You were in Montreal? Did you hit any game stores?

None!  Was too busy; stayed at the Westin on the north side of Old Montreal and just hit the town with the family.   Are there any good ones worth checking out next time? 

Wow you were right by my old office. We moved 2 weeks ago.

I would recommend RetroMtl in the eastern parts of town. Souffle Dans Cassette (translated: Blow in the Cartridge), but they're in the northern Suburbs so you'd need a car to get there. The owner is one of those really stand-out, outstanding, receiving-the-town-key type dude and I love doing business with him. That says a lot because I'm the kinda game-collector-chaser that never wants to pay the price ppl ask for their games.

There's this weird-ass shop called A to Z Electronics that has piles, nay, TOWERS of old electronics all over their store floor and this includes old vidya games.

I can DEF recommend hitting ArcadeMtl (downtown), which is a retro-arcade/bar situation. There's another bar on Ste-Catherine st. with a "gaming flavor" called the Scorpion bar, I don't like the place much but that's just personal taste. And the only arcade joint with modern machines is Amusement 2000, also downtown.

Also, if you do come to Montreal semi-regularly I would advise joining the CCJVQ facebook page. It's all mostly french but it's the biggest collector group in the province and they hold swap meets 4 times a year. Last one was on September 21st so you could maybe have made it there! I had a table there and you could have scored big on cheap SNES games and I had some uncommon Coleco and Atari 2600 games in box
