My trip to the Exchange in Chicago got me this:
Where is this place in Chi? I would like to visit sometime soon, and need some gaming spots to crawl. What were the prices you got for these?
Also I want that Suiko 4. I have 3 and 5, and no 4 is setting off my triggers.
It's called the exchange.
http://theexchange.com/There are two of them in Chicago. The one on Belmont has a retro game store close to it called People Play Games:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/People-Play-Games/142415859646Though honestly I don't think it's as good. Though they do have a lot of Saturn games and I was able to get R.A.D on the PS2 there for $15.
As for the prices:
Growlanser Generations: $25.
Gitaroo Man:$25
Suikoden 4: $20
Rogue Galaxy: $10
Contra SS: $6
Empheral Phantasia: $6
Chrono Trigger (Sealed) $30-I actually did'nt think this was a good deal.
I think the prices are usually fair. The one I go to the most is the one in Wicker Park. Last time I was there they had copies of all the Fatal Frame games, all of the PS2 Suikoden games and the 1st for $40, the Lunar games, all the SMT PS2 games, lots of Dark Cloud 1 and 2, various Sqaure PS1 games with all the FF games sealed(if that matters to you) and some other things I'm sure. The last time I was at the other one up north they had Persona 2 EP. The stock changes pretty regularly as well.
I think I've goten a lot of PS1/PS2 games from them such as:
Resident Evil Dead Aim, Resident Evil Outbreak 1/2, Onimusha DoD, Okami, Viewtful Joe 1/2, Beatdown Fist of Vengence, Clock Tower 3, Star Ocean 3(with the pointless outer box as well!), Romancing Saga PS2, Wild Arms 3/4, Sukioden 3/4/5, Grandia 2/3, Shadow Hearts 1/2, Legend of Legaia 2, Metal Saga, MS Saga, Gungrave 1/2, Evergrace, Ace Combat 4/5, Rez, Space Channel PS2, Urban Reign, Art of Fighting Anthology, KoF Max Impact 1/2, Rygar, Fatal Frame 1, Arcana Heart, both Castkevannia PS2 games, Nanobreaker, Neo Contra, Ring of Red, E.O.E, BloodRyane 1/2, Way of the Samurai 1, Trapt, Samurai Western, Indigo Prophecy, MK Shaolin Monks, Winback 1/2, Oni, Spy Fiction, Radient Historia, Bushido Blade 1/2, Evil Zone, Galerians Ash, Illbleed, and Soul Blade.
So clearly you can see I've bought some games from there and out of that list Radiant Historia cost the most $25. Came with the soundtrack though.
So I'm a fan. It's a nice store and they just don't have games. I can't promise they'll have something you want if you were to ever vist, but it's a cool place to visit. Plus, the one in Wicker Park is in a very lively and hip part of town. The one on Belmont is in what we call Boys Town. So I'm sure you'd find some other neat things around them.
