good places to buy in NYC?

[etrader99]

Can someone recommend some good stores in NYC carrying classic gaming hardware/software?

Multimedia 1.0 is maybe the best and ONLY place in NYC that sells alot of old and new games and they have like almost every Atari games and units including the Atari 2600, 5200, and 7800, Commodore 64, Nintendo NES, Gameboy, SNES, N64, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, ColecoVision, Intellivision and Vectrex. Plus new ones like Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox.

Sure, if you want to be gouged... $150 for a 4-switch Atari 2600, for one example. $5-$10 for most common games.

 

I've bought stuff there but everything I've bought has been a very small purchase and I've always debated whether it's worth it. They've got a box of loose common games that's sometimes worth it if you're missing any commons - it's $1 per game. I've also bought a couple loose 5200 games for $4 each, and a boxed Intellivision Microsurgeon for $5. These are not good deals, but they're at least not bad deals.

 

Most of the stuff they sell is a bad deal, though. But they're at least fun to visit as almost a museum.

 

I think there is a huge place in Brooklyn that has a lot of classic game stuff for cheap; I don't know where it is but maybe somebody else will chime in about it.
