Where Did You Buy Your Games?
Where did you all buy your games when they were sold in its day?
I bought mine at Electronics Boutique and Video Game Exchange (employee discount). I remember Software Boutique, but they were pretty pricey. I don't think they exist anymore.

Funcoland, Babbages, Electronics Boutique, Fleamarkets, Ebay (from 2002+) pretty much in that order to
when i first got into the 3do in 97, babbages and Elec Boutique had sales on alot of the 3do games like buy 2 get 1 free and buy 1 get 1 free type of sales
i would drive to all the Babbages and Electronics Boutiques in my general area and buy all the games i could afford

Hmm...
Thats a good Q. Initially, I pawned a 32X for cash, and bought a 3DO and games, then traded HELL for WAY OF THE WARRIOR (lol), and it went from there. EB, Funcoland, Ebay, MOJ, a few sources in Japan, and others.

btw... I'm back. Thailand was a blast, the store MARIO has become a Dreamcast & Saturn lovers wet dream.

By the time I purchased my 3DO most common stores were trying to liquidate there stock. The only two "stores" I bought games from was EB in East Town Mall (Knoxville TN) and a Wal-Mart near Bristol TN. The games I purchased from EB ranged from $.49 to $3.99 and the games I purchased at Wal-Mart were .50 & .75$ each. However the majority of the games I have owned were purchased as used from a local flea market for an average of 1.00 a piece. At the height of all the trade it was common for me to come home with a garbage bag full of games & packages.
These days tho, it seems like I'll be buying them Online and hopefully (if i can find them) off of individual owners
