Yay! It's almost here!
Great work Joe; the place is really shaping up to be the best retro store around. Just make sure to have plenty of Genesis/Sega CD/32X stuff in stock and ship to Puerto Rico, and you'll have a customer for life here!
I would love to see some pics with costumers in the shop.
Could someone tell me the info I need to get directions to the store on mapquest? Im sure its in this topic somewhere but its huge.
This is the info that Google map gives, based on the store address:Originally Posted by PDorr3

It's a good look for youOriginally Posted by stonic
I took a handful (literally - I think 5) of pics yesterday in the store.Originally Posted by PDorr3
If Joe gives the A-Ok, I'm happy to post them.
Be warned though, some are blurry, and some are of my almost-5-year-old son and his newest love, Marvel Super Heroes, coin-op.
I'm glad i live in New Jersey and drive by clifton weekly. I'm tired of looking at the ebgames down by me with there limited selection of classic games. I hope i can stop in soon
Can someone make a Hello My Name Is tag to print out and download from this site. This way when we shop at the store we can easily tell who is from the fourms?.
Its a shame 2 members were in that close prox, and didn't even intorduce them selfs to each other.

Good thing I already had the games that you snagged up out of the 32X section...I was the guy standing right next to you and browsing the section as you were grabbing them up. There could have been a throwdowntholly
well, i went to the store today, and i have to say, for the 1st day of a new store, it is very well put together....besides not having prices on everything (i know your working on it) everything is pretty well set up and in place...
i got some good deals on some 32x games that i need and i could have spent a fortune if i really wanted too....
good luck with the store Joe....if your 1st day is any indication to your future, you will do just fine....

ah well...
Made my first visit to the store today. I can say that Joe has done a tremendous job setting up the place. It is nicely organized with games for just about every system available. I made a few purchases. He has some great classic stuff for sale. He also has a tv playing some old Starcade episodes. I will be visiting again soon.
After my visit on Saturday, I'd just like to say that your store is awesome Joe! I am loving the copy of Incredible Crisis my boyfriend and I bought(after some initial frustrations with the first mini-game lol). The CD with the first 50 print issues of DP will keep me busy for quite some time. We'll definitely be back!

I'll stop by if I'm ever in the East Coast for sure!
do you really think joe would object?Originally Posted by NoahsMyBro
I added new pictures today, courtesy of "NoahsMyBro" - see my signature for the link.
I wish I had taken pictures on opening day but I was taking it all in instead. We had a GREAT weekend. Monday was just "OK" - I didn't make much but that's because all the local kids came by to trade stuff in.
I've got cameras all over the place recording store activity so I'll try to grab some stills that show what the place looks like when it's mobbed and not-so mobbed. It really turned out great and has gotten consistently positive responses from both young and old. It's great to finally get to see this thing WORK!
Nice work Joe! I hope to make it to NJ to see the store and to eat some Disco Fries. mmmm disco fries!

Cool store Joe :-)
Glad your living the dream :-)
