    Hi there!

    I will be visiting Prague later this month, and I was wondering if there is anybody in here who knows a good place there to buy stuff, retro-gaming wise?
    Vinyl-stores, good places to eat etc is also more than welcome :D

    Thanks!

    Czechoslovakia was communist until 1989 so you might find some bootleg/clone stuff.

    I was in Prague for work in 2015 for a couple of weeks, and am going back later this year, didn't see much gaming stuff really but some colleagues from work told me there were a few good arcades. I might ask them see if they have a clue about retro game shops but can't promise anything.

    As for food, make sure to try klobasa (sausage), trdelnik (sweet spit cake - seriously good!), and medovina (hot honey wine). And of course a good pilsner beer :)

    That's the closest way I found to translate it lol, as that's how its made. I think in other places it's called "chimney cake".

    So it's made of saliva then? That doesn't sound very good.

    Retro Gaming is going to be limited to Elektronika's, Mega Drive clones, and Famicom clones basically.

    Try flea markets and just talking to people. You can try posting wanted ads on facebook groups too, I've picked up a few Elektronika's from facebook groups before.
