Let's Visit CRAZY THUMBS Video Game Store in London, UK

While I was in London I visited a video game store that came with high recommendations from Gemma (TheGebs24) and my friend Jack from Coatsink. They have a wide variety of games for all systems. Here's what I saw and what I picked up at the end of the video.

I'm in the USA. I'd love to just go to one of those overseas shops and have a coffee and talk to random folks about games. Fun times!

New Zealand Story is one of my all time fav games, I had a paper round as a kid and we'd turn up early as the place across the road had arcade machines and I played this game for months before our work started. Brilliant!

The white carts with red accent are for the ill-fated Amstrad GX4000 games console. It is based on the then still-popular CPC Amstrad computer tech. It appeared in the video too 😃

One thing about Londons outer burrows - you can throw a rock and this a dozen chicken shops.

Closest retro games shop to where I Iive (apart from CEX).
Really good selection, decent prices with knowledgeable staff.

This is great timing. I can take the tube from the O2 next week when I'm there for Duran Duran.

This is literally around the corner from me in Tooting! Amazing to see you find and give these guys a look! Awesome vid

I would love to spend a day with Riggs. To experience a day in the life. Thank you for the content dude.

I really hoped you like it here in the UK, it's always been great for games and consoles, all the best from Bradford West Yorkshire.

This is like 15 mins down the road from me, been meaning to check it out for ages! Kinda surreal to suddeny see you pop up down the road!

The Batman white cartridge was the Amstrad GX4000. It was released in 1990 concurrent with the Amstrad CPC Plus home computer.

I love this video. It's great seeing retro video games stores from "across the pond."

The physical store doesn't exist anymore. I was at Tooting today looking for it in the freezing cold. If you're in London, be aware and don't make my mistake.

[TheGebs]

Love to Michelle and family

[pauljennings]

Oh wow John, I live in the UK and even I didn't know it was there! I gotta go next time I'm in the big smoke (London) I'm looking forward to the next video you put out from the U.K. 🙂

The games at 2:41, light grey with red top are for the Amstrad GX400. An 8 bit Console that came out in the 16 bit era
