Will find a good video tour and put it up when I can, but I went to "Doorway to Dorkness" today for the first time, which is a retro and gaming place in Doncaster. And despite having seen loads of photos and vids about it, I honestly couldn't believe how good it was.
Absolutely stacked with incredible and interesting stuff (really well priced too). Really big store and has an entire section for figures, toys etc too.
Also have "Super Retro Video Games" right near me in Woodseats in Sheffield and then Arcade Club in Leeds that I have only been to once, but that my kid always asks when we are going back.
What are the good physical stores or spaces like that near everyone else?
Will have a full read through all of this at some stage, but this weekend we have reached the glorious stage where you can play boardgames with our 8 year old and not have the experience revolving around how she will react if she doesn't win!
She has become obsessed with Sushi Go! for example. And then we have been playing another game called Cobra Paw which is bascially Dice based Snap, again been a total blast.
Think tomorrow I am going to chance trying to teach her to play Summoner Wars, which me and my missus both love but haven't played for years.
There are some physical copies being produced too by a company I can't currently remember the name of.
It's great to be such a help to everyone with my input.
Yeah it's weird I never even tried to play it. I think this copy might have been directly bought by my missus too. We both loved Phantom Hourglass and I am sure she saw this in GamesTM and wanted it, so I think I never played it as was waiting for her to finish it and then just never got to it. With my kids DS kick she wanted to look through all the games we had and ended up finding this in it's actual case. Just off to the 4th temple. I celebrated our return form Bridlington by getting a massive migraine, so not had a chance to unpack my DSi and carry on today.
Right before setting off I found a copy of Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks and I ended up bringing this and it's become my Holiday game, as it's one of the few Zelda titles I havent played. Not been in the caravan much as it's been glorious weather, but what I have played I have really enjoyed. It's very odd but charming for that.
I found driving the little train about oddly satisfying.
