Microplay might have some older carts but try some online ads You'll get a better deal if you buy from a private sale. Even asking someone here if they have a SNES for sale might get you a good deal.

Years ago, Flea Markets used to have at least one booth full of retro games/consoles. I'm thinking of Dixie Mall in Mississauga, not sure where you live. The flea market was only open on the weekends though.

There is a place in Richmond Hill with tons of stuff called Gameworks:

I seem to recall that GameCentre (in a small mall off Yonge, just south of Bloor) had a selection of older stuff as well.

There's also A&C's Sweet Variety on Spadina a couple blocks south of Bloor.

They don't look like anything from the street, but the place is packed with older game stuff, a lot of it quite rare.

Prices are a little on the high side, though.
