    Default Video Game stores (Los Angeles)

    Does anyone know the locations of any large brick and mortar stores that carry classic or import games and systems?
    I already know about Gamestop, EB Games, Gamecrazy, Gamedude, etc.
    I have been looking for a while and haven't had any luck. I live in Palmdale CA. about 50 miles away, so I don't have much time to check, even on the weekends. Thanks in advance.

    Here's a list of game stores that was given to me last year before I traveled to Los Angeles for last year's E3. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the list, though. I only visited a few of the stores, but I don't remember which ones. Some of these stores may have closed since then.

    Game Dragon definitely does not exist anymore.

    Acme was shut down, and A & J Games in Los Angeles and Game World Exchange in Canyon Country are not on that list.

    I have not been to the majority of the central LA stores myself.

    There is also Game Force in Glendale.

    There's also Video Game Geeks in Garden Grove. The owners are both really cool guys, and they keep a pretty decent selection at most times (Christmas usually wipes them out for a week or 2 ).

    Hyper Game Action in Torrance closed down about six months ago. Games 4 Less seems to be headed that way as well as most of the LA and Orange County locations seem to have decreased their overall new stock in recent months and are stocking way less import stuff than they used to.

    Maybe I need to be more specific, I need Turbo Duo games, systems, accessories, Sega CD stuff and imports of the same systems and I can only go there for 6 hours (Including driving time) out of as many months.
