Matthew Lillard heads into New York City to visit VideoGamesNewYork, a destination packed with retro favourites and hard-to-find imported games.
A collector’s stop in NYC
The store is presented as one of the city’s lesser-known video game discoveries. Its shelves bring together familiar classic titles and rare imports, giving collectors plenty to explore in one location.
For anyone interested in the history of arcade and console gaming, the visit offers a look at the games, formats and discoveries that continue to make specialist shops valuable. Browse more stories in the RETROCADE Arcade Blog, or compare options in our Arcade Machine Buying Guide.
Why specialist game shops still matter
Rare imports and older releases can be difficult to find through ordinary retail channels. Stores such as VideoGamesNewYork give collectors a physical place to search, compare and revisit games from earlier eras.
If the visit inspires your own dedicated gaming space, explore RETROCADE’s collection of arcade machines, including compact bartop arcade cabinets.
