A Visit to Digtal Press in Clifton NJ

[xelement5x]

I've always been keen on checking that place out if I'm ever in that neck of the woods.

Someday...

Thanks for the in depth pics.  Looks awesome!!

Yeah, I was a regular on the DP forums for a long time but have always been interested in seeing the actual store as well.

The DP forums are a shitshow, but the store itself looks pretty great.

The guy that runs it is a cool dude too.

I'd love to visit the store someday.  DigitalPress were my first video game forums, and I used to go to their CGE shows when they held them here in NorCal.  Yes, the forums are awful now, but in 2004 they were the place to be.

Yeah when I went there it was mostly Aussie2B and EdOscuro being dumbassed know it alls, without actually having much of a goddamn clue what they were saying.

All the drama remembered from 10-15 years ago.  I didn't even know that they had a forum until now.  I imagine all forums argue for the fun of it.  I think it subsides as the members get older.

90% of Google searches on classic game questions still returns Digital Press forum threads from 10-15 years ago.

DP asked a lot of the important questions early on and it was one of the few "general" gaming sites that covered a lot of stuff, had a lot of members, and kept the drama to a minimum for the most part I think.  One of the things I liked the most is that they classified a game by rarity, not price in their databases.

Why is a Alien Soldier Repro in the glass case.

same, i still remember that's the forum where 2 big things happened for me-
1 - I discovered repro games, I still have a handful of the ones I built via the knowledge I got there.
2 - That's where I bought my first NEC hardware, a Duo-R with like 5 games, which led me here.

I'm hoping everyone in the store knows what it is, but to be fair, it is a pretty awesome game once you get the hang of it

It's a pretty great store for the most part.  I live about 25 minutes from there, and my friend and I go probably once a month.  They just did a remodel at the end of February (27th and 28th I think), wonder what is different now.  For the most part their pricing is pretty damn good, every now and then though you find common shit that's way over priced and rare stuff that is way cheaper than it should be.  I was actually there a little bit after those NeoGeo games were traded in as they were getting priced.  I was picking up an in the box Golvelleus.

This store is very close to me, but I am just too old and have too much stuff to get excited about the inventory and pricing. I admit I am spoiled.

However, they used to have monthly get-together and if they still do, I think it would be fun to check it out. Lots of parents bringing their kids (which is what I might do).

So....I think it's kinda funny that I'm thinking about bringing my kids.

I'm old.

You could do an onsite Turbo DPoodle!

Thanks for this, is always cool to see a store with good inventory. However, even without being able to see the prices, you know most shit has to be eBay or above, or it would be empty as a grocery store after the apocalypse. At least, this is what I've seen in my video game hunting around the country. Any store with good prices gets torn apart by the pack of hungry collectors that act like starving dogs.

They still do the Monthly events there.  I think on their website you can sign up for the email about it, called NAVA.
