Sacred Symbols+, Episode 393 | Main Level Games: Connecting Through the Past (Patreon)

The retro game boom is still going strong, with collectors desperate for more places to find their favorite games from the past. While we often hear the perspective of collectors, what is it like to own and run a game store? For this episode, I (Dustin) interviewed Evan Miranda, the owner of Main Level Games, the new (and only) game store here in Butler. Since opening in November 2023, Main Level Games has exploded in popularity, garnering a dedicated community of enthusiasts around the shop. So how did Evan go from collector to store owner? What does it mean to build trust with your customers? What systems and games are the most popular? I asked Evan all about the ins and outs, but our conversation went deeper than I expected. How can games from the past evoke more than just nostalgia and lead us to deeper conversations? This conversation was a blast, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
