Two Retro Game Shops, One Day… and an IKEA Detour

There's nothing quite like hitting two retro game shops in one day — especially when both are packed to the rafters with hidden gems.This week I'm heading to Entertainment World and GameSmart in Birmingham for a double game hunt. Both shops are proper independents with shelves full of retro games, consoles, vinyl, and collectibles — exactly the kind of places that make game hunting worthwhile. I picked up a mix of bits including a loose Mega Drive game, a nostalgic PS1 title, a strategy guide, and a video game soundtrack on vinyl, amongst a few other finds. There was also a quick IKEA detour along the way for some shelves for the workshop.If you enjoy retro gaming, game collecting, and supporting independent game shops, this one's for you.
