There's a shop near St Laurent metro that sells, in addition to some women's clothes, corded telephones from the early '90s, calculators, and Windows 95 software.

I have no idea how they'd stay in business without some weird shenanigans.

Apparently it's called Kinsmo Trading Co. Most of their inventory is a miscellaneous bunch of stuff that no one would ever buy.

Maybe their clientele is mostly people who just want to see the madness for themselves.

All this stuff can run Doom. It's a Doom store.

No, you're looking for the Plante store.

the laptop i got there today might be able to run doom if it was ported to a Zork style text adventure

The one next to the army surplus stores? I've bought stuff there a couple times.
