Shameless Plug Thread (w/ photos!)

[Ike.]

I know that there are probably only 4 people who post here who live within 3 states of Florida and would ever be able to come here, but I'm really bored at work, so I took some pictures of my workplace and some of the crap we sell.

The store is Games Galore in Jacksonville, Fl. Come visit us, jerk

They're not in any particular order.

These are some displays. People ask how much they are at least twice a day. I hate them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2004.jpg

This is for sale. $175. I love it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2005.jpg

A Jaguar. Everybody laughs at it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2006.jpg

A 3D0. It's also funny.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2008.jpg

Retro-Duos. These things sell like hotcakes. They play SNES and NES games, including imports. They use a standard SNES input so you can use official SNES controllers on them. No input for a light gun, though. :(

A stack of Saturns. Nobody knows what they are.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2001.jpg

A CDX. It's one of Sega's many abortions. It plays Genesis/Megadrive and SegaCD/MegaCD games. It's ####ing beautiful and I want it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2010.jpg

An Atlus game. Not sure why I took a picture of this.

[Ike.]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture2009.jpg

Self explanatory.

unnnghhhh

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1001.jpg

We also have a boxed set of Silver Star Story but it looks like garbage so I didn't photograph it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1002.jpg

Sum ps1

and more

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1004.jpg

SNES. It looks a little bare because that space in the middle is reserved for Mario games. People buy them all the time so they're guaranteed to sell within a day of being put out. I want the Mega Man X set.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1005.jpg

N64.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1008.jpg

Dreamcast ####. There's a set of sealed games in the back that aren't for sale.

[Ike.]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1009.jpg

Import PE2.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1010.jpg

An honest to god copy of Super Noah's Ark 3D. I never thought I would see one.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture1011.jpg

A hilarious gimmick controller for the PS2 RE4.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture001.jpg

Growlanser fans shop here.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture009.jpg

360 stuff.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture007.jpg

NES.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture008.jpg

They're beautiful.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture006.jpg

Duplicate games. Mostly PS2.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture005.jpg

The worst PS2 controller ever conceived.

[Ike.]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture003.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/Picture002.jpg

Again, self explanatory.

I'd have more pictures but I ran out of space on my card. Also I'm lazy as hell

darth vader wants you to chug

[Hamel]

Move to Ohio and I will visit

[Vincent Alexander]

Holy ####. I hate Florida's weather, but I wish I was there right now. I'd drop a #### ton of money just based on what I saw in the pictures.

[Terash Cas]

Annoying stickers on a surface that is nearly impossible to remove without damage? At least you guys have a nice selection of games.

Ah well only places that I know of in Austin that have a large selection of games..
http://www.gameovervideogames.com/
http://www.gamefellasentertainment.com/

I would add Sashimi games but never been there..

[Crabman]

I know what a Saturn is! I almost bought one a couple days ago, but chickened out. I have a strange fetish about that console...must be Daytona USA.

Nice store! Nice score on the CDX....those things are rare as hell.

[Ike.]

I'm buying the CDX and Lunar when I get my next paycheck. I tested it out today and it works flawlessly. It's beautiful.

[slayn]

If I paypaled you monies, would you buy some of that stuff and ship it to me? :)

[RayFoxSith]

Ike, you mother####er why didn't you tell me about this place sooner?!?!?

[Crabman]

I actually found this retro gamestore on the edge of town and they were selling Lunar 2: EBC for $35, but the guy said it was missing a disc...which is weird because EBC is three discs, and there were three discs in there, but I'm not sure if the missing fourth disc was the soundtrack or the "making of" CD or an actual game CD. I didn't get a good look, though :( I'm kinda tempted to go back and check it out.

[Ike.]

Ike, you mother####er why didn't you tell me about this place sooner?!?!?

You didn't ask :(

[cj iwakura]

If I wasn't in South Florida, I would be so there.


Also, your Saturn games, give them to me.

[RayFoxSith]

Ike, you mother####er why didn't you tell me about this place sooner?!?!?

You didn't ask :(

And it's a shame because there won't be another con up there. >.<

[Ike.]

Maybe they'll move it back next year.

[Fuyukaze]

I passed right thru there last november on my way home from North Carolina. Wouldnt have had time (or $$) to buy anything but nice looking stuff all the same.

[Divals]

If I ever move to Jacksonville I'll probably starve to death after buying out half the store... I wish there was a place like that around here.

[Balrog]

I told some of my internet homies that live in Florida. Store looks pretty cool.

[Ike.]

Another long day, so more photos.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3015.jpg

A second-gen Sega CD. It's kinda skanky looking and the door doesn't stay closed unless you physically push the open button back into the closed position. Though, knowing Sega, this may be intentional.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3014.jpg

A first gen Sega CD. Not for sale. :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3008.jpg

We killed Master Chief.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3007.jpg

DS stuff.

Speaking of DS, we occasionally sell replacement parts for some systems. They're generally knock-off brands made in Taiwan or something. The packaging is always hilarious, like this DS replacement shell:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3009.jpg

The back of the package says this, verbatim:

"1.For the various bright colors, you can choose what you like.
2.Make your game console look much newer and more beautiful.
3.Meet your individual seeking."

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3005.jpg

More gimmick controllers. The Street Fighter one is just like the ones they released for SF4, but wired and for the PS2.

[Ike.]

god damn this 10 picture limit

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3004.jpg

We sell player's guides. Some of them are cool, like the following.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3019.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3018.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3017.jpg

Some of them are less cool, like this monstrosity I found.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3010.jpg

I wasn't able to get a decent photo that properly portrays the absolutely bizarre artwork on the cover of this thing because my camera is awful. So here's this blurry thing.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3013.jpg

It's as though they hired an artist, gave him a handful of games and told him to draw from them. Most notable is Trisomy 21 Link on the bottom left corner, who has yellow eyes, no pupils, and is basically just a fat elf. I guess that's how he looked in the game, too, so I can't fault him on that. It also seems to have some kind of hatred for vegetables. We have a tomato getting hit with a baseball bat, a carrot being fired out of a canon, and a lonely onion with stink lines sitting on a cloud in the top left. He's also crying.

Not to mention that dragon. I don't think anything needs to be said about it. Just look at it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3006.jpg

Another gimmick controller that looks awesome but seems like it would be awful to actually play with.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3016.jpg

The first Nintendo Power.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/Picture3003.jpg

We also sell movies :)

[Rednusander]

Ike, I know you had the best intentions with posting this. Even I'll admit, I think a lot of that stuff is totally sweet. I'm with Vince, I'd probably drop some serious $$ there. But unfortunately posts of the "come buy my stuff" nature are not technically allowed, and if we let this one slide, who knows how many other "shameless plug" threads are going to show up.
