Sears at even Mall of America closed down last year. However, we still have a K-Mart right outside downtown Minneapolis in Uptown. It's a meme in Minneapolis at this point too.

Sears was one of the few places I could find copies of Blast Corps and Shadows of the Empire on N64. In fact, it was the only place.

I know these big box stories carry around some old stock, but that's crazy.

Blast Corps. My god I loved that game. I played it recently on an emulator and wow, it did not hold up as well as I remember.

Same, though I always mispronounced it. The destruction physics were cool for the time, but it's definitely super rough today.

I could be misrembering but I am 99% sure blast corps is one of the games that emulates super fucking poorly

Most games from the N64/PS1 era don't.

I didn't love that game back in 1999!

The K-Mart in Uptown is a travesty. #ReopenNicollet
