Visiting Bookmans with TheEMUreview Jason Heine

[Shizzzzo]

like children touch everything yess do it

[Caztro72]

Very nice, but where was the TurboGrafx-16 section?!!

[branbranx2]

Epic game store

[swiftcirrus]

And the award for most times the word "classic" was said in a youtube, goes to you two lol

[roolrr22]

am i the only one who thinks that that james bond game sucked. I didn't like it a bit

[SuperMangaBoy]

AWESOME place.

[svr73]

omg looks like only in the USA will anyone find stores like this that carry so many retro games. our gametraders in australia aint nothing compared to this place, classics in kelso and many others in the states. another reminder to save up my money and get back over there

[depletable]

I'd love to see those retro games hung up like they used to be. That's bad ass. In most stores they're collected without cases in a fuckin' bin of sorts - no respect

[remixnick]

classic classic classic classic classic

[RetroGamers12]

i want catz 2...... lol

[Caztro72]

@RetroGamers12 LOL! I saw that on the shelf too!!

[darkinertia2]

lol you do know they still sell starcraft in walmarts nib right?

[PoweroftheForce2]

very cool games

[hockeyplaya131]

SO MANY GAMES! SO MANY GAMES!!!

I CAN FAP TO THIS!

[D00mM4r1n3]

The audio on this video is too loud.

[TheMachinimanator]

Bookmans used to have cool games but then you reviews it and they no longer: Hold games, call when they get something, have anything good.

[DumbandDumber94]

I have nothing like that around here

[rocelko]

nice demostration, i whish it could be a place like that where i live, the only videogames i can get it's from Office Depot at high prices and that's pretty fukd up T_T

[6harvard]

the iner nerd in me is yelling fuck yeah the out nerd is jizzzing in his pants haha

[zhen86]

ilife? For Macs that a game!

[TheMachinimanator]

I just went to that bookmans lol I bought a metroid prime 2 strategy guide and mario land 2, this is arizona exclusive

[squirralicious]

All I can say is, I envy you Gamester D:

[bemoga123]

Is there one IN California?

[MyPooplover]

wheres is the bookman store.

[flamesonDVD]

I so wanna be there!! It would be easier than searching around all the thrift stores around my state... then again, I'll just make do with what I got for now...

[MrVOMarvel]

you live in phoniex? i live near phoniex too

[redknight802]

i went there and got some games as well

[UberLifeTroll]

This guy is a geek and a dork. Not a nerd.

[ultramegachicken5]

Just the amazing selection in these stores makes my eyes orgasm.

:D

[aaronfowlowmusic]

THAT is MY type of store. I would be in there for hours and hours.

[lunar52]

I so wish there was a Bookmans or a DigiPress up here in Canada.

[RandomTask3000]

There's a place a lot like this in Chicago called People Play Games. They have freaking TurboGrafx, they have a complete Vectrex, Atari Games for dirt cheap, 3DO, Sega CD, 32X, fairchild, everything. It's not bad considering it's just a little Belmont corner shop.

[TomSawyer612]

Damn $70 for typing of the dead, i got that for $5 not too long ago.

[TheRagingGamerTV]

did you guys actually get anything there? lol

[ZeroKenshin]

a dreamcast for 35 bucks... that is .... DAYUM!

[pokestory1]

@ZeroKenshin i got mine for 15, yeah that is steep

my friend got a sega sports edition in box for 20

[supersaiyancurt28]

[TravisTuchdown]

[sonick808]

bookman's rules. I think i'll hit up mesa tomorrow / today

[iPhoneSk8er8000]

Thumbs up/like this is an awesome video.

[Z39hyrr]

last summer my aunt was having her wedding in Arizona and I was begging my parents to take me to Bookmans and we did in Phoenix, I was in awe at the games section I really wanted to get a super Famicom but I didn't have the money so I got 2 Dreamcast games which was amazing because I got a game I was looking for, and i got a shirt with a quote from Groucho Marx that says "Outside of a dog a book is mans best friend, inside of a dog it's too dark to read it also says Bookmans so it's my proof

[danzig3462]

i want to go there so bad!!

[wgary321]

[WilliamWillWillson]

I got a super game boy, Zelda II, sonic adventure,

a NES zapper, duck hunt, and mario bros.

[BleachFanOne]

i went to gamestop the other day and askd them if they where selling any original xbox games, they told me to go bookmans insted. xD sadly the closet one is 30 miles away and i dont trust myself to go alone. >.>

[modribbb]

This is my dream!

[GamingExtreme187]

[DJEmergency]

Dude this is great! Too bad I don't have stores like this by me... :(

[nmen0]

now i wish i live in arizona = ( the only game stores here are gamestop and gamerz but i like gamerz

[SMAAAASHTV]

wow, both of those stores looks a lot nicer and have a lot more stuff than the Bookmans on Grant in Tucson! Hopefully next time I come through Phoenix I can drop by that bookmans!

[yoshishot16]

[BJOdom]

The Bookmans in Flagstaff, Arizona had its roof collapse. I was out there on vacation looking forward to checking one out, all others being almost 3 hours away. They have pictures of the damage on their website.

[rescuehero942]

4:12 I See a Leapfrog Leappad. I Still Have one.

[cheeseymonkeystudio2]

Dammit i live in uk...

[PsychoKittyNet]

Love Bookmans, Im gonna miss it when I move.

[Mr12345678910kid]

do not go to the one in tucson it sucks there isint much varation and its very expensive

[Rammondos]

I have to admit, quite a gamestore to visit when on a vacation within the area, nothing I haven't arleady seen in my nearby gamestore I haven't seen.. although PC games are a plus XP. AND the prices, HALF compared to mine (Gameworld, seriously, average price for games are $20) I haven't seen all that many boxed games,but I digress. Great store!

[DiggerandIndy]

All that looks like heaven to me! :-)

[tecknation]

I cant go 2 Arizon..... Im mexican! XD seriously though im legal but what if i loose my wallet? o_0

[newkillergenius]

How much did Bookman's pay for this?

[brotherjames10]

i think i just nerdgasmed.......

i want to go to that store :(

[haloalldaylo]

omg that store is straight out of my dreams!!!

[DeviousTelevision]

How about some Atari?

[houseofpaingames]

When I get back to Arizona tomorrow I'm going to go to the phoenix bookmans because I had never even seen that they sold famicom games there. 

[Mamonuth]

I want to go to USA so badly. Just for this store.

[DCN0B]

Wow too bad i live in NJ :( Do these guys have a website? and do they ship games? i would love to get more SNES games.

[brotherjames10]

i think i just had a nerdgasm....

yep most certainly a nerdgasm

[BulletSmoke]

Ah dammit, there's nothing like this in Canada except for microplay and EVERYTHING retro is overpriced. Wish I could find a DC for 35 bucks here.

[Dejann9120]

I bought PerfectDark new in 6.50 :D

[goford90]

wow cool store.

[DarkAvatar1313]

God damn, why are all the good places away from where I live. There only Gamestops in Pittsburgh.

[PsychoMikeRants]

Rad StarWars T'shirt

[VideoGamesRevisited]

Wow, those stores look amazing. Such a shame we don't have a chain like this in the UK. At least in my backward ass neck of the woods!

[Sony32492]

holy crap!! do you live close to that store?!!??!?!!? because i live like a block away =]

[MikeEsex]

My jaw has dropped....thanks for uploading this! Me and some of my buds are gonna have to make a "pilgrammage" here...even though we're only in Cali, but still wish we had one of those here!

[MrGotmail]

omg that's heaven when u go on the site where do u look for games or buy them help ...and nice video's

[KRADRETAM0]

This store is the bomb I wish I had one here in Wisconsin!

[KiLl3rKlOwNz]

how expensive r the nintendo games at bookmans in pheonix

[HappyCamper7]

keep the videos coming man, awesome channel :)

[BuckskinGames]

I shit myself after seeing that store.

[ef91sir]

ah thank god i finally saw this old retro store video.. i only thought a store that would carry retro games here in phoenix would be play n trade but i guess thats not true. i have to check this store out and pick up some classics.. thanks alot man

[xxdbozconfidentialxx]

gamester81 that's your daughter?

[Gamester81]

@xxdbozconfidentialxx lol no that's just some random little girl. =)

[wirelessguy1]

aw man, the perfect place to nerd out with old games and people. is this store only in mesa arizona?

[gamerjr92]

Well because of you i have started collecting retro systems, i went to my local flea market and found a sega genesis in box, bundled with sonic 2, the one it came with the not for resale sticker on it, also on the box it has a sticker saying Sonic 2 system #1614. All for $35, i think i got a deal on it, any opinions? The box is a bit beat up but its over 15 years old so what do you expet.

[Wexfyf]

What is on that hat?

[Omniadude91]

I think il visit this shop when i am with my aunt in Florida cant wait :D

[tripdeezy]

Dude, nice editing. This Bookman's store looks like an amazing place, too bad there isn't one in Dallas.

[himortal7]

what is the transition music called?? its mking me laugh so hard for some reason! hahaha this place looks soo awesome! I would travel to visit a place like this

thanks for sharing :)

[vivalastupidity]

The word "classic" was said 12 times in this video, by my count. Good shit!

[DeJoshable]

Gauntlet now that was a game

[Azure701]

Another awesome and entertaining vid. That place almost looks like an American Hard Off from Luke Morse vids.

Keep up the good work!

[xyanide1986]

The pricing of this store is beyond awesome, do they have a webshop and do they ship overseas? Pre-PS2 consoles have much higher pricing here classics on them in particular can get pricey. You guys do say "classic" a bit much haha, but hey in a store like that I'd walk outside bankrupt.

[28steryan]

That shop gives me the horn!!!

[Slaughterbeck16]

I wanna see a video of all your handhelds

[SuperVegeta25Returns]

awesome video man! I am so jelaous XD. I'm in new york..so im guessing there are no bookmans out here huh? D:

[drewmoore2009]

were is this

[111random]

Danmit all I have in ottawa is microplay... I think

[kingstonlj]

Bookmans looks like a really cool place for retro fans. Like an Aladdin's cave full of retro gems. The prices are good too.

Also, I'm tempted to try and find a black Dreamcast now.

Thanks for a great video.

[PeteDorr]

Amwesoem what a geat surprise cameo! Jason is a great guy I love his videos :) I love the retro feel of having the old school ames hung on peg hooks, especially the genesis games. Even if it is for security purposes it still looks great!

[bondfish]

all i have to say is 6 bucks and classic

[retrogamerreviews]

this place is great i wish i had one near me. It almost reminds me of another retro game shop called power gamer

[Wootsickles]

Dude you guys complaining about not having these stores.... I live in friggin Wyoming, I can't even buy recent titles around here lol, consider yourselves lucky!

[mookow69]

Looks like a treasure chest of classic games.

[battroidattack]

They need a Bookmans in the SF Bay Area. The closest thing we have is Half Price Books and there is a very small selection only limited to Xbox, Ps2 and XBox 360 games. =(

[MrFatty32]

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poptartlove2010]

Awesome! I go here all the time. Good deals. :o)

[ThatsFresh26]

why does everyone have these cool stores exept me...

[gamesessions]

great video - shame about the editing - really off-putting. I think someone watches a bit too much MTV :P Besides this minor niggle, it's nice to see those retro shops - don't have many like that in the UK

[glamourknight]

Wish there was a Bookman's in Kansas!!!

not gonna happen :-<

[captainnintendo]

...I hate living in Demark :( We have nothing like these stores. Hard to be a collector here.

anyways, awesome stores.

[ClassicConsoleGamer]

Awesome vid dude i wish there was a place like this in the uk all we get over here is places that sell games for the current generation of consoles mainly

[navitos]

Wow, awesome place! And the prizes seems to be amazingly sweet, not to expensive. Ooh i gotta get a N64 and Golden eye, LOVE that game :D Jason seem to be a great dude as well, i'ma check out his channel. Great vid John!

[jizzmatic2000]

Oh hey, I just heard via Wesley Crusher's twitter that Bookman's is sponsoring Geek Prom!

[jizzmatic2000]

"Classic" x 1000 = this video.

I kid. Great store!

[TheGreeNate]

There is a place in California called GameDude, it's like this place, but looking at this video, I can say Bookmans is a lot better.

[CroatianRetroGamer]

I will probably bankrupt in that store.

Great video John.

[Crush777]

Gawd. My ctiy need a place like this. I would lose so many dollars to a store like this. Could rebuilt my NES or Genesis collection without getting worked on ebay and shipping charges. The cool thing is the store are charging a reasonable amount depending on the rarity by the sounds of it and not like hiking the prices outrageously.

PS I LOVE the Myst series. I remember playing hours n hours. Had a whole book of notes.

Classic is the word of the day. :))

[playstation3is4me]

big fan of Bookmans We have Three here in Tucson az. Just bought my 360 from bookmans!!

[KevinLieber]

I never heard of that store but it seems awesome. They clearly have their layout and displays on point. I'd love to check one out some day. Peace.

[SuperDashRendar]

I think the video is too long and the weird editing does not work well. Looks like a cool store though.

[chaseblinz]

WOW I JUST PICK FF7 $30

[shaurz]

That place looks amazing.

[TheBull980]

Excelent video

[rejectofsoul24]

I'm thinking that bookmans ordered like WAY too much stuff and their reselling it for collectors.

no offense but the editing can be a little anoying

[JohnnyDeppFan1433]

Incredible store. WOW.

[robhova]

You can get starcraft brand new from almost any bestbuy. I alone brought about 3 copies of it in the last 5 years because of the broodwars cd getting scratched. You single handly are making me want to get a 3DO it was such a great system just ahead of its time. Also want to get snes and n64 again. I also have a retro gameinformer of sony talking about the ps3 shortly after the release of the original ps. Awesome channel man keep up the good work.

[kad3t]

I love your collaboration videos. If you meet up with Mark from CGR and GamingMill from UK, than you'll like cover all the most important retro gaming people ever from YT. Well, I'm exaggerating as there's many more but those two are the ones I'd love to see you meet up with next if possible. ^__^

[shleeve]

rad store man, i would love to go check that out someday. silly editing, i like :)

[samxthexman]

man if i lived near there i'd have no money at all.

[amurphy245]

Holy cow that is one epic store.We get nothing like that in the uk,but then i suppose this is nothing compared to japan.

[gateway123456778900]

awesome store.

[JTX5]

I dont have any thing like this near my house. The closest thing a Play n trade about 40 mins from my house

[SPac316]

Some really nice looking places there. I would love to visit them when ever I'm in the area.

[vivalastupidity]

@SPac316

Hey S-Pac! countchocula here!

[SPac316]

@vivalastupidity Sup.

[TheSmashgamer]

envy envy envy... I live in the UK. : (

[DlNKYDANA]

Nice video. I'd have to fight the urge to go to that store. Too much stuff. Great editing by Jason too.

[AnimalCrossingX]

Bookmans stores are only in Arizona. It says the locations on their website...

I've been trying to find a store around my area like that, and the closest thing I have is this store called The Exchange. It's a good store, but they overprice a lot of things that shouldn't be, such as used DS games that launched with the system for the price of a new copy...They don't have a big selection of NES games either, but the other system are great. I've also seen import games and systems there...

[theswitchman90]

is there a bookmans in the midwest???

[unleadedlogic]

@theswitchman90 I checked the website for one around the Chicago area. No such look.

[redknight802]

ive been there i like that place

[nani1962]

That shop is amazing 

[iLuvPlaystation]

hey gamser81, do they have any of these stores in california?

[QutaHunter]

wow i wish i had that here in toronto canada... nice video gamester u have to do a review, a close up on that new sega dreamcast looks very interesting to me.

[krgeek]

O.O omg......

[DUDEABIDES001]

i wish i had a bookmans where i live. all i have are lame ass gamestops

[Thevideogameprophet]

marvel vs capcom 2 for 90 bucks I got mine for 40 dollars it seams a bit over priced.

[dragster178]

I was just at that same store! :D

[sethious1]

holy shit they need those shops here in Ohio

[wesgrosscustoms]

AWESOME VIDEO JOHN! I should do a vid of the place where i get my fix!

[superlegoman64]

I want to go there!

[RetroGamerr1991]

WHY CANT LONG ISLAND HAVE BOOKMANS!!!

[nexus000111]

One word. AWESOME!!!

[DeathAdder83]

That is awesome I love Brian Poshen. Hey anytime you want to check out my local Game Stop and see that Ultra-Rare copy of Halo 3, just send me a private message.
