You may have popped every pig in Angry Birds, but score a lesson in real video game history at Play N Trade. The 2,200-square-foot video game store is like an encyclopedia of fun. Rediscover games such as Super Mario Bros. 3 ($19.99) and Pokemon Yellow ($34.99), plus systems such as a rare Atari 5200 ($199.99) with its original box. While Play N Trade carries current games and systems, what has really surprised owner Danny Rubenstein is the kids who come in looking for those old-school systems and games. “A kid came in and he wanted a Nintendo 64,” Rubenstein recalls. “He had the new stuff, but he was just interested in where it all started.” 5701 Mayfield Road, Mayfield Heights, 440-646-9500, facebook.com/playntrademayfield
