So does anyone know in Chicago of a great place (not eb or gamestop) where to purchase games, new and old?

I know of a decent used game shop in Hobart, IN (About an hour East o' the city) Nothin' in the city though

Where's that place in Hobart I'm not to far from there. Also a good place to snatch up some old cheap games is Disc Replay they are located in Naperville and Hobart. I think they more locations though.

Do they carry old games like neo geo and turbografx and maybe the vectrex system?

Disc Replay is also in Joliet and North Riverside Mall

ryosnk

there is a place on Harlem and Montrose on the northside that carries games for all systems that ever existed.

NEO-GEO - Turbo Grafx - Vectrex included!

They can be a little pricey on some items but on others they have some good deals. The last time I was there I was very tempted to buy a sega master system complete plus they had a bunch of games available for it.
Complete with cases and instructions.

They also have many old consoles and games available.

The store is called

VideoGames Etc.
4351 N. Harlem
Norridge, IL 60706

Store hours are 11-9pm Mon-Sat
12-6pm Sun

If you'd like the Phone number PM me and I'll send it you.
I grabbed one of there business cards the last time I was there.

I know there's a Disc Replay in Chicago. There might also be more than one store in the city, too?...

There's a place called Windy City Exchange, it's on Cicero, about two blocks south of Milwaukee. They sell new and used games, imports, systems, and pretty much everything in between. Their prices may be mostly on the high side, but if you don't want to try and outbid other buyer's on eBay, you have a good chance of finding what you are looking for at the store...

I just checkout Disc replay in norridge and downers grove and the prices vary alot. For example I picked up robotron for $2 and the one in downers grove had it for $8. But the one in downers grove had alot of more snes and nes games. :? Also Windy city game exchange is out of business. Also VideoGames Etc. is sweet!

Anyone in Chicago would like to form a Halo 2 clan when it comes out also anyone up for some xbl?

Really? I didn't know that. Well, I didn't go there often. The last time I was there was over 2 years ago...

Any good flea markets in Chicago?

not that I know of . . .

Have you tried searching the Web for Chicago Flee Markets.

I think they do have some on the south side.
I personally never had any luck at a Flee market so I don't really bother with them.

You on Live? Send me a request tag is in the sig

If you know where the Rosemont Horizon, or AlllState Arena as it's called now is, they have a flea market there every Sunday. Although, at this time of year, they may be preparing to stop for the winter.

Swap-o-rama is ok and they have 3 locations. The one I know is at 129th off Crawford rd. aka Pukasi you can see it off I-294. There is another i heard of is In front or around the Tweeter center on Sundays. But check Fridays newspapers, they can tell you more.

Have any of you, had any luck finding games or a good deal in those flea markets?
