Backtracks Music & Games edinburgh

Great shop for the retro game collector. The owner is very friendly and helpful in helping to find what you need.

Pluses: excellent diverse and eclectic stock of vintage video games, and multiple formats e.g. PAL, NTSC. Minus: Asking prices are absolutely stratospheric, some by a true order of magnitude. We have shopped video game shops throughout Europe and the USA, this is by far the most expensive asking prices we've ever encountered. The Gamecube and Gameboy games were the most out-of-whack. Before you purchase any retro video games at this shop, know your prices. Other: as others have reviewed, small shop, stock floor to ceiling, a tad unorganized though certainly workable.

Interesting shop, impressive settings, owner is very kind. Has a lot of cassettes. Rare items indeed.

Very interesting and amazing shop. Though there's not a lot of space to squeeze in, the assortment is endless. We went in unexpectedly, the shop just cought our eye, and were pleasantly surprised by the amount of vinyls we found that we loved. The owner of the shop was lovely and helpful.

Nice place, many many interesting and rare items, well priced. Definitely worth a visit for music and videogame lovers.

Love this second hand music shop. So very few still standing. Cannot understand how anyone can write negative reviews about about any shop. Must have very little to do with your time. He works 10 hours a day , 6 days a week to make an honest decent living . If you don't like his shop DO NOT go in. Please contact me, I work with a newspaper, would love to get you pieces of s...t on STV to voice your opinion.

Best collection of cassettes for sale in Edinburgh. Lovely owner and a cool place.

Great place to find gems, whether in videogames (retrogaming included), music CDs or DVDs

Probably the worst shop I've been in.... Absolutely ram packed, no room to walk and it's a dumping place of old music and audio and games. Over priced and a tip is better organised. Selling junk at silly prices. Nightmare to find anything decent.... Rip off.

tommy super nice and helpful... great rare and random selection. a stranger in the store with us was looking for a little known lord of the rings PS2 game and found it, that’s the kind of place it is. a fun place to browse, could be a fringe venue in and of itself!
