Game Force in Boulder is probably the coolest shop we have. Plus Boulder is an awesome town. Buy Back is cool, the one I was at recently had good prices but a poor selection. No turbob. :(

Then there's Doc's. They actually have two locations pretty close to one another out in Aurora. Great selection, both locations generally have Turbo and PC Engine stuff. The people there are friendly and knowledgable, at least the last time I was there. Having said that their prices went retarded and their constant spamming of craigslist pisses me off. I haven't been back in quite some time.

I'm guessing a cab to Boulder or Aurora would be pretty pricey. :( You are staying pretty close to an Illegal Pete's though which is the best place to eat on the planet. :D

If you get a chance, you might want to take the lightrail downtown and check out the 1up barcade.

The DTC is a pretty nice area, and the Marriott is pretty nice.  I go up there every year for an anime convention and they're well organized.  There is a place near there called Larkburger that is a bit pricey but has REALLY good burgers in my opinion, they also have these delicious Parmesan Truffle fries.

Anyway, as to game shops there is also a place called Game Source that has two locations, one south by me in and one up in Littleton.  Their prices are always pretty fair from my experience and they have pretty decent stock.  I've been to one Game Force location as well and they were pretty nice too. 

Enjoy the city, if you can get downtown there is some neat stuff there too.
