1. Propaganda Palace
Wonderland of the Americas, 4522 Fredericksburg, Ste F3
(210) 400-0240, facebook.com/pages/Propaganda-Palace

Propaganda refers to itself as a "retro video game heaven" for good reason. If you're a child of the '80s and looking for a video game controller or power glove for your old NES system or a spare part for your Atari 2600, Propaganda Palace is the place to find it. Gamers with a soft spot for nostalgia looking to relive the first time they hopped over a fire-breathing Bowser to save the princess or figured out how to KO King Hippo flock here. Owner A.J. Martinez (left) says vintage gaming is back at full force. "It's come full circle. People want to have that feeling like they're 12 years old again. Their faces light up when they play these systems. It's like Christmas." While Martinez says he's closing up shop at the Eisenhauer location, there is still a venue at the Wonderland of the Americas Mall and a new one coming to 2100 McCullough.
