They hold monthly tourneys there for various games but it is mostly ddr, initial D and if there are enought players... VOOT. Anyways its to bad that nobody gets together.. i have alot to offer in terms of trade... ranging from the odessey all the way up to the new 4 swords on gamecube. And id even venture out to meet people... I mean even a trade event could be good... start out small and work into other things. Build some interest with people and see where it goes. Ill check on the boards later. Night guys

wizkid007 said:And to answer the question about mid ninties games... i doubt it.
GoSpits said:Does Pacific Mall carry anything older than, say, mid-nineties?
Should I flat-out avoid Dragon Centre then?
Neo Bomber Man said:A couple years ago my friend bought a LaserActive player there but otherwise basically no. All CD stuff. CD, GD, DVD.
Same thing over at Market Village which used to have a very good gamestore which has now modernized.
The Dragon Centre gamestore still had some old stuff until recently. They remodeled a year or so ago and well, if they have anything fancy you just got lucky. They no longer have that kind of stuff merely lying around. They probably still have some funky joysticks but not all the old amazing hardware & software like before. They even used to have homecarts sitting in the window years ago.
Some of the old MicroPlays still have old games lying about, much like this one independent game store I found somewhere on Queen W between Yonge and... um.. Spadina?
Anyhow not a huge amount left.
omnedon said:Two video game swap meets have been organized and occured in the Ontario area by Tokengamer from here http://www.cgcc.ca/forum/ , and he's working on another right now. I know for a fact at least one forum member from there will be bringing his modded Neo to show there (but not to sell). I know this beacuse I'm modding it up for him.
It's NOT a neo specific get together, but a group of area gamers getting together may be a good first step to building a local Neo scene.
Some cgcc member's post here too (like myself), Maxlords, Nexwave, INTVGene and more. I know for a fact those members (and some more) own AES or MVS setups. Plug into that community, and you might be able to make steps towards what you are after.
FYI
