Last week he and a friend decided to launch the store together. He told 9 News that he and his mother used to game [[link]] together and that many of the titles he is now selling came from their collection. “I could look through here and be like, ‘Oh, I remember playing that with my mom when I was just kid,'” Taylor said.

This is a store that she would like, you know, she would shop here.” Click to view Update: It’s worth noting that there is another Game On video game store in Denver: Game On Denver.
