List of Stores That Sell Turbo Games

[GohanX]

Well here is the meger TG/PCE offerings at Lost Ark. They also have a Browning and Lodoss War not pictured.

Heh, I saw. I've actually been in there twice now, grabbed a NES toploader and a bunch of games on one of the trips. One of these days I'll have time to put a few quarters into the Afterburner machine.

Does anyone know of any stores up here in Quebec? I've tried searching, to no avail...

Keep trying. Many of the best PCE collections belong to very lucky frenchmen... so one way or another, you're more likely to run into someone who may have a lead (or know someone with a lead).

I guess you're right, but I'm running out of stores/ flea markets to check. Let's hope I find someone who knows a place.

Went to Game Zone in Salem, MA today. They had a small collection of games, and quite a bit of hardware. Everything was crazy expensive, for example $20 for Vigilante and $250 for a turbo express. However, it was still nice to see a place with some games- it's not that often I come across anything locally.

Oh, I should also mention/ you should add That's Entertainment in Worcester, MA. I go there whenever I am in the area. They usually have a dozen or so games, including a lot of Japanese imports- prices are much more reasonable than I usually see elsewhere.

Here is one you can add to your list. http://www.lunavideogames.com/ These guys have 2 stores in my city they usually have a selection of TurboGrafx and on occasion Duo games. They are a great store. When I first found my TG16 it had no controller, RF or power supply and not knowing at the time that generics of either would work I took it down to see if they would let me use some of their TG16 cables to test it. They did and let me play R-type for a while.

Last time I was in San Diego (this past July) I stopped by both of those shops to see what kind of TG goodness they had.  Both stores were selling the console (for $70, which isn't horrible, but it was more than I was willing to pay) and one had an Express, which they wanted $200 for (which I thought was pretty steep).  Both stores also had maybe a dozen common HuCards, and I think they wanted between $10-20 ea.  I didn't get any Turbob goodness from them, but did pick up a handful of Genesis carts for $3 ea.  Good bunch of guys - they know their retro.

Video Game Wizards in Portland Oregon has some stuff. Got my 2nd Duo there when I traded in my Japanese Saturn at the Retro Gaming Convention. My only complaint is that they included Keith Courage with it, but hey at least I got two more controllers and av and power supply with it too!

Last time I was in San Diego (this past July) I stopped by both of those shops to see what kind of TG goodness they had.  Both stores were selling the console (for $70, which isn't horrible, but it was more than I was willing to pay) and one had an Express, which they wanted $200 for (which I thought was pretty steep).  Both stores also had maybe a dozen common HuCards, and I think they wanted between $10-20 ea.  I didn't get any Turbob goodness from them, but did pick up a handful of Genesis carts for $3 ea.  Good bunch of guys - they know their retro.  

The downside to them knowing their stuff is they price accordingly and you'll never find crazy hidden gems like will occasionally happen at swap meets or play n trade. Though they are still almost always priced fairly and usually cheaper then ebay. They've been really cool to me when I've bought and traded from them. Once when I was there I was short 3 bucks + tax and they said what I had was enough and gave it to me. And they have stretched the value of my trade-in's on more then one occasion if the item I wanted to trade for was pretty close in price(such as some Lynx games for my old GBC). They've also got a great return policy so in the event a dud game slips through them they will take it back with no hassle. There is only one other retro gaming store aside from the two Luna locations that I'm aware of in my town. The guy who runs it is a loony and prices his shit like its made of gold, want a copy of Finally Fantasy 7 black label? $100. Boxed Sega Genesis III in pretty shitty condition? $300. Loose copy of Secret of Mana w/ peeling label and writing on cart? $90. Earthbound? Don't bother asking.   lol Here is his store, check out the reviews, I'd be willing to be all the positive reviews are from friends and relatives or people oblivious to what things are worth.

I should check out this Luna Video Games place... though, I've usually been disappointed in local game stores that deal with retro systems...
