drohne said:i moved out of new york several years ago, but you might want to try multimedia 1.0 on st. marks place in the village. iirc you're in japan, so imports won't be all that interesting, but they used to have some neat classic stuff. game express is good too, yeah.

Huh, i didn't think anyone from here been to Game World, i used to be a regular til i moved up north. Went i visit i have to go see them, i wonder if Jose still works there...that man has been trying to leave for a while...lol FGW for life i guess.Wellington said:YES. That is such a fucking great store. It's the only one I recommend in the city to be honest.
Actually, there's gamequest on 89th and 3rd. I fucking hate the chain stores, but my fave is eb at 83rd and 3rd. My friend jeanette works there. Say wassup to her.
Prospero said:The best non-chain store in Manhattan I've found is, IIRC, called Game Express--it's just east of Penn Station on 33rd. An unholy selection of console stuff, including PS1/PS2 things that are long out of print, but which they still seem to have copies of (at slightly less than full price, still sealed) for some reason. I usually end up spending $100+ when I set foot in there.

Game Express: Awesome selection of older titles at generally good prices. Sales people are okay.
Multimedia at St. Marks: Overpriced shit, fuck wad employees. Avoid.
J&L: Large selection of imports and certain older system. Everything is overpriced. Only good for window shopping, or for that really hard to find PC Engine Super CD title.
EVO: Not as good a selection as J&L, but much better prices. Their employees aren't total idiots like J&L. Your best Chinatown bet.
Circuit City's and Best Buy's: Often have great deals. A necessary stop at lest once a week.
... my fave game store was in the downtown wall street area, but closed down a few years ago after "you know what" happened.
Various EB's and Gamestops all over the city: Most have total idiots who work in them. You'd swear that they know nothing about video games. The worst one IMHO is the Gamestop on Astor and Broadway. It's entirely manned by extremely bitter ex employees of smaller independent game stores that were run out of business by, you guessed it, Gamestop.
