List of Stores That Sell Turbo Games

[jlued686]

I thought it might be cool to try to make a map of stores around the country that sell TurboGrafx/Duo games.  If you have one in your area, please click the link below and add it to the map.  In the comments, please add the store's approximate location (ex: corner of Main and Grand, in strip mall) and the relative size of their Turbo selection.

I added Cedar Cliff Collectibles.  Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to allow one person to add more than one location.  If you figure it out, let me know.  In the meantime, if someone from the Twin Cities could add Toy 'Riffic in Maplewood (near the Maplewood Mall, small selection), and Discland in Bloomington (off 94th and 35W, rarely carries Turbo games), I'd appreciate it.

Maybe if we get enough entries on here Keranu or Aaron could sticky this post?

Thanks!

i think there should be a limit on what counts as 'sells turbografx games'; i think some Gamers (local old game chain that I hate) have, like, 3 or 4 hucards. and 2 of them are keith courage.

[nat]

I live in WA and there used to be this GREAT store in Redmond, WA called FamCom Games. The owner was a huge Turbo nut. Half the store was filled with Turbo stuff. SuperGrafxes, Japanes hardware, Duos, etc. And don't get me started on the games. The store closed around 2003 and I have no idea what happened to him, or his inventory. Sad deal, really, there is not another store in the state to my knowledge that has any Turbo stuff at all.

[Keranu]

I set the topic as sticky for 'ya, good thread.

The best place for Turbo games that I know of near the Chicago area is Video Games Etc..., ran by video game collector Sean Kelley. It's not a paradise for Turbo games, but it has certainly made improvements in Turbo selection over the past year. Last time I was there they had a bunch of PCE HuCard imports as well as Super Grafx games in nice condition. For American games it's the typical Turbo games you might find at stores; World Class Baseball, Power Golf, that Volleyball game, etc... though last time I was there he added a few new Turbo Chip games that came with the cardboard box, so I'm hoping he'll have more. Definitely a place worth checking out, especially for retro games in general. It's located in Norridge, Illinois, I'll add the address later.

It would be even better if people would add some stores to the map!   

[torgo]

I wish that I knew of some.

I just stopped there last Friday, and the selection was pretty bleak. Some New in Box OLD games (World Court Tennis etc.) Also, only a few PCE Hu Cards like Parodius and Street Fighter 2:CE ($20 though, in the case) Most of the prices were a tad high though, and the Saturn and Jaguar selection was pretty weak as well. Nice place though. I saw quite a few classic systems that I wanted to buy.

[jlued686]

Seriously...if you have a store in your area that sells turbo games, please add it.  It'd be cool to know where they are when we're traveling around the country.

[CrackTiger]

Basically, if a store that carries Turbo stuff gets on the map and isn't a rip off, it won't be a Turbo selling store anymore. 

[Jammaniaclord]

I now live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, but i lived in Sharon, Pennsylvania for 5 years, and in Pennsylvania all my life, and there was this really cool gu named Mark, that owned this chain of used/new, buy/sell/trade movie and game store called Splitstone Entertainment, and he started carrying old-butt turbo-grafx games. I always found some cool old-butt retro stuff there, and he always made me deals on stuff, like one time he gave me like 60 Sega C.D games because they never sold. LOL! It wasn't long after that the retro-craze kicked in, and he started selling them. you should check his site to see if he might have anything. I left in September of '05, and his selection was really small on tg-16 games then, but since then, college kids might have told their moms/dads to get rid of anyting they might have stored in their attic/closets since they left home, and brought out some special imports.


Give it a spin.  http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=86664017

[DragonmasterDan]

The other place I know of in the Chicago area to add to Keranu's post is Gamerz Garage in Westmont Illinois on Cass avenue.

[SNKNostalgia]

Too bad I can't help on this. The only stores I knew of was EB Games back in 1991-92 in Fajardo, Puerto Rico when my dad was stationed there. That is where I got my Cadash and Final Lap Twin. I still remember the wall and seeing Lords of Thunder and wishing I had $350 to get it with the CD-ROM drive, damn.

I got a kick out of this, some old game trading store in Laurel, MS has one TG-16 system with the volleyball game and it is selling for $90. HAHA, I almost wanted to have them call their manager to come down so I could throw it at his face.

Hey another Seattle peep   I live in Bellevue, and there is another place that sells TG stuff (they had a Duo last time I checked) called Pink Godzilla in Chinatown.  Their website is www.pinkgodzillagames.com.  I bought some TG games from them when they first opened, but I don't know if they have any games in stock now as there is nothing on their website....

[Ceti Alpha]

About a month ago I was searching online for Turbo games and discovered that there was actually a store here in Halifax/Dartmouth, Nova Scotia that sold Turbo merchandise. All they have at the moment are one used copy of Andre Panza Kick Boxing and one used copy of Victory Run for $20 each. But they will do special orders . Check their prices for special orders. Some are super expensive for games that are hardly worth it, but some more rare and/or better games seem quite reasonable. I would like to know if the games are "complete with box", or what. They also sell at a local flea market. I'm going to have to check it out and talk to them. I might even grab those two games. 

I posted the store on the map as well. 

[NecroPhile]

Ouch!  Their prices suck goat wang, considering their comment on the condition of items (may or may not have a case, may or may not have a manual, may or may not be dipped in poo, etc.).  Even the dreaded ebay should yield equal or better prices - without having to gamble on the quality (from reputable sellers anyway).

hehehehe....you said, "dipped in poo"....hehehe 

Yeah, not very outstanding prices, eh? If the case and instructions are intact for Andre Panza Kick Boxing then 20 bones isn't too bad. At least I live here and can see the condition of the games and save shipping cost.  But yeah, definitely not going to put Ebay outta business. 

[CrackTiger]

In the last few years, a bunch of local losers have done to local retro gaming what Bullseye/2_many_collectibles did to eBay. There are a few with tables at every local fleamarket and they generally sell incomplete bad condition games/systems for the same price as or several times higher than mint complete or new items generally sell for online.

I recently found one of them had a bare (no hookups or anything) Coregrafx with 18 of the most common worthless HuCards, including some doubles(like The Kung Fu). The one partner couldn't give me a price on anything, except to say that his buddy was only selling it together as a lot. It took a long time for him to finally get a hold of him at which point he said he was asking $290 for it.

Considering that most of the games were the ones that sell for $50 -$1.50 on eBay, I had pegged the value at about $40 - $60 tops. And although local markets can differ greatly from the online market, here there is absolutely no real interest in Turbo/PCE. The few nerds I've seen who actually buy the odd Turbochip do it as a gimmick since they want to have some of everything.

[Sinistron]

I'm in Queens New York and there ain't a dang thing out here.  There's a videogamecentral right near me and the only games they ever have are King of Casino and TV Sports Football.  Bleccch.  Went into Flushing last year on a pc-engine game hunt- expecting to find many stores with games and these people never even heard of the fogging system.  Total joke.  There's gotta be a place in Manhattan or maybe Brooklyn I'm sure but I've yet to see one.  It's been Ebay for me constant.  I don't see a store beating dreamstars prices with that 1.50 shipping and handling for hucards.

[MurderDate]

I moved out of Brooklyn a couple months ago..  Never found a TG16 game there anywhere.   I did,  in 100% honesty,  get my first TG16 system outside my apartment in the trash in a bag that said "still works!".  Took me a couple months to check it out but I have been HOOKED ever since !

[kokuryu]

There used to be a pawn shop around here in Ft. Lauderdale FL that specialized in retro game systems.  They were pretty good and super picky - had to have everything for them to buy a system from you, and it all had to be in near perfect shape.  I will see if I can track them down again, but its been a few years.

As for New York, you can MAYBE find some in China Town in Manhattan itself - look for the ChinaTown Tech mall and go in there where they have the Chinese versions of the Anime videos and models - you might find them in there - they USED to have them there years ago.

Also out on Long Island, I found shops inside flea markets or open markets selling TG stuff - but that was years ago - I dont know if you will find any anymore.

[esteban]

A few months ago I went to the Digital Press store in Northern Jersey... they had a great display case with lots of PCE stuff (i.e. the PCE LT, the expensive collapsable/folding DUO monitor, etc.) but the selection of games was stinky. Not that I expected much, but still.

I did buy a Bionic Commando novelette, though. I have yet to read it.

[COUNT SMRIFNACK]

If your near Austin Texas you gotta check out one of the two, or both of the two Game Over stores.  They carry around 20-30 hu cards each, and prolly 5-10 cd's including some imports.  They also have Tg systems usually, and lots of controlers and turbo taps.  Great stores, I usually leave there broke as hell.

I recently (three years ago or so) moved out to Seattle myself from SoCal. Pink Godzilla can be a great store if you don't have access to cheaper dealers on Ebay and such, or if you're really savvy about the price of games, otherwise you'll get ripped off, to put it bluntly. I don't hold anything against them as they do have an overhead that needs to be taken into consideration. I buy stuff from them once in awhile, and have gotten some decent deals, but it's a hassle since I actually care whether I'm spending more in a shop than I would be online.

The other place, which I absolutely DON'T recommend, is Al's on the Ave (University Way and 45th/47th). The prices there are almost ALWAYS a rip-off. I did buy Dragon Knight II & III off them ($8 for missing manual DKII, $15 for DKIII) and they do have a nice selection of TG-16/PC Engine/CD games, but you really have to know what each game is worth. Sometimes you can get a deal, usually you'll get taken to the cleaners. There's actually a few Al's locations, but I never go to Federal Way or wherever the other one is so I can't comment on what their selection is like.

I've been to Tokyo Kid and Game Universe but what is the selection like at Play N Trade? I might have to check them out.

[bust3dstr8]

Hoobs, I was there 3 days ago and they had close to nuttin', a Keith Courage and Pacland.

[somery]

Here in New Orleans, besides the thrift stores, we've only had a place called The Game Trader for our retro gaming needs for years now. One location in Esplanade Mall in Kenner, one in Lakeside mall in Metairie, and one about 20 minutes away in Laplace. They were always on the expensive side of things, but they *only* sold/traded classic games and systems (none of that new crap), usually had a good selection, serviced broken consoles and were good for when you needed a quick fix and didn't feel like waiting a week for a for a game to arrive from a better deal you found online. But then....

I went to Lakeside Mall on my lunch break about a month ago and found that Game Trader was totally gone. Just completely closed down and emptied out with no notes or anything. Fearing the worst, I went to the Esplanade. Same situation. I haven't checked out the one in Laplace yet, but I suspect it's gone as well. Their website (http://thegametrader.com/) has also gone 404. Their high prices may have pissed me off, but they were our ONLY local, "brick and mortar" classic gaming resource. 

There is a little hope, however. There's a new retro gaming shop in Kenner on Williams Ave. called Play N Trade. I went there the other day and... well, their selection of actual classic stuff is pretty spare and much of the wall space is dedicated to used next-gen games for sale/trade. No TG16 stuff to speak of. Still, I'll give them a while to establish themselves and check back in a few months to see how things are going. I did pick up a boxed NES Max controller for $3.99 while I was there. Couldn't help myself. (I loved the controller as a kid, but now I find it almost unusable...)

Anyway, that's all I've got. If ANYONE out there reading this is from or near the New Orleans area and you know of some other retro gaming store I'm unaware of, PLEASE speak up and correct me! I will be eternally grateful to you! I secretly hope that there's some place I just don't know about...

Incidentally, I'm a huge thrift store hound and I've never come across anything TG16-related in either New Orleans or Baton Rouge area stores since I started regularly haunting them in about 2004. Weak. I had hopes for the Baton Rouge area since that's where I grew up and I know of three people besides myself who had a TG16 growing up there. I know that doesn't seem like a lot (everyone I knew had an NES), but most people's childhood TG16 stories involve their being the one oddball kid in the whole city with a Turbo system. 

[nectarsis]

Just went to a Play N Trade up here, same deal.MAYBE 10-15 SNES and Genseis loose carts, everything else newest system stuff.

[somery]

Just went to a Play N Trade up here, same deal.MAYBE 10-15 SNES and Genseis loose carts, everything else newest system stuff.

That sucks, Nectarsis. I'm hoping it's just because they're relatively new and haven't had time to accumulate a decent selection of old stuff through trade-ins and whatnot.

Also, I had no idea these guys were a national franchise. I thought they were just a new local place that opened up in the wake of Game Trader, but then I read your post... and when I search for video game stores in Louisiana on Google, a bunch of them pop up in different cities all around here. Interesting.

[Arkhan Asylum]

I added mine, I think...?


There are two stores near me that carry an alright selection of Turbo games.

The problem is sometimes they shoot for the stars when the price em'

[turbogrfxfan]

I think its a great Idea!!!!!  I go to this place in the east village on st. markes in NYC but I dont remember the name of the place.  Ill hit you up when I get it.

[Press_Run]

Next Level Videogames in Blackwood, New Jersey.

They got a good selection retro and modern games. Mostly overprice except for obscure systems, such as Turbo grafx and Game Gear, for fair prices. Loose sports titles for $3, Cadash (loose) $8, Super Star Soldier (loose) for $10. Most complete in case are no high than $10 with the exception of a few. They got some sealed games but all are sports. All n' all. A good place to look in, if you close by or going to be in the area.

[Duo_R]

How about some Nor-cal representation? From Bay Area to Sac? I found a place several years ago in Sacramento that had alot of retrogaming, and had Turbo stuff (but was priced pretty high). I totally lost the location / number and no idea if they still carry Turbo stuff. It was a small shop and had a ton of NES / SNES.

[Mathius]

Got one for ya. McVan's Video Games in Indianapolis, IN in Broadripple on 62nd street right on the strip. Last time I was in there they had a big stack of Turbografx and Duo games including a sealed copy of Lords Of Thunder for $35. That's where I picked up my copy of Galaga '88 for $20.

[Sinistron]

Just got back from my honeymoon in Salem, MA- and Game Zone around the corner from my hotel carried turbografx games.  I picked up Bravoman.

Found this store online and they said they had a lot in stock.  I drove out there a little while back and they did have a LOT in stock.  An entire display case of Turbo games, some even boxed.  I would estimate their stock to have somewhere near 150 games.  At the time I picked up 7-8 games, a Turbo Stick and a 3.0 system card.  Their game prices can be found at http://www.gamedude.com/TurboGrafx.htm.  Unfortunately the only way to see what they have is to either call them or go to their store, their stock isnt posted online.  Happy shopping!

lol, that is where I buy a lot of my games. The interior of the store is quite breathtaking: there is a bounty of classic games. Their only downfall is the damned void stickers that they ruin everything they sell with. It took me months to get the residue of one of the hucards that had been bastardized by them.

[hoobs88]

I purchased some games from ebay and a few of them had 'Game Dude' stickers on the hu card and/or instruction manual. You'd think they would put them on the clear part of the jewel case so you could replace it if you didn't want residue on your game or manual. Unfortunately, they also don't have the 8 games that I need to finish my collection.

[caa718]

Yeah Game Dude has been around for many years.  I used to get the Game Dude mail order price list catalog when I was younger and first purchased the TG-16 from Electronics Boutique.  They are one of the rare companies that have managed to stay in business.

[jlued686]

Holy crap!  I'm guessing a bunch of those games are mine.  A long while back I packed up and shipped a giant stash of mint Turbo games to Game Dude.  Of course, I've since bought back all those games and more.  Seeing those pictures just reminds me of my biggest gaming mistake ever.

At least you're back in action.

There is a place here in GA (Name i forget) that had a few titles for the Tg-16. They specialize in comic books and games. That is the ONLY place i have ever seen anything related to PC Engine.

Ok I finally found the store in Sacramento (not sure if there are any Sac peeps on here):


Fair Game
8214 Fair Oaks Blvd
Carmichael, CA 95608
916-944-4263

Only had like 10 turbo titles and ALL were overpriced. But they have a very decent selection of NES, SNES and Genesis, something you don't really find locally anymore. They also had Sega Saturn and CD, but limited selection. There is another Fair Games in Sacramento, but this one (not too far from the other one) has more retro stuff.

How about some Nor-cal representation? From Bay Area to Sac? I found a place several years ago in Sacramento that had alot of retrogaming, and had Turbo stuff (but was priced pretty high). I totally lost the location / number and no idea if they still carry Turbo stuff. It was a small shop and had a ton of NES / SNES.

Use Goo Gone to get rid of GameDude's darn silver stickers.  It takes lots of elbow grease too, but it works fine.

I avoid going there except on July 4th & Black Friday, when they have 20% off all of their used games & accessories!

I live in the tide water area in Virginia and there are very few stores that have TurboGrafx games. If they do its Shitty sports games like tv sport or power golf
