Where are you from Ninja Spirit? Old school gaming is huge around Portland in Oregon, it seems like everytime I'm in a gamestop or EB there are people asking where to find old NES and SNES games. All the pawn shops and small game stores have jacked the prices up on all the hot games so you can't find good deals anywhere anymore, hell even the goodwills around here have caught on and raised the prices on some stuff.

Retro gaming runs dry these days around here.
>All the Gamestops and EB's, what's considered old school is PS1.
>I have NEVER seen a Game Crazy anywhere in Virginia.
>The flea markets (or swap meets as you West Coasters call them) are usually Mexicans selling sealed GBA, PS2, XBox, and Gamecube games that people don't care about. I used to hit there every weekend tracking down master system stuff.
But after all these points are said and done and that I'm collecting Japanese now, I just don't give a damn anymore. Opening that long awaited for package with that beautiful game case feels like Christmas (in fact better than Christmas) compared to coming home with dust ridden NES games.
Speaking from what I've seen, it's to the point where in my hometown, if the I hear the words "Turbo Duo" or "Sega Saturn" pass someone's lip in a conversation, we automatically become friends right on the spot. Where I live I feel people like that are far and few between.
