Retro Funk - The Local Gamer Store!

I recently bought my husband a game he loved playing. It is called Dino Crisis. It is old. Made by Capcom back in the 90's, I think? Very hard to find. Anyhow... The disc came, and he was so excited to play it. But then his old Play Station decided it wasn't going to read the disc! Talk about wanting to pull my hair out. This is the second old console to give out on us for one reason or another, right after we bought a game for it. We expect this behavior from the newer Xbox versions. But older consoles were built to last. So when they hit their expiration date, it is heartbreaking! 

My husband wasn't wanting to give up easily though. This is definitely one of the things I love about this guy! He fiddled with it and tried other discs. What we came to see is that the PS console still works. It is just the reader that isn't functioning properly. Hmm... what to do! He got online to see what types of game stores were around us. 

That is how we found out about Retro Funk! This store is still new here in Midland. Opening in February of this year, they have a variety of older games, collectibles, and even consoles! They also hold raffles and tournaments that are fun. 

But the best news we had? They can order parts and repair the console for us! Base fee is $50. Then it just depends on what parts are required and what kind of work has to be done that the price may increase. But isn't that better than having to hunt down another retro gaming console?? 

My husband says, "There's no junk at Retro Funk!" I do concur. And we are not the only ones. Even this Canadian was there recently, praising their store and inventory! I had to share his video because it really paints a better picture of what they have to offer. This place is going to be somewhere that my sons and husband, in particular, will want to visit when they can. So if you ever come out and are looking to go old school in your gaming, this is the place to see!
