India’s Gaming Godfather 🎮

Meet Babu, India's gaming godfather! His store in Pune, Maharashtra, has been around since the 1980s when he started renting Nintendo Game & Watch for just 1 rupee an hour. This is his story.

Babu's Video Games (बाबू वीडियो गेम्स) is located in the beautiful and chilled-out city of Pune, India. Pune is a sprawling city in the western state of Maharashtra, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and beautiful architecture. It is also a hub of education and technology, making it a popular destination for students and professionals.

I remember him... he's such a cool guy. I used to hangout at his store all the time. Now I'm 29 and working and settled in Canada. I will never forget the memories this store gave me.

May God keep him safe. He kept the kids in a safe place, playing video games.

I don't normally comment on social media but damn he made so many kid's childhoods awesome. Especially renting expensive and not so easily available consoles. I can imagine the vibes must've been unreal as I grew up in a similar environment but I was lucky enough to own a gameboy and kids would surround me to watch that small screen 😄 I'd love to visit this place

I always loved gaming stores. I don't know about now but they used to be popular with kids in Lebanon. We had counter strike to play, a whole bunch of us huddled over 5 pcs but that was enough. I'm glad stores like this still have constant customers.

What an absolute legend. Babu G is truly a top G

[Trishal]

Government should provide us with persons like Babu in every city. 😌
