Arcadia Direct

This is a brilliant little shop which ok is not as cheap as cex most of the time, but the fact that majority of the time they have DVD’s and games that cex don’t more than makes up for it and are generally in better condition as most discs i get from there don’t have a single scratch or finger print!
Considering its only a small shop they have a very large selection to choose from, for example you can get anything from super nintendo, and dreamcast to PS3 and XBOX 360 games and video cassettes to DVDs.
Its deffinatly worth a look if you want to buy a box set as they are quite often fairly cheap.
The service is very friendly and they know what they are doing I would recomend anyone to go in and have a look.

It’s funny how you can live somewhere for ages and still make joyous discoveries, such as this. I came in here a while ago (having some how missed it!) and was delighted to see a shop dedicated to retro gaming. Although as I entered the front of the store had a few bare shelves, next to the DVDs that were on sale, as you delve further back there are many retro gems to be found.
All kinds of old school games and consoles are on offer here, from Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Mega Drive and many more. I’m always on the look out to find old games and was really chuffed to see they had quite a few of my old favourites in attendance!
All the classics, Golden Eye, Sonic and a range of Disney games to name but a few, were there before my gleaming eyes. They also buy in old stock, which is great news for me as I have a hoard of items that I really can’t see myself playing anymore, so promised the guys I would be back soon with a bag of goodies for them!
One of the best things, other than the old school haven of games, was that they had a whole hoard of Tartan Asia Extreme films on sale too. To any other fans of Tartan, you’ll know this is pretty awesome, since Tartan Asia is sadly no more! I’d strongly advise getting in there and stocking up, if I don’t beat you to it that is…
To conclude: Friendly staff, awesome retro games, Tartan DVDs. That adds up to a win in my book!
