    Love RetroGames on the berlin turnpike, been going there almost 10 years now. I like the gamexchange in wallingford, great DVD and Bluray selection with frequent buy 2 get 1 deals got a lot of unique sets from there. Staff at both places is very chill, I always prefer to buy disc based media from both because they clean EVERY disc they sell and its like buying new, never had an issue. M+J is more like some guys hangout spot who HAPPENS to sell stuff sometimes. They have a lot of wrestling stuff if anyones into that. Last time I was there they were just chilling watching wrestling shows. They could do better if they really wanted to but honestly its like more like a small boys club.

      I think the answer is yes, but there’s definitely some grey area to that answer. At least they mark the repros clearly, some do not.

  • @AGwolf2097

    I'll have to check these places out, I hit RGP semi regularly (theyve also got one down in milford), and a couple of the Game Xchange locations (wtby and hamden). I didn't realize stateline had a location down in state, i vaguely remember a game store on 57 in south central mass between southwick and agawam that i /thought/ used to be called Stateline but they had moved to the holyoak mall, which may very well have been the one on the little pamphlet you had. I'm impressed by their amount of boxed games, and that battle of olympus looks immaculate. I'll pick the video back up later, I'm not a dyed in the wool NES fan but it's always nice to see people just doing their thing and sharing so people can come along for the ride.

    Hi. With this RetroUSB AVS gaming console, would I be able to play games in full screen via my Lenovo Legion 31.5" monitor?

    • @PyyrusGaming
      @PyyrusGaming 2 дні тому

      You should be able to as long as it has an HDMI input. It puts out a standard 4:3 ratio image so you’ll likely have black bars on the side, but it should work.

    • @AzuraFire22
      @AzuraFire22 2 дні тому

      Thanks for that. I had to check on that before buying it. The one thing I hate the most are the black bars on the side. I recently bought the Analogue Super NT and the Analogue Mega SG on eBay and was very happy to find advanced video options when it comes to enabling full screen gameplay that doesn't cut into the subtitles at the bottom of the screen when playing RPG games. I love it when the screen is stretched and everything appears larger. 😊

    • @PyyrusGaming
      @PyyrusGaming 2 дні тому

      I’ll check it tomorrow and see if theere’s an option for 16:9

    • @PyyrusGaming
      @PyyrusGaming День тому

      So I checked and it CAN be full screen on 16:9. You change the pixel aspect in the video menu and it will fill out the screen. Glad I checked!

    • @AzuraFire22
      @AzuraFire22 День тому

      That was a huge sigh of relief that you should suddenly mention that. I already paid for it two hours ago. Ha-ha. I wasn't expecting that you would get back to me. From past experience, whenever people via UA-cam tell me that they will get back to me with a follow up, it usually means they have politely given me the flick. Thanks for your time. Thank you for that additional information, I really appreciate it. And thanks for that great video review. It really helped in convincing me why I should buy it. I can now finally feel rest assured that what I will be receiving will be to my liking. Wishing you a happy Christmas. Take care. 🙂
