Let's go Game Hunting at 'World 8' Video Game Store in LA
I was in LA not too long ago. When I was in town I decided to stop by a local game shop, World 8, and do a little shopping. Here’s what it’s like inside.

ohh i been there. they used to use an old orginal xbox as a door stop
Those prices… My god… Retro collecting became so disgusting
Your in town for socalretrogamingexpo???
Boomers Adventure!! That’s the name of that game. One of the games I owned growing up that I actually thought held up pretty well. Very underrated.
Its insane seeing Super Mario 2 going for $100+…Especially since NES emulators have existed since the late 90s….I have 30 great PS2 titles and a few PS1 games…I have trouble deciding whether to keep them longer or to sell them for whatever price I can get…
I live 8 blocks from this place!! Unreal John Riggs in Koreatown 🤝
I only been to that store once since I live in LA county, it’s to far for me to visit lol great video sir theirs lots of retro game stores in LA. Theirs a cool imports retro store in lil Tokyo in LA u should visit
I wonder how many of us guys will be looking down at our gaming bods after seeing jacked Tommy. XD I sure did! Umm….yeah, I should get off the couch.
U gotta hit up game dude next time you’re in town.
WTF WHY ARE THESE GAMES SO EXPENSIVE!?!?
People complain about ebay prices, but the prices on those games are higher than ebay prices.
Pretty sure I ran into both you and Curtis at the last PGRE (passing convos). Riggs was sporting an awesome Robotnik costume. Definitely looking forward to the next PGRE. Cool store!
TOURMAMENTS?
Man I wanna take a trip to LA.
Was that $1000 for a CIB super punch out? Thats steep.
Sick store
You see in this shop nintendo 3ds
Man, I remember playing Pinbot in 2nd grade.
Wow! I used to live within walking distance of that place. Years ago. Cool to see they are still around.
I went to World 8 four years ago and got fascinated for the place. But man, those Game Boy games are super expensive now.
There would be more Master System games at a British store.
I can’t believe I liv in la and have yet to visit this place
I feel like every one of John’s videos can be summed up by "Come for the old-school video games, stay for the food."
Wow this store looks awesome. I’m so glad I found your channel. Can’t stop watching your videos. I especially like the ones where you rank retro games in groups. I was (and still am) the biggest gaming nerd I knew back in the day and have experienced so much nostalgia through your vids. I didn’t know other people were as into it as I was at the time but there definitely were apparently. Thanks for bringing back good memories and keep it up man I love it!
Man over here in Rocherter, NY there used to be a chain of retro stores called Game Craze but they ALL closed down like 3 or 4 years ago. So now there’s no way to get retro games here. And I don’t trust on-line stores or sellers in general. You’re lucky and blessed to live in the area where you live. That Tetris 2 was sweet. If I would have been there I would have gone crazy buying games. Thanks for sharing this store visit John it could have been double the time long but it’s O.K.!👍
After years of watching Game Sack, John finally got a GREENDOG! copy.
Y0!
It makes me so sick seeing the prices of all the games I just gave away in the past!
I was at 8-2 it was awesome
Can I tell you your friend looks a lot like Kevin James from King of Queens if he was buff.
Check out “ Book-off” while here in LA.
John, how long r u in LA for?
Spin it till you win it.
Yeah Yeah yeah!!!Yeah!!!! Riggs in the Building!!!!! World 8. One of my fav spots when I lived in LA!!! So awesome. Many Many classics tourneys went down there! Love it. If you’re a gamer and in LA, this should be a top destination.
Side note: if you love what arcades used to be likenin the 90s and 00s, then check out: EightyTwo, the best arcade in LA. And If you want another game store to satisfy your gaming appetite, check out GameDude!
Your way much better than so call
Metal Fake Jesus
I want pinbott I want pinbott 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😁ok edit time..You did grab pinbott well done bro 🙏🏽 solstice and pinbott were one of my favourites back in the hey day 🙏🏽👍🏾🤘🏾
Hello Mr. Riggs, would you be able to advice me where I could find stores like this in US that might still seem boxed NES catridges?
If you like these types of videos, I have a whole playlist of me attending other game stores and conventions – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsOTz-tlvayLQkqa6pY-_qgfeNP9-OCme
Oh wow I remember passing by this places on the way to college. I always wanted to go but never did.
That Legend of the River King right at the beginning. Been looking for a copy of that for a long time, myself.
What made that super punch out so special for nearly a thousand dollars? I’m very intrigued with the why.
Greendog is such a fun game,not perfect and a little bit frustating sometimes,but I really love the music,the art and the atmosphere of it!
This place looks really overpriced…
I wish we had stores like that around here. The retro-gaming community is pretty much non-existent here in SW Florida…
That sealed Super Punch Out 😲
Balls to my face!!! Awesomeness! Love these stores
Just found the channel! my kind of shit!
i make gaming and thrifting videos on my channel! i hope people will go on over and check me out! Pixel Hunt
It would be nice to see more videos like this one.
John, you’re the freggin best. I want to be you when I grow up
Good work here!!! You are late to the party = Promo>SM !!!
