I can only think of one thing actually. That thing is no games like Barbie or Olsen twins games. Or how about no games that really suck. So the people who work there have to play the game before you can put it in stock. If the game is good, put it in stock, if not, you don't. And the bigger the better. And a catchy name.

Hmm...this is what I would do. I'd have three different, very distinguished sections that represented each major console player. Each clerk working at the respective section is a fanboy of that console. Think of the tension, it would be beautiful. They'd be trying to convince customers to buy this and that...and then the other clerk interrupts, and everyone gets angry...

I would make it a bit more spacious than usual game stores too. You can't make too many games and places available for kids to play though, or else they'll never leave, so keeping that to a mininum is a necessity. I really enjoy Crash's idea of creating a sort of video-gamish interior (the mushroom kingdom, hyrule, etc.) I can just imagine walking into a store with these big red polka-dotted mushrooms, goomba figurines and the like...It'd be really fun and it would put gamers in an good mood...a buying mood.

Ok.

And schematics are done.

Now, they arnt good schematics, they took about 10 seconds of planning, and 5 minutes of drawing. I didnt really feel like making it good.

And judging by the size, to fit everything in, i would need a warehouse

And no, the stores arnt full size stores, they are mall size stores, little booths if you will.

And i would need to do an entrance charge to pay for my many and vast TV's.

So like i said, i would want it to be a place of communion..( in the non-religios way)...or community if you will. Where people just go to hang out. Because it would have everything. Food stores, bathrooms, competitions, games, TV's...yopu could just lounge around and do nothing. For a small fee of course.

Like a sports bar for girlfriendless-zit infested-nerds and geeks alike.


(Notice the jail.....thats the selling point for me.)

EDIT: I drew it in pencil, so it might be really really light.

EDIT EDIT: The dotted line arnt the racks for the games, its indicating that there is not a wall there, but thats where the cut-off for that section is.
