I've been trying to find a fair bit of eclectic stuff, and I haven't found any place in Toronto that has stuff on my list. I've checked out:

A&C Games
Game Center (both locations)
Hi Tech Video Games
Gamerama
Video Games Plus
Game Shack

And none of them have enough to put even a small dent in my list. Here's an example of the stuff I'm looking for:

Boxed GB games (and Advance). I'm trying to find all the Pokemon Games, for example, and all the Zelda games for the GBC. Don't mind paying an arm and a leg if it's in good condition, but I haven't found anywhere. Also looking for Advance games in general.

Gamecube Accessories. I've managed to locate a broadband adapter, two copies of Phantasy Star Online 1+2, Component Cables, and more, but my friends haven't been as lucky. More items is always better.

Old PS1 Games. Gamerama and Game Center have some stuff, but I'm looking for a few titles in particular, and everyone is coming up empty. I really don't want to go to eBay for Klonoa 1 >_>.

Boxed SNES games. A&C games has some stuff, but they're lacking A Link to the Past. Looking for lots more though.

So yeah. Anyone have a local hangout that might have any of this stuff? I'm willing to travel aproximately 50km from the downtown core, so that should cover up to Newmarket, Oakville, and Ajax.

The thing you have to understand that most of these stores are supplied by trade-ins. A&C Games, and Game Centre will both do 'special orders' for you in many cases, but you're better off not paying the premium and just searching online.

CAG offers a good trading section, craigslist will occasionally turn up a find here and there. The much hate eBay (me included) is probably still your best bet for specifics.

Good luck in your hunt.
