Japan Game Junk

A wonderful store in Matsudo, Chiba, this branch of Momotaro Okoku truly respects Xbox as well as the human excretion processes.

After visiting the Hard Off Ichikawa Ono branch in Chiba prefecture on April 20, 2024, I describe androgynous mermaids, regrettable old sales, and 3000 yen paper sleeves.

Yet another Hard Off in Koshigaya city of Saitama. This time it's the Koshigaya Minami branch visited on April 15, 2024. Not much rarity to share but I was kind enough to supply you with a 10 second long good bye.

A description of the fun to be had in a traditional Famicom store in Japan which is endangered. This one is Papi, in Soka city of Saitama, visited on April 15, 2024. It's an experience every game collector should experience at least once so please just go while you still can.

Visiting the Chiba Kanteidan branch in Yachiyo city on April 14, 2024, I could find a 100 yen section I found to be very interesting. Also I buy a game involving high school girl corpses, and I explain honking a horn on a hill.

A short check in with the Hard Off / Off House combo store in Yachiyo city of Chiba prefecture on April 14, 2024. Not much to mention other than a rare boxed console variant I'd never seen for sale.

A report from a wonderful store in Chiba. It's the Momotaro Okoku (Peach Boy Kingdom) in Narashino, Chiba. Always good finds despite some dubious pricing, and all the good stuff is on the 2nd floor so you can ignore the card game dorks on the first floor!

The rarest retro game find ever is the most expensive thing ever sold at Hard Off. This is the report of a visit on April 14, 2024 at the store in Kamagaya, Chiba.

Back in Koshigaya city of Saitama although in a very different part than the store in a previous episode, this time I recall seeing overpriced handhelds and underpriced cartridges. I also describe how you can get locked in with birds and touch furry animals cheaply while thinking of a land down under. From April 8th of 2024.

On a rainy Monday in Saitama prefecture I visit the Hard Off store in the Kamiaoki area of Kawaguchi city. I am impressed with the condition of the games on sale, and I share how I am also impressed with the movie theater experience at the highly recommended AEON Cinema in Kawaguchi city.
