It’s weird where I usually find independent used game stores. Usually they’re on the decrepit main drag of a small town. The best one I’ve been to being in Green Bay when I was stuck there for a summer.
There’s only one that I know of in any metro area I’ve lived, and it’s at a half deserted upscale mall in Minneapolis. I usually pick up some obscure super Nintendo game while there (last time it was Flashpoint), but this time I found myself digging through the loosie disks that at the counter. Because I was buying some normal priced games, the girl working there offered the discs to me for a dollar.
With nothing to lose I picked up anything that even sparked the slightest interest. I bought Onimusha, Rise of the Dragon on Sega CD (even though I’ve never owned a Sega CD), and a PS2 disc called Namco Trans | Mission (V 1.3). Is it a racing game, a rave inspired tech demo, or just a collect of Namco has-beens? A quick google search probably could have told me, but its not often that I have a chance at a total mystery.
