Bricks and Mortar shops...

Post by Robbeasy »

I've got a day off work this week, and decided it might be nice to have a day out wandering around, see if I can find any bricks and mortar retro gaming shops to visit that might have some nice speccy gear...

Blimey it looks a bit sparse.

Anyone know of a local gaming shop that caters for our particular niche?

I live in the East Midlands, but not averse to a bit of travelling for my gaming needs :)

Currently, about the only shop I'm aware of is Hidden Chest Gaming, in Brierley hill, Birmingham way, but as luck would have it they don't open on my day off (Thursday) . So I'll have to visit them another time...

I stumbled on this a while back. No idea who runs it or how up to date it is but you can use the Filters tab on the right to locate physical shops. It has a couple of shops in my local area that I know to be relatively recent and still trading, so I'd hope it's pretty accurate: https://retro.directory/

There's Gameone in Stoke on Trent (no a million miles from you):

Not sure if they're a bit more console focussed as opposed to our beloved rubber keyed beauty.
