Video Game Store Closes 1994 Inventory Found 27 Years Later Factory Sealed SNES Sega Genesis Saturn




Correction: This store shut down a bit later than initially thought. Will have an exact date later.

Also. I apologize in advance for the camera work. This was just scrap footage, but we decided to use it anyway. More professional footage coming soon!

When a Nebraska video game store closed in the mid 1990's its inventory was packed up and placed in storage. 27 years later, when this video game archive is rediscovered, Gameroom went to investigate. What we discovered was unbelievable.

The collection includes hundreds factory sealed SNES, Sega Genesis, Saturn, 3DO, and Sega CD games.

We will not be disclosing any more information about this collection until preservation and documentation are completed. We will post updates on
