[lucifershalo]

Hello I am going to Orlando (from Belgium) at end of july (just before flying to the CGE probably) anyone has some good advises for shops, places for retrogames fan? Also what to do in Orlando except for the classic stuff like Disney-thing and cinemas...

thanks for your help

 

ps I dont know if it is the good place to post that...

Nothing. There is nothing here but Disney, Wet n Wild, Universal...There is a place called Cybertron they sell alot of old videogames at the Sandford flea market called Flea World. Nothing of real interest.

the Sandford flea market called Flea World. Nothing of real interest.

 

Actually , I was turned on to Flea World from another member here. Sometimes you can find some good stuff there, not just Atari either. In my quest last weekend , in addition to the Atari finds , I was able to score a nice Soviet Strike for SegaSaturn @ $1.99 , case & all were perfect.

 

It's a good treat if you feel like driving. There's one booth called Game Trader , who also has a store in the Daytona flea market, as well as a retail store in South Daytona. He has some good stuff , priced accordingly.

 

Flea World is probably your closest bet , and roughly 30min away on 17-92 ( Casselberry ) , not to be confused with 192 if you're staying near Disney.

I have been to Orlando quite often. I have never really found anything. Flea World is a huge flea market. I didn't get to Flea World this year but it has been a fun place to go to in the past. Last year they had several game dealers but I went on a Friday and several were closed.

I live near Daytona and the Daytona Flea Market (just off I-95) is great.

 

Cheap games all over the place, and you're bound to find good deals.

 

The Video Game Dungon shop is the only reason why I go there.

Sorry I don't have a good retro-gaming place to see but if you like American Rock and Roll you have to check out Hard Rock Vault. It is a Rock and Roll walk-through "museum". I think it was less than $15 a person to get in and well worth it!

In between Tampa and Orlando is a town called Lakeland (where I am from).

 

In the Lakeland Square Mall, there was a used game shop called Retro's. It closed in January of this year.

 

They had great stuff....used games from Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Intellivision, ColecoVision; even a Vectrex!

 

Of course NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and other ubiquitous game console.

 

I really padded my retro collection from that shop. Unfortunately, the cell phone accessory/fake gold/bling-it-up crowd that frequents that mall did not appreciate retro gaming.

 

From what I understand, there is a great retroshop in South Florida (Miami - Ft. Lauderdale area) but I cannot confirm that.

There actually is a place near the intersection of SR-50/Colonial Dr. and Bumby Ave. It's behind the FireHouse Subs. The store is called "S&F Video Games". Run by an elderly couple who loves the older games. They've always done good business with me.

I went to S&F when I was down there too. Nice little place. Nice people. Good prices. There is also a place about 5 miles down the road that sells comics, role playing game stuffm and used books that also has some games, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the name. It was somehwere between S&F and the airport.

 

also, call S&F before you go. they sometimes open later than the hours on the window.

Wierd Zonie. There used to be a really nice used game shop near the airport in a shopping plaza that had a Save-Rite and a CiCi's. Sadly it closed down back in '03.

Been there. Nice selection of Nes and SNES stuff. I bit pricey on the common Atari games. Did manage to pick up a NES Stack Up game with the 68 pin adapter for the Famicom for .99
