I’ve been to all of the retro game stores in the area many times, and this one is very good. The space is small, so obviously they cannot possibly have everything. However, what they do have is quality, and more importantly, reasonably priced. The owner doesn’t take Ebay prices and add 30%, he prices things appropriately based on what people are actually paying for them. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve paid for the items I’ve bought here. He also loves to chat with people and he remembers his customers. Always a pleasant experience, and I definitely recommend to anyone who is into collecting retro games.

I almost don’t want to share, so anytime I might want to get another PS2 game for my kids, they will all be there for me, but the store/shop is too good to not check out. The selection of PS2 games was a LOT better than I had expected, although the number of PS3 games was less than I had expected, that is ok as Game Stop has a lot of PS3 but no PS2 and the store is focused on the classic stuff. Had my 5 year old boy not wanted to rush home so he could play his Star Wars games, I would have loved to have spent at least 30 more minutes just looking around the store. My kids are young, 4 and 5 ½ so they don’t need PS3 games and I don’t need to spend the money on them when I can get games for under $ 10 and have the kids be just as happy with PS2 games. The selection of non-disc, cartidge games is impressive. Sega, Nintendo, they are all in the place and there are lots of other console games(you might know that I don’t know all that much about all the different systems), but I do know that they have a lot of the classic stuff as well as a lot of the hardware/joysticks/guns that go along with them. Will is a really nice guy too and I know he knows his stuff. I had even learned that the old guns for the shooter games won’t work on flat screen tv’s, which is great because I don’t have them, but I also don’t have any gun games besides Big Game Hunter 2012 for PS3. I will be back to buy more. It helps that the store is maybe 5 – 6 miles from my house.

Okay, so my story is a long one. After trying other locations and being disappointed, i decided to make the 1.5 hour drive to this location. My wife and autistic son came with me and I was hesitant about the success of the trip overall. Will, the owner, had texted me after I messaged him on Unilocal and we agreed on a time to meet at the store. We walked through all the game systems and he let me try games and consoles. When my son became difficult, Will gave him a Gameboy to play and at four years old, it was a life saver. He helped me out, discounted where he could, and walked me through my options. It was awesome. We shared thoughts and I plan on emailing a list of games I want so he can bundle them up for me. Overall it was a great experience and knowing that he has tons of things to buy plus consoles makes it the place I will shop even if it’s a long drive. From one service manager to you, this place is A++

Going in here was like stepping into a time machine to when I was a kid. All the old games I remember playing for hours are there. Will the owner is very personable and welcoming. Joe and Ben are very helpful with anything you need. They make you feel welcome right when you walk in. If your looking for any games from your childhood this is the place for you. Tons of systems and games to chose from.

It’s great to come across friendly and professional service at this small store that caters to the needs of classic video gamers and people with nostalgia for games from the 1980s. They have a good selection of games for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Atari 2600, Gamecube, Wii, Sega Saturn, and classic Nintendo and Sega games. I even saw one game console for the Magnavox Odyssey 2! It is nice that they have a lot of extra controllers, cables and accessories for these game systems.
