I found a cool vintage gaming store hidden in one of the many alleyways in Rihab Complex. There were a couple of other stores selling vintage consoles and games but this one had the largest collection by far.
The store had a ton of stuff including the NES, SNES, N64, MSX (Sakhr), Dreamcasts, 3DO’s, Gameboys, Ataris, Master Drive, Saturns, Game Gears, and a whole lot more. The store also had old games and accessories to go along with the consoles.
It’s difficult to explain how to find the shop but I’ll try my best to at least point you in the direction. If you take the escalator to the top floor of Rihab Complex, the store would be in one of the dark alleyways in front of you. It’s shop #4 and their phone number is 22626811.

Love it… I really feeling like buying one of those…
I knew this place for almost 2 years. Great stuff!
Where the exactly address of this store? Thanks
the shop charged me 130KD for a used PS1 😛
I got mine for 20KD with 5 games and a controller.
I think I got my PS1 from the place you got yours too, but the problem is he’ll doesn’t have original games, they’re like pirated or something.
that doesn’t make sense. He sells the NES for KD35 before haggling so a PS1 can’t be 130. Not unless it’s a brand new.
this was back in 2011 🙂 i had a bunch of old classic PS1 games and my PS1 just wouldn’t turn on anymore.
so i walked around Rehab and found this little shop.
just to clarify its not the very small round PS1, its the Original box shape ones that first came out, and it was in Mint condition, with 4 Controllers and a box full of Games.
And I have an emulator for each of this devices on my phone and tablet.
Playing the real thing is a much more exciting experience.
This store is great, they have awesome stuff. Mark, there are a few more stores that sell vintage systems as well.
On emulators, the temptation to save is too great. It’s different on the real thing, where you have to spend a 2-3 hour session on a game from start to finish.
nothing can replace my beloved snes.
That may be convenient but it doesn’t beat the feeling (and frustration) of playing it on an old console 🙂
My PS1

My 2600 console, however, is in multiple pieces in a shelf.
I had a huge collection

But sold it all and now just have my mint condition SNES with all my old games.
actually i still have my game & watches plus all the latest consoles (xbox one, ps4, wii u)
I have an emulator and still buy the old carts for collection purposes.
People are busy with their lives these days. Who’s got free time to play these games any more?
This shop is a nice place I first saw it in Kuwait like 15 Years ago, great shop
Nooooo Why! Why! Whyyyyy. This was my secret place -____- Cat’s outta the bag, yo.
That’s so cool. I was actually thinking of getting a super nes the other day for super metroid and the legend of Zelda a link to the past! My two favorite retro games of all time :3
There is also one more store selling vintage games in the basement of Rehab complex, he is an old Lebanese guy i think his name is Abo Ali. u can ask around everyone knows him. Sometimes you do find good deals while most of the time it’s just cheaper to order from eBay.
I did buy a clean boxed Gamecube 2 years ago from him with 4 genuine Nintendo controllers, cost me around 45-50kd then ordered most of the games and controller extensions from eBay.
Mark, i still have my SNES boxed, only opened and used for 1 day.
yeah as i mentioned in the post there are a couple at Rihab who sell vintage games, the one i’ve highlighted is the largest.
Hope they have pitfall on atari.. good times
old very old mark, already talked about it in my blog :p
sane shop too
same
i will be work kuwait and go to that shop for retro game consoles.
my collection is so good 5 pieces dreamcast with Harddisk mod 180 games
xbox classic 20 pieces soft modded
snes multi region auto modded etc.
ps1 1001,1002 series
sega naomi with gdrom (my favorite)
Do they have 32x and sega CD and also their games and do they have a large collection of game gear and genesis games
or they have small collection
Do they sell Playstation Portable in that specific store and do they also sell Memory Sticks for PSP in that store? Thank
