Here are a couple more that I've dealt with:

Atari2600.com
https://www.atari2600.com/cgi-bin/cp/cp-app.cgi?pg=store&sub_pg=splash

Game-Lord
http://game-lord.com/

[Sniderman]

Collectors Cards and Games
http://www.collectorscardsandgames.com/games.htm

I have ordered from them several times in the past and have NEVER been disappointed. Great service, good prices, good selection. Write first before ordering and he'll double check that it's in stock, tested, and working. I've ordered Colecovisions, Sega Genesis/Sega CD systems, and even a box of 75 misc. common 2600 carts for a project. Can't recommend highly enough.

[evilmess]

I'll add Sega-Parts.com
http://www.sega-parts.com/

I haven't dealt with them so I can't say one way or another how they are to deal with. I see them on eBay once in awhile and they have a good list of software and hardware for many Sega platforms.

[nothingisttrue]

www.estarland.com kick ass site got double dragon 1 for sega genesis for 6 dollars complete :)
www.videogameimports.com kinda pricey but alot of decent rare megadrive stuff
www.robwebb.clara.co.uk/shop/ small site selling cartridge copiers / rom dumpers and odd famicom pirate carts etc
www.usedgames.com nice selction of various used games
www.mega-games-store.com pretty good and cheap picked up strider,space harrier 2,faery tale adventure complete from there good quick service good quality games.
theres also goat store i forgot the link its on dp already under links

[NintendoMan]

I'll add Sega-Parts.com
http://www.sega-parts.com/

I haven't dealt with them so I can't say one way or another how they are to deal with. I see them on eBay once in awhile and they have a good list of software and hardware for many Sega platforms.

I have dealed with them about 10 or so times, and everything was perfectly smooth every time!

[nesman85]

i've never ordered from them, but here's one that i came across:
http://www.warpzonevideogames.com

[nothingisttrue]

i just emailed sega parts for the hell of it and asked if they repaired sg-1000's to see what they'd say LOL

[nothingisttrue]

awesome post.:) through the sites linked i found m.u.s.h.a loose and joshua battle of jericho loose for genesis and i only had to spend 30 dollars. :-P

[§ Gideon §]

Game Farmer
http://www.gamefarmer.com/

[Querjek]

www.ncsx.com

www.lik-sang.com

Yes, I know that they are mostly importers, but they both have nice selcltions of classic games at decent prices.

[Ed Oscuro]

Those sites are very nice :)

www.ncsx.com for me, and of course
nfg.2y.net/sales/

[PackratVG]

Here's several sites that I've dealt with:

www.4jays.com
www.atariguide.com
www.packratvg.com (us 8-) )

Best,
Jarett Waite
Owner
Packrat Video Games
www.packratvg.com

[slip81]

bidiots.com is small, but hopefully will grow with time
www.bidiots.com

[oesiii]

I had a good experience at:

www.vintagefunworld.com

big selection.

[nothingisttrue]

goat store http://www.goatstore.com/

[nothingisttrue]

goat store http://www.goatstore.com/

[Sniderman]

Might I recommend goat store? http://www.goatstore.com/





;) LOL

[nothingisttrue]

thats one of the first ones i said then it didnt get posted at the top so i posted it again i dont know why it double posted gave me a 505 error or something so i hit back retyped it and hit submitt

[Ed Oscuro]

I totally disagree with the inclusion of 4 Jays...I bought two SMS games from them, $25 each (commons, mind, one was Shinobi), and for my money, what did I get? Dog-eared manuals with writing in the back and water damage on the inserts.

I highly reccomend you look elsewhere based off that experience. If nothing else, their pricing is quite uncompetitive (especially when one considers that these games can be found on eBay for much less).

[Michael Thomasson]

I BOLDLY recommend Good Deal Games :-)
http://www.GoodDealGames.com

[Sniderman]

I BOLDLY recommend Good Deal Games :-)
http://www.GoodDealGames.comD'oh! :embarrassed: So do I! Mike runs a tight ship with great prices and homebrews and never-before-seen games too! Thumbs up from Snidey!

[gamergary]

I also recommend http://www.collectorscardsandgames.com/games.htm

Went there in person to get my top loader.

[icbrkr]

www.epochgames.com

:D

[Vroomfunkel]

For the less US inclined collectors, I recommend :

http://www.retro-games.co.uk/

Well designed site, if a little pricey. Some good prices to be found though.

http://www.retro-fish.com/new_site/

A very snazzy site, although they seem to have trouble with their pictures. Often to be found selling on ebay ... with broken picture links!

http://www.retrogear.co.uk/

Somewhat sparse, but good prices.

http://www.consolepassion.co.uk/

Excellent site, run by a supremely helpful guy. Prices can seem a little high, but the items are guaranteed to be in first class condition! And there are some good steals! Also offers a mod service ...

http://www.telegames.co.uk

Well .. I suppose I have to mention them. But my opinion is that they suck ass. Nearly everything is overpriced, horrendously. I have heard bad stories about the condition of their goods. And I have had no response whatsoever to several email enquiries about items they have listed on their site. Don't say I didn't warn you ...

[LiquidPolicenaut]

pretty good site listings! Ive also recently tried mailorderjapan.com, but they seem iffy. They SAY they'll get back to you in 24-48 hours, but ive heard nothing from them. Hmmmmmm......dammit, why can't one of these sites have my Wondermega??!!! one site did, but he sold it already :( (and i speak of the original Wondermega, not the crappy Wondermega 2/X'eye one). *sigh* Oh well....

[Parodius]

www.playasia.com

www.yesasia.com Got a NEW Tales of Symphonia LE GC from them for $199 shipped!!! Recently pre-ordered the uncut Japanese version of Kill Bill from them.

http://www.yamatoku.jp/game/ Excellent ebayer. Have also ordered from their store a few times.

www.ravengames.co.uk Pricey, but has occassional obscurities and good deals. Some cool gaming shirts too.

[redcurrie]

collectorscardsandgames.com is great as is w3ace.com

[robotriot]

http://www.amigamicro.com

For all your Amiga needs :)

[digitalpress]

I will add these recent recommendations, as well as http://store.videogames999.com/ recommended recently by Evil E :)

[classic gamer]

I'll add Sega-Parts.com
http://www.sega-parts.com/

I haven't dealt with them so I can't say one way or another how they are to deal with. I see them on eBay once in awhile and they have a good list of software and hardware for many Sega platforms.

I have purchased from them a number of times and have had no problem. They used to have great items but since they are the official liquidator for Sega they have exhausted their supply of some items.

CDX brand new in the box $100. Missed out on that one. Mentioned it to my wife for Christmas a couple years ago but she didn't get the hint until it was too late.

[NeoVenom]

I sent an order form to the e-mail add that 4jays.com said to place the order. How long does it usually take for the e-mail they said they were gonna send to be sent? (Hope that made sense. LOL)

[BloodshedPlague]

I'm gonna be a d-bag and support my store and say http://www.slackerscdsandgames.com

Sometimes we have some really good stuff. I'm gonna get a copy of Shining Force III soon.

[Dreamscape]

I recomend

www.gamechoiceclub.com

[skoldpadda]

bidiots.com is small, but hopefully will grow with time
www.bidiots.com

Cool! So this is where I can find reproductions of all of those atarisoft prototypes...

or is there someplace cheaper?

[digitalpress]

It's been awhile since I've added anything to this immense list, but I've got one... J2 Games. See site listing in first post of this thread.

[NeoVenom]

J2 games is a pretty good website. :D

[tritium]

I'm surprised you guys don't list Videogamedepot.com I used to buy tons from them. I prefer collectorscardsandgames though, because they answer questions much faster.

-Tritium

[NeoVenom]

Awww....J2games only accepts creditcards....no checks! :grrr:

[Evangelion-01]

wow, great post :)

[Virtualboy]

yes thnx for the help

[Virtualboy]

www.japangamestock.com anyone?

I can't believe no one has recomended this? x_x :hmm:

[Sylentwulf]

Wow, must have missed this thread long ago ;)

http://www.electricquarter.com

[phreak97]

NFG Sales has closed down because the owner moved here to australia.

without realizing this one existed, i started another topic like this one, i think there are a few stores there which arent on the list here, but i dont have time to sort them right now-

[8bitnes]

Awww....J2games only accepts creditcards....no checks! :grrr:

J2games is on DP occassionally, I'd recommend sending him a PM and see if he'd take a check.

[devilman]

Am I allowed to suggest my own site, www.consolemad.com? Still needs a bit of work, but I've got over 1800+ items available at the moment so not doing too badly and there aren't enough UK sites around for my liking. :)

[dwaldman1999]

Since people are adding their own webistes I am going to add mine as well. www.angelfire.com/games6/davidsclassicgames. I have lots of nintendo, sega and atari games many with boxes and manuals. I also have lots of lose nintendo games that I recently bought from ebay, which I have not updated yet

[mezrabad]

Toys n Joys
http://www.toysnjoys.com/

lots of imports. great customer service. My Keyboardmania came with a keyboard but no game but I didn't find out for 8 months because it was at my parents house. When I found out, I called them and they sent me out a copy immediately.

Anyway, I highly recommend them and wish I had more money to buy imports lately. :)
