Went to chinatown today , wanted to visit lovegameshop but it was closed .
While walking ard , spotted this shop which had loads of retro gaming stuff
Asked on prices, but the guy said he was just a repairman n items not avail for sale ?!
Anyway took some pics for remembrance
Visited o conner again .. this time rd the place was open
Shop display n inventory were impressive .. tonnes of boxed consoles n games avail .. more imptly the prices were really eye openers
Take for example
Gameboy classic - 2900 baht - ard $120
Gameboy color - 1900 baht - ard $80
Double dragon 2 nes cart- 1600 baht- ard $64
Atari cart - 500 baht- ard $20
For the boxed consoles they were like ard 15000+ baht ..which is like $600 onwards ?!
Super duper pricey . But showcase wise was very impressive
Went to mbk arcade to have a go at the games .. place was big but variety was limited to dancing, racing n music themed games ..
For cabinet type , only managed to find tekken 7 .. which was the latest in the series !
Paid 30baht n managed to complete the game in 1 sitting . Wasnt tat tough after all
Went to tarad rod fai which translates to "train market" in bkk .. journey to there was kinda hectic - had to take train n take a taxi amidst heavy traffic
At rod fai, while walking ard, spotted this toys shop .. walked in saw tat they had stacks of sega md boxed !!!
Made a quick check..asking price was 1100 baht .. thought i could make a further cut .. subsequently picked up 5 boxed games n 2 boxed consoles.. final price was 2200 baht total.
Thought tat was a great steal 😊
During the dec 15 trip to bkk, dropped by o corner at mbk .
As described on the internet, it was chokeful with retro stuff but the shopfront was really small .. managed to take some pics though
Now with the fc twin in place , able to properly test the nes cartridges !
