Hey, I was just wondering if somebody could help me out. Tomorrow I'll be in
good ol' NYC and I was wondering if anybody knew the addresses (or approximate
locations) of any video game import stores in the area. I'm especially
interested in any stores near Chinatown Fair, because I'm definitely gonna stop
by sometime during the day. My friend always tells me about this one store
that's "right near there" where they sell Dreamcasts for $175. But I went there
and couldn't find it! Can anybody please help me? I'm leaving at like 10 a.m.
tomorrow morning and I'd hate to waste the trip.

Man, I haven't been to the game shops in China Town in years. There are two that I
recall in a small Chinese mall. I think they're on Carol Street or something like
that. The mall is mostly underground and they're easily missed. Not even sure if
they're still there. There's a Game Express across the Street from MSG and a few
places (KB, EB) you can get games in the Manhattan Mall. The import stores were
cheaper than Game Express though, and they usually skipped the sales tax. I seem
to remember Penguin in one of the names. Sorry I can recall anymore for you. I'm
sure there are other's than can give you better info. I think there are a few
GPOWers than may be able to help you.

Go to Elizabeth Street's Elizabeth Street Center and go down the stairs. There
you'll find Game Shock, Penguin Village, and J&L Games which also has a store
in Elmhurst, Queens, NY

Don't worry, you get used to it. Just keep playing with a lot of dialers, and
eventually you will get up to speed and start feeling the rhythm. Too bad, no
gief on that thing..

as a result, we discovered it!
This is the way!"
