Recently, I went to an orthodontist appoinment(Nyuk nyuk, I still have braces), and I wanted to stop by my classic gaming store, Game Exchange Video Games. My mom said the owners moved away, and they closed down. I wanted to see. We went by, and she was right. The greatest classic gaming store ever...was gone. Sure, it was a dump, and sure, they didn't have any modern games, but they were filled with great games and systems(Jaguar Boxed for 30 bucks), but still, they could kick gamestops ass.

That is quite a loss, I'd agree with you.

There's a store in my city that has about 10 boxed (maybe sealed) Jag games for around $10 each. I never really payed any attention to them, but they've been there for YEARS. Are you looking for any specific titles, because I can check and see what they've got. I always assumed that the Jag's entire library was worthless (both pricewise and playwise) with one notable exception.

i really hope that one game isnt aliens vs predators which was a horrid horrid game.

Tell me about it. So many people went on and on about how great this game was. When I finally played it I was wondering who crapped on my tv screen.

I have little to no interest in the Jag, but the thought of a store having boxed Jaguar games impresses me. There's virtually NOTHING in my town as far as classic games go, though.

Damn man that sucks to hear there are two game xchanges here in sprinfield, and they get all my classic money, yeah they overprice any rpg to death (and they sit on the shelves forever) but they have alot of stuff at reasonable prices. I picked up a master system converter and 6 games for 25.00 and they had a bunch of those bundles. aslo where i found my final fight guy for 5 among others, cheap mags , just a good store imho, if you ever in town here check em out

Yeah that's what I meant. That place had TONS of systems, even an adventurevision, which wasn't for sale.

Now I loved Aliens vs Predators when I played it back in the day, but maybe it has'nt aged well. :o
