Another great surprise for me today was the suggestion of two retro game shops that I was not aware of.
They are, Retro Mania in Gateshead (north east), and The Game Pad in Scarborough, Yorkshire.
The Game Pad looks like a real hidden gem of a place, and it looks like I will have to be on my travels again and go take a visit. In the meantime, you can find their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/TheGamePadScarborough/
And Retro Mania looks like it is a hybrid of selling retro games, and a hub for gamers. And another reason to travel up to the north east. You can find the Retro Mania Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/RetroManiaNCL/
As always, I am always happy when I am adding new retro stores to the list. Long may it continue.
