Shipwreck Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hey there, Does anyone know where - or if it is even possible - I can find game carts for the NES here in Bangkok? The 'Asian' NES was released here in the 80's so there must be carts around somewhere. I'd need to pick up a console as well. I have a U.S. NES system and about 50 games, but I'm always looking for more. Are there any retro video game shops in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock3am Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) I haven't been to MBK in awhile so I can't say for sure if it's still there but there is/was a fantastic retro game shop up on the "market" level below the cinema floor. Walk to the far side opposite to the cinema escalators (Thanon Phaya Thai side) and you will find it. They have practically everything there including super rare Japanese consoles and games (such as the SNES CD Addon) so I am sure they will have a fair selection of NES games and probably a console or two. Prices might be high though. It is a truly magical shop for video game aficionados. I have spent a fair while browsing through it on a few occasions.

Shipwreck Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 ^Thanks for that. I'll definitely have to go check that out, maybe this weekend. MBK is not far. Anyone know any other places to get NES games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackArtemis Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My ex can rattle off the Konami code in Thai because she had an NES growing up. They were quite rare, but they do exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have happened to have scored her old system in the separation would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anymore info on this shop such as a website, I'd love to visit it. Thanks. ianwuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
