Independent game stores in the bay area

[louisg]

Does anyone know of an independent game store in the bay area, or up north (marin or further), import or otherwise? I'd like to find a store which still sells used games for older systems.

there is a pretty good one in Alameda;

They really have some crazy stuff in there.. tons of odd asian bootleg systems as well as an assload of classic games and peripherals. Granted, with the internet being what it is you likely wont find any crazy cheap deals to be had there but for sure they have rare and hard to find items and games that chains dont carry.

Check out this thread about another cell phone shop selling brand new Japanese video game imports + consoles in San Jose, CA:
