Retro Game Scene is hosted by Game Changerz Salt Lake, a locally owned and operated retro game store. We invite on cool and interesting people in the local retro gaming community, chat them up, and then for the second half we make them play a video game. Guests include anyone from big-time collectors, to video game developers, and even other game store owners in the area.
Luis Guzman Talks about Running a Game Store in Mexico
Today's guest is Luis Guzman, owner of Hunter X Games in Mexico, and a local Whatnot seller. Luis travels between Mexico and Utah to buy and sell retro games. We chat about what retro gaming in Mexico is like, his passion for Zelda, and what makes a good or bad game store. He brought a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day to play for us, but we had a nasty technical failure and the footage for that got corrupted beyond repair. Still, we think the conversation alone was interesting enough to go ahead and put together an episode, even without the gameplay this time.Game Changerz is a retro game store located in Salt Lake City, UT.You can learn more about us at GameChangerz.com
