    As a York local I’ve visited sore thumbs hundreds of times, it’s a great little shop, Lee and Liam have so much gaming knowledge. I’ve recorded a couple of times in there and I must admit you were lucky it wasn’t busy. It’s a nightmare with the shop been so small. Great video

    According to some retro store owners, the shoplifting rate in such stores is very high, which explains the sometimes higher prices compared to online retail. Sometimes they even become victims of large-scale nighttime robberies in which the entire stock gets stolen and some rare games are just lost forever 😪

    I live 30 minutes from York and never knew that this shop even existed! I'm going now sat. Gemma you visit a ton of shops, you should do a video of all the shops you've been to and where they are in one video. Like a compilation if you like. Do wonders for the shops and the retro scene. I'm always looking for shops to visit. Great video, thanks Gemma

      Yep, that's why I thought it might be a good idea if you did a video on the shops on a map type thing with a little footage. I discovered James shop in Doncaster because I'd watched your video. I'm now a regular there, love the place. Finding shops is the hard part

    California Games is one of it's own kind, it caught me by surprise when I played it for the Sega Genesis how fun it was, winning felt rewarding cause it was a challegning game, great Gen-X memories, the colors and graphics were also pleasing for the time period, it really made us East Coast kids want to head out to the West Coast for the beach life. OMG and Zombies ate my Neighbors is a gem I love that game and pray one day someone remakes it
