Reviews for Vintage Game Shop

[Big-Boss]

I really enjoyed this game! It even has a little bit of replay value, if you ask me. Seeing so many classic and nostalgic video games and consoles was very cool and being able to buy them was even cooler!

There are a couple of things in the game that you can't seem to make a profit off of, though. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and General Instrument AY38500 were the two things I could never make a profit off of. A customer would always want too much money for the Zelda game and I could only ever get the General Instrument AY38500 at it's retail price, so I would make no money when it was sold.

Also, I didn't like the fact that you had to pay to talk to the expert about an item. I really think that idea should've been scrapped. It can be more of a con than a pro when someone is new to the game and doesn't know the value of any of the items. It can burn a hole in the players wallet if they call the expert a lot.

Besides those two issues, this is a great game! I'd love to see a second installment with even more games and consoles to buy.

He's gonna take you back to the past
to play the shitty games that suck ass.
He'd rather have a buffalo
take a diarrhea dump in his ear.
He'd rather eat the rotten asshole
of a road killed skunk and down it with beer

He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard.
He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd.
He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd.
He's the Angry Video Game Nerd.

When you turn on your TV,
make sure it's tuned to channel three.
He's got a nerdy shirt and a pocket pouch,
although I've never seen him write anything down.
He's got a Power Glove and a filthy mouth,
armed with his Zapper he will tear these games down

He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard
He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd
He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd
He's the Angry Video Game Nerd

He plays the worst games of all time.
Horrible abominations of mankind.
They make him so mad he could spit,
or say Cowabunga, cowa-fuckin'-piece'a dog shit...

They rip you off and don't care one bit,
but this nerd he doesn't forget it.
Why can't a turtle swim? Why can't I land the plane?
They got a quick buck for this shit-load of fuck.
The characters names are wrong. Why's the password so long?
Why don't the weapons do anything?

He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard.
The games suck so bad, he makes up his own words.
He's the angriest most pissed off gaming nerd.
He's the Angry....
Atari, Amiga, CDI, Colecovision, Intellivision, Sega, Neo Geo, Turbo Grafix 16, Odyssey, 3DO, Commodore, Nintendo Nerd.
He's The Angry Video Game Nerd...

It's okay as far as a game goes. Not much in the way of excitement, but if you love the art of the deal, you'll get a kick out of it.

It's fun for a while. As someone pointed out, it's sorta like PawnStars. I especially liked the little historical trivia notes (I'm a history geek - I love that sort of stuff).

The gameplay is repetitive and really one-dimensional. Click a button, wait for the dialogue - which realy doesn't change much. Okay, it's basically a one-button game. I get it. Got bored after about 5 minutes, then just started clicking the "history" tab under questions.

It's interesting and educational if you're into the history of games and gaming theory. Also a bit of corporate business tactics (see the techwars between Nintendo and Sega). For the glory ays of console gaming, 3.5/5.
