From taking reservations and charging late fees to recommending movies and preparing delicious snacks, there’s never a dull moment when running your store! Customize your walls and floors, decorate with posters and memorabilia and expand your layout to build the video store of your dreams. Fill your shelves with thousands of unique VHS tapes, each with their own title, genre and hand-drawn cover art! Order movies on your old PC or buy exclusive bootleg films from the shady Tape Dealer. Each week will have new releases inspired by real iconic movies of the 80s and early 90s.
