I may head up with my parents to Minneapolis sometime next month. I was curious if there were any good places to find games up there? When I posted a thread about Kansas City a few years ago I learned about Vintage Stock and Half Price Books. Any of those types of stores up there? Any little known stores with good stuff?

There is a half price books store on the saint paul side of things maybe on Cleveland Ave or right off it (I only get to the cities to visit so sorry I don't know exact locations).

Discland stocks used games for every system, though a lot of prices aren't great they are worth checking out, it's located on the south side of minneapolis I believe on 98th or nearby.

There is a place in the roseville mall (Rosedale Center is the name of the mall) called Games N Go that carried new and used games for all systems(finally picked up a copy of road avenger on the cheap from them). Also in the same mall is a japanese import store with lots of cool stuff (Picked up a Domo-Kun coin bank last time I was there).

Also I had real good luck with the Goodwill in maplegrove when I was there last, picking up a couple good n64 games, space invaders plug and play and some toy story 2 pack dvd that I turned around and made $20 from selling.

I would be interested in knowing of some others for the next time I get up to the area.
