    Default Shops w/ Old Gaming stuff in San Francisco, Japan/Chinatown?

    I'm staying in San Francisco for awhile, not far from Japantown and Chinatown. I'd like to know if there are some good shops I should visit in any of the 3 areas where I can get NES, Genesis, Game Gear, Master System, Game Boy, et cetera stuff. The classics. Import consoles and games and obscure stuff would be fantastic. What places should I hit? ..

    Thank you!

    Try using an online directory site and search for video games in/near the city you will be in. That's what I would do if no one here has any direct recommendations.

    Of course all the major chain stores probably won't have what you're lookin for so call up some of the more obscure soundin stuff.

    Unfortunately, googling turned up no used game stores aside from EB..

    Ive got some friends who frequent there alot, I'll ask them and see if any stores might also have games.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    Before you go spending your money all over the world, can you send my overclocked Genesis or $100 back to me? Thanks.

    Heh, my $15 isn't much to spend. I'm not looking for rare hard to find items or prototypes, just a couple cheap titles.
