    Hey, thanks for coming to visit Hawaii! We have another second-hand store here called Eco Town, it's also in Honolulu and has a pretty good variety of retro games (and better pricing than Book Off most of the time). Retro Max at the swap meet is also awesome!

    I live in Hawaii amd Bookoff is the bomb; some of the best deals for used blu rays and 4ks, also a decent selection of used games, consoles and collectables. I hope they never go away!! I visit the Pearl Ridge one whenever I’m at that mall.

    Book Off (Japanese owned company) in Hawaii actually started off as a used book store inside the old Shirokiya (another Japanese store) in Ala Moana. From there they established stand-alone locations. The thing they were known for when they first started buying/selling used stuff is they only accepted items in great/really good condition.

    I lived on Oahu for 35 years now and I'm so thankful for stores like Book Off. There is also the Swap Meet which is held at the Aloha Stadium, there is few vendors that sell retro games there. We also have another chain of stores called Eco-Town which sells older games but their selection isn't as big as Book Off. Great video.

    Hey QueenG!!! I Love this simple one stop game store video! A good number of choices You showed also! You picked out a lot of good games on the portable side! I saw that Smart Fortwo at the end of Your video. I had one of those a few years back. Fun little cars! Only 70 horsepower! Not terribly fast on the highway but believe it or not, decently quick in the city! Ok, so anime; I still Love Gundam Wing, Initial D, Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Patlabor, and Ghost in the Shell.. Those are just my favorites. Great video as always Queen!!! 👌I’m already looking forward to the next one! 😁 See You then!! 👍😎

    I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on your past videos. I see that you are a fan of one of my favorite retro arcade games of all time , Donkey Kong. Metal slug is also one of my favorites. Maybe because I can relate to the short characters 😂. All jokes aside, MS is just badass. 🙋‍♀️questions. Are you into sports games ? I play NBA 2K ( my obsession ) , and I'm still trying to master Madden NFL. I don't know about that one. Lol ! I should probably just stick to watching the games. Oh wait , I can't.
