This is a great place. It definitely has a mom-and-pop feel, with(as far as I could tell) a literal mom-and-pop! I talked to the owner last time I was there and I could tell he’s a video game fan, and he especially likes the N64. They have a great selection of NES, Sega Genesis, GBA and N64 cartridges. Game Boy and GBC selection was a bit slim. They also carry all the current systems, although I didn’t notice any 3DS games. It’s definitely a quirky place — they will ask you if you want to open an account(I did, haha) but you don’t have to. They have some funky programs like«Own to Rent» where you can buy a game and if you bring it back it just counts as a rental and you get store credit back. They have a good selection of consoles and accessories as well. Their prices are pretty good, not rock-bottom but you can find some good deals if you look closely. Most importantly — the games and accessories I’ve bought from them were incredibly well-cleaned and in good shape. And the Pikachu N64 they use for letting customers try out games is a great touch!

Kind of a strange little store. It’s pretty small but very organized and clean. They don’t have a lot of games for new systems, but they have a TON of older games for older systems, such as NES, Genesis, and especially N64. When you walk in the first thing you see is a rack of N64 game boxes. Then you notice there are 3 of these racks right down the middle of the store. Holy 1998! It’s kind of cool they have all those games but kind of weird that they’re featured so prominently. The person working there was nice and friendly but not overly chatty or in my face so that was nice. One very cool thing if you’re an RPG nerd like I am: they had a whole bunch of RPGs for some reason. You rarely see any at used game stores(other than FF and other huge sellers), so I was surprised to find things like the GBA Fire Emblems, Baten Kaitos, Shadow Hearts, the old Gameboy FF; Legend games, and many others. Not sure if someone just sold off a collection or if they get those in regularly. Prices were pretty typical, with some decent deals mixed in. Overall they don’t have a huge selection, but they’re definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.
