That's pretty cool. I have one a few minutes away from me here in town, never been inside. This kinda inspired me to maybe check it out.

A couple years back I walked past one in a strip mall and went in. I bought a used Game Cube with controllers and 4 games (Mario, Zelda, and I forget the others) for like $75. I played it for a few weeks and put everything on Ebay and got my money back. Was fun to play some old games on an actual system for a bit.

Every once and awhile I download some old games on the Android TV in the living room and play for an hour or so (simple BT controller).

For sure, I can't count the hours over the years I spent just wandering around my local mom and pop video store looking at all the covers for the movies I wasn't old enough to rent.

I remember in particular the box for Ken Russell's Gothic terrified me for years, to the point I would walk by it really fast just in case the little guy jumped off the box to get me.

Why'd you even bother re-selling the stuff when it only costed ya $75 in the first place?

Figured I would never play them again, so why not. At least that way, someone got to enjoy them. I'll give away or sell things that I know I won't use, as I try not be wasteful or horde items.
