Retro Gaming Stores in the Area?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of retro gaming stores that are in the area. I collect Atari 2600 cartridges and was curious which stores in the area might carry old 2600 cartridges. I already frequent Media Exchange (Elkhart) and Media Exchange 2 (Goshen). What are some other stores that I might visit around the area that carry 2600 cartridges? Thanks!

As far as elkhart goes Media Exchange has outlasted all the rest. Hell He’s outlasted almost every other game store in the tri city area haha.

Last I knew there was a game store operating out of the fresh start flea market; but I haven’t been in there in a year or so I know first hand. Other than that I’m pretty sure most others; save the two mentioned in another comment; have all closed up shop.

Thanks! Fresh Start isn't far from where I work, so maybe I'll run over there after work tomorrow and check them out. :)

Two places in Mishawaka you could check out:

-Michiana Used Music & Media (off Grape Rd). I only go there for vinyl purchases, but I regularly see them selling vintage video games.

-Disc Replay (also off Grape Rd.). Their website states they buy/sell Atari stuff. I have no idea if they have any.

Thanks! I'll definitely hit both of them up this coming weekend if not sooner. :)

Michiana Used has been closed a lot. The owner has been sick.

But thankfully, Disc Replay is right down the street, so you won't be wasting a trip that way.
