Lately I have been kind of obsessed with old-school games and gaming systems. I blame it on all those awesome beercades that have been popping up everywhere.
Anyway, I recently bought a system so I am busy restocking my collection of classic games. When I travel I always look for game stores which brought me to A&C Games.
Located in Chinatown, I wasn't sure what to expect, but first and foremost- this store is pretty huge. A&C features more than just video games, they have a huge selection of cards and games of that variety too. They sell various shirts and other random merchandise.
They have a wide variety of consoles and games to match. Higher priced games might be found behind the glass counter- Like that Mike Tyson's Punch out. Overall I thought the games were a little pricey, but if I lived here I'm sure i would be buying from them all the time. Average game that I looked at was $19 CAD.
They have a game testing area to make sure your vintage game isn't so vintage it doesn't work, which I think is great.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a cool shop. Glad I checked it out.
