You’re reading Retro Game Network, bringing truth to nerds twenty four hours a day! We’re here with special guest, Best Friend Rand, Chief Secretary of Awesomeness!

Thank you Rhonda for that wonderful intro, I still miss you after all these years. Hello friends! For this update I thought I’d talk about one of my favorite local gaming joints. I know the Mid-Atlantic area peeps go on and on about Digital Press……but sadly I’m not an east coast guy, and thus, have never been there. So, since I’m here in Illinois I will begin a new series of entries here on RGN, as I go on and on about a beacon of retro gaming light here in the Midwest, Exile on Main!

Basically, if you want a retro game this is place is your jam (if you’re in central Illinois). It has everything: Virtual Boy, Atari, SNES, NES, Genesis, heck, I even saw Dr. Mario in the case STILL IN IT’S ORIGINAL FACTORY SEALED PLASTIC!!!! Only 60 bucks, which I honestly didn’t think it was that bad.

Then as you can see they have a plethora of toys and collectibles. It really has a great atmosphere, plus you’ll be supporting local business, which is always awesome! Not only do they sell retro gaming equipment, they have new releases, CDs, vinyl, and movies! I would definitely suggest a pop in if you’re in Champaign, IL at any point.

As always, I want to thank you guys for reading through my post. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed typing it! Let me know if you ever want me to cover anything. I’m always up for suggestions! I’ll even plug you’re awesome little store! If I haven’t heard of it I’ll just come in and chat with you for a bit, take some pictures, and you’ll have some free advertisement!
