I love these kinda shops and love y’all giving them a proper, lengthy video. All these emulation devices are fun, they’re convenient, but I’ll always prefer playing games on original hardware. I don’t collect for money or clout, I collect for nostalgia and since my parents didn’t have a ton of money, it’s easy to buy consoles and games that make me nostalgic 😂

Went back in the days of covid and staycations, absolutely loved it, spent a good while in there and Lee was welcoming. Left a happy man 👍🏻

I personally an't recommend this store enough, Liam is a legend. Always a pleasure to deal with. So glad you took the time to go do a visit!

I’ve not been in years as I moved away but I used to go in once a week. I remember Lee starting on the market and his first location on Micklegate. Bought loads from there over the years. Lee, Dave and Liam are all top blokes.

Brings back so many memories of being a kid and hunting for Megadrive games at places similar to this, back in the 90s. I must visit if I'm ever in York ❤

[GrimNevar]

Always excited to visit this shop whenever I go to York, it's amazing. Also, I'd love to see a video on Electric Town in Ripon, it's a hidden gem!

Planning on going to York in the next few years just for a stay over night with the wife, and this will 100% be a place I go and spend money

This is one of the best retro game shops in the UK. Jam packed and wall to wall games. My only wish is they game a bigger shop as it can get a little cramped when it’s full of people

[DavoTypeR]

What a great store this is, so many memories in one place!

[superficus]

Such a shame this shop wasn't there in 2010 because I lived in York for a brief period during that year and I would of KILLED to of been able to walk round a place like that!!
