    Hey peeps,

    I will be spending about 1 week in these two cities, anyone can suggest where can I head to for retro game shopping or the biggest game store I can go and get my gaming fix?

    This will be my first time visiting these two cities, thanks in advance!

    You won't find anything central in London. Best places are probably Retro Game Base in Streatham and M&M Games in Croydon. A friend of a friend opened a shop fairly recently in Tooting called Crazy Thumbs, although I haven't been myself.

    Paris is far better (at least when I've been in the past). The best place to start is the stretch of road between Republique and Oberkampf metro stations. Can't remember specific names, but there's at least 5 retro stores, outdoing London in a single street.
