G.A.M.E.S.

G.A.M.E.S. (Previously Microplay) is really the only non-​chain gaming store within Oshawa worth going to.
Owned by geeky-​gamer Jesse, the store features a used section for not only the newest console games, but also a rather huge variety of games from your childhood (If your childhood was in the 80’s and you’re awesome). He also has a small selection of older consoles you can purchase as well, however he will leave you drooling when it comes to his private, displayed collection of old consoles and arcade systems.
There’s a lot of clutter, especially in the staff area of the shop which is sort of in the middle of everything.
The staff is friendly enough, though generally very, very young and seem to hang out in the store talking to each other whether they are working or not.
The selection of new games is lacking — though I’m sure if you asked them to order in a new game for you, they would do it.
They also buy used games for any system, but don’t count on making big bucks as they have no qualms about literally giving you one penny for an old (probably sports related) game.
If you’re sick of EB Games/​Gamestop then try GAMES and see if it’s the place for you. Though if you’re older than 20, you’ll be in the minority.
