I wish I had something like this less than 3 miles away. All I have less than that is a crappy GameStore with an uninterested owner that raises the price 2 times on popular games.
@@retrobloke- I am selling well both in store and online on my website shop. You were actually the first online retro store I bought some items from back in approximately 2010. Items I still have...
Need more stores like this run by actual genuine people so people can buy video games for a decent price instead of being subject to crazy online prices
Crazy thing about today prices of old games... Here is a guy selling a copy of pokemon sapphire in nearly $900. That kind of shite is why nobody try to buy old games.
I totally love that the prices are super reasonable. You dont pay a dumb mark-up "premium" on retro stuff like you would do on ebay or some other places. so if youre just the average joe that want to grab some retro consoles to actually play on them, or even if its just to put it on a shelf - you will be able to do that without leaving with an empty wallet !
That Skyline is beautiful. Imo, 80s/90s Japanese cars are peak design. I love it. After moving here, I was blown away at all the RX7, Supras, and Skylines still on the road. It's awesome. Also that game shop is sick.
My first GameBoy Advance SP was in a KMart display model. I started working there in 2006, and found it in the storage just collecting dust. I bought it for $20, and it took me forever to get it out of the display casing.
Wonderful video Elliot! Thank you for this. I'm not in the UK so I probably won't be seeing that store anytime soon myself, but it's especially because of that that I loved you taking a tour and talking to the owner. Love the enthusiasm of the man, too!
I am going to take mine 😊 I have tried to explain what it was like when I was younger and the look on their faces when they said about buying a game and it would be complete, no updates or dlc also couch multiplayer kids just don't understand.😊
This shop is the definition of "shut up and take my money!" 😁😁😁 Glad you shared it with us Elliot! (Plus the price really look down to earth, kudos to the owner for that!)
Hé Elliot, Because of you I have purchased my first ever GBA! I am now interested in retro games and try to sell old games. I love you’re vids man keep up the good work! Kind regards
I flippin love retro sect and can recommend it to anyone passing by junction 9 on the M5 with time on their hands and an interest in vintage stuff. The time passes so fast there and the prices are good too. And he sells cars... Thanks for featuring this Elliot, it looks like you had fun!
This place is amazing! It has everything I like and am into! Old cars, old tech, old toys, old games.....going here would bring back a flood gate of memories! I also love it's run by a passionate enthusiast that loves all the same stuff I do!
Arghhhhh. No! This should've been a 30 minute video. Fastest 10 minutes I've ever watched. If it wasn't so far away... Gid luck Retro-Sect awesome store.
Such a great shop with a genuine, friendly owner. One of the things that caught my eye is the retro PC games section. That's not something you see very often in retro game stores.
This is a truly great gem of a shop. Found out about this place about a month ago and already can't wait to visit again. Absolutely great guy and a great place!
Ooh, so much 80's nostalgia! Those cars are right up my street, definitely the type I'd have had poster of when I was a kid. I'd love to visit but it's a little too far for me, sadly. But if I'm ever down that way I know where I can go!
My life’s dream is to own a business like this. I figure most of my sales would be online, but I’d have it all open like this for the sake of being sorta like a museum. But I’d use the car area for a multiplayer and/or board game area. Maybe have specific games scheduled for multiplayer tournaments at specific times. It’s be such a great way to enjoy the amazing multiplayer experience that’s completely missing on new consoles.
Bro this place is my dream to visit all the of consoles and games for a good price and a hangout place with games that we can play for free and the owner is nice like what is a more genuine store this is a place I wanna visit brings me back to my childhood
Im a gen z American retro and vintage guy and i own a TPS-L2 Sony Walkman the same model from guardians of the galaxy and I love this ❤ this guy is awesome my kind of guy i would love to hang with
@@GameSpirit1 I had one when I just got my driving license. I could race out all my buddies. Plus, it doesn’t give a shit about a any thresholds on the road. It’s the best car ever made.
Hey Elliot, great video! If you're filming around CRT's again and don't want that flicker effect, you can set the camera's shutter speed to 1/50 or /100 to fix that.
What a breath of fresh air, nice prices and an honest store. I wish more people were like this!
Thank you 😊
That game store looks great 👍 🎮
I wish I had something like this less than 3 miles away. All I have less than that is a crappy GameStore with an uninterested owner that raises the price 2 times on popular games.
I was able to smell the uploader's breath through the thumbnail. 🤢🤢
Seems like a top guy being fair with the prices because hes actually into it himself, that's so rare nowadays, wish his business all the best
Thank you!
@BenStinson1 nice store and very nice cars man :) beautiful skyline that generation is so under appreciated in my opinion
It’s not rare! I’m still collecting, and I did all this thirty years ago. Sorry Ben, but if you’re not selling online too, it’s not gonna last long 😩

If only that place wasn’t half way around the world from me. I’d be there every week.
yeah me too!
I know, where u from men?
Some here
I went there about 6 months ago. It’s truly amazing! One of a kind Retro Game Store. Truly amazing 😻
Just watched your video on it! You picked up some really cool stuff.
@@TheRetroFuture2 Aww thanks mate. Hey, keep up the good work :)
@@TheGebs24 Thank you! You too! :)
For those of you in America, 40,000 pounds is about 20 tons.

"oh and he sells cars"
I’m not a car person but that Nissan Skyline is a god dam beauty!
So this is only about an hour away from me... I think Ben has a new customer on his way!
Lots of nostalgia for this 80/90s kid here
I hope there is a follow up video telling us about how you went home with that GBA display stand. That place is so cool.
I was the first customer there when they opened! Lovely Star Trek II Wrath of Khan LCD game watch.
Thank you Chris, I remember that! 😀👍
Prices are REALLY decent! It's also nice that you made a video about him, let's hope this way his business will able to flourish more! ❤
What an amazing store! Love the passion of the owner!

I've ordered from the store twice - both times I've had great service. Good bloke. Nice to see him getting some publicity.
The M.A.N.T.A force bag in your intro is right up my street. The toys were my childhood ❤
That shop is beyond cool! I would spend an entire weekend in there just looking lol
I would love to take my kids to this store just to show them what gaming culture was like when I was younger.

We need more like this one.
omg ducktales on the gameboy cart?1 this place is a gold mine!
I hope i can visit this place someday. Looks really awesome! Thanks for showing us this awesome Shop
LOVE THIS! Would love to see more videos of retro game store small businesses!
More vids like this, hell it would be cool for you to check back in at this shop sometime down the line!
Hé Elliot,

And he sells cars...
Thanks for featuring this Elliot, it looks like you had fun!
This store is nothing but pure AWESOME!
Feels like a place I could spend time in evreyday 🤩
This place is amazing! It has everything I like and am into! Old cars, old tech, old toys, old games.....going here would bring back a flood gate of memories!
I also love it's run by a passionate enthusiast that loves all the same stuff I do!
Wow, this place looks incredible, we'll have to visit it, its not far from us!
Great store and the shopkeeper is so nice.
Glad to see this shop, it genuinely looks like a cool place to visit as someone who's a nut for the 80's
Arghhhhh. No! This should've been a 30 minute video. Fastest 10 minutes I've ever watched. If it wasn't so far away... Gid luck Retro-Sect awesome store.
Just like when i was a kid. I spent hours playing the games for free in the store with friends. I really miss those days 😊
That is really cool that the kiosks are playable, probably the only store in the world where you can do that
Thanks for finding and sharing this. Less than an hour away - let’s go!
Great find, and what a strange but beautiful collection of cars. A BX, an Alipine, just bizarre. Love it though
This is amazing! I can't believe something like this exists.
awesome looking shop and the game prices were very good. The variety of items was super and nostalgic way to keep retro alive
The fact that they also sell retro cars as well as videogames and electronic stuff is really cool!
Can't believe there was something like this less than an hour away from my house and I had no idea! Definitely somewhere to check out ASAP!
Looks like heaven to me lol Retro Gaming & Awesome 80-90's cars!
Ooo surprise cars! Some cool models, and cool games, I'll have to check it out
Damn if only I lived in the uk I'd buy from him in a heartbeat If he had an online shop I'd def buy from him
I do have online too, but sadly UK only at the mo.
I really enjoyed this video and was a good change of pace.
one of the best game shops ive ever seen. dudes a legend
Elliot this is by far the most enjoyable video that you have done! I find mysekf getting excited for you when watching.
Such a great shop with a genuine, friendly owner. One of the things that caught my eye is the retro PC games section. That's not something you see very often in retro game stores.
what kind of fantasy destination is this, retro gaming and alfa romeo combined. It's too good to be true
This is a truly great gem of a shop. Found out about this place about a month ago and already can't wait to visit again. Absolutely great guy and a great place!
What a genuinely decent guy!! I’m adding this place to my bucket list
Sounds like a wonderful person! That is an amazing collection!
loved this one. happy to see a place like this exist
Ooh, so much 80's nostalgia! Those cars are right up my street, definitely the type I'd have had poster of when I was a kid. I'd love to visit but it's a little too far for me, sadly. But if I'm ever down that way I know where I can go!
That was an awesome vlog. Ty for showing it. From a fan in Canada, Terry Wolf.

wish I was closer to this place 👀
Oh god 3 hours away from me on the train but I might have to make the journey , loved this video so much , this shop is a treasure chest ❤
This store looks amazing! The cars just top it off, definitely making a visit
This is all I remember from the gamestore when I was 13 and so mmuch more. I kinda wanna visit
Great Video and Excellent music!
If I lived in that area I would be rolling into that place all the time and hanging out. Looks like such a fun place to chill.
So glad i stumbled across this video. I had a look on there website and i will be purchasing some games for sure😊
This is amazing. I have to visit this when I’ll visit the UK!
that was awesome, probably the best store showing I've ever seen
Okay this is absolutely amazing! And a skyline too?! 😍😍😍
What a SICK store, if I ever go to the UK, I know where I'm gettin my next SEXY CASIO TIMEPIECE!!
Thanks for this, I bought about ten gameboy games yesterday from the website and Ben was super helpful.
Bro this place is my dream to visit all the of consoles and games for a good price and a hangout place with games that we can play for free and the owner is nice like what is a more genuine store this is a place I wanna visit brings me back to my childhood
The owner/seller seems just as rare as some of the stuff he’s selling!
That entire STORE is a holy grail. Omg. I would kill to spend some time there.
That's not a Shop that's not a Showroom that's a dream of a man cave!
6:54 omg the GBA store kiosk!!! :)
We need stores like these in the U.S
It’s called GameStop.
@@Nitemerican fuck no. Corporate bullshit small stores with overpriced junk.
@@Nitemericanno they modern games nothing too special
You don't have any independent used game stores?
@Tonysopranoyafinook I was being a smartass. Lol
yo Tewkesbury representation
A friend told me about this place recently, 10mi-ish away from me, hoping to check it out eventually
that Nissan Skyline is a beauty, cool cars and video games coming together in one place is rad as hell
I think he forgot to say just where the shop actually is. I believe it's near Tewkesbury, which is near the Cheltenham/Gloucester part of the UK
The shop's website is in the video description
It is! Google Retro Sect and all the details are on the website 😊
Excellent video, as always, Elliot. 💫
the prices are ACTUALLY reasonable! Wish my retro shop was like this...
Im a gen z American retro and vintage guy and i own a TPS-L2 Sony Walkman the same model from guardians of the galaxy and I love this ❤ this guy is awesome my kind of guy i would love to hang with
It's good that he isn't price gouging hardcore like other people are doing. So much nice stuff in there.
Heaven. I would chill at those cars. Love the BX
I'm french and my uncle had a Citroën BX, my 7yo self thought it has to be the ugliest car ever made 😆
@@GameSpirit1 I had one when I just got my driving license. I could race out all my buddies. Plus, it doesn’t give a shit about a any thresholds on the road. It’s the best car ever made.
That 928 is one of my holy grails.
What an incredible shop!
Well done Eliot. For once you've shown a destination worth regularly visiting.
Very good to hear that he prices based on sold auctions instead of maximum buy it now prices
Keeps my jaw dropping at every corner of the shop, is so awesome and the prices seems legit to me... What a pity it is not in Spain 🤓
Not even 3 mins in and have to get some new underwear got sticky fast. Ben is doing the lords work.
Lovely video, thank you!
Damn, this dude living the dream. Seems like a really good place as well.
What a nice and honest Shop owner! Sadly to far away from me.
Hey Elliot, great video! If you're filming around CRT's again and don't want that flicker effect, you can set the camera's shutter speed to 1/50 or /100 to fix that.
That car room is a dream
This is 90 miles from me. Time to visit Tewkesbury!
Me: This shop is sick!
Then Elliot at like 4:30: This shop is sick.
I've got to go to this store when I visit the UK.
