Game Hunters

The game prices beat pretty much every game store around Springfield, even that Gameplay store in Eastfield Mall can’t compete with their prices. Especially trade-​in values. I recommend everyone to go there! I’ve had no problem with the employees and they are always extremely helpful and patient with me so if you’re planning to buy a new or used game, check out Gamehunters cause you’ll save some money.

***AVOID THIS DUMP***
They charge ebay prices on games that have been sitting in the sun for years. They don’t seem to take any pride in their work, as game are strewn about, all over the store floor. I have never seen as much dust in my life– it’s as if they haven’t cleaned the place in years. Those poor games.
Save your time and just shop online. Look at the other reviews, very similar to my experience there. Tried to purchase a SNES game here, was initially told it would be $ 40, and after browsing the store a bit more to see if there was anything else I wanted, I was told the price was actually $ 60.
What really «grinds my gears» is that there are no labeled prices… is that even legal? Never seen a store without prices clearly labeled. The Video Game Castle a few miles away doesn’t have a problem with this and they have a bigger store with more games.
Anyway, looks like Kevin H is an employee there, so I would take his input with a grain of salt… of course he’d give his own store a 5* review. Your time is precious, save it and avoid this dump.

I want to like the store. I really do. Their selection is impressive, and they have a ton of great vintage stuff. The problem, however, is that there are no prices on any of the games. That means that every time you see something that you might be interested in, you have to ask one of the bored (and, occasionally, surly) employees how much it costs. THEN, if they don’t ignore you, the employee will look the price up on the internet. For each and every game you have. Seriously. You are going to pay eBay/​Amazon prices, with no discount. Plus they don’t take into account the often grimy and sun-​damaged condition of their product. The place is a dump — there is dust and dirt everywhere, and the games all look like they have been abused by your least favorite cousin. So save your time, and just try to snag a good deal online, because there are no deals to be had here.

Little pricy for me, but their selections are great so its ok. Not really a good place if someone is claustrophobic. I do suggest doing some research on any game you come across first before you make you’re purchase.

They have a very large selection if games and movies from Atari to the current gen of ps4 and Xbox one, DVDs and blu rays. The workers are very knowledgable of their games and give out great recommendations. The games don’t have labels on them so some communication is needed but understand that they’re a small store and prices fluctuate and re-​pricing their huge selection of games would be a hassle. As for prices they’re A+, 90% of the time they have the best prices or can atleast price match and… NO TAX! You just can’t beat these prices. There are rarely any stores that carry old retro games but this store has it all, I’ve seen some rare cartridges such as mega man x3, smash bros, Zelda’s, bad fur day. The rare games are generally alittle bit less then the average online price which is great so don’t expect to find a steal price. They ran all the money out of my pockets, I am very satisfied.

Game Hunters is a case of good news, bad news.
The good news is that they carry games for many different platforms, from the Atari VCS to the Xbox 360. There are some decent gems to be found if you look hard enough here. There is also a nice library of used movies as well, if you’re looking to add to your library.
Unfortunately, the bad news outweighs the good.
For starters, there are no prices on the items for sale. This adds unnecessary mystery to the shopping experience. It requires almost constant interactivity with the staff on duty, which can be frustrating if you’re looking for prices on multiple games. The next problem is the condition of some of the cartridges and game cases. Dust gets into the cartridges (one cart I saw for sale had corrosion on the contacts) and sunlight damages some of the game cases, diluting the color and making them less of a value for collectors. Finally, there’s only loose organization (by section) for the cartridges, meaning that customers will need to spend some time looking high and low for specific games that they may be looking for.
I do recommend Game Hunters to those who may be looking for older games (NES/​SNES/​Genesis), as there’s a pretty significant selection to be seen here. The recommendation does, however, come with warnings to allow extra time in the shopping experience to search for what you may be looking for and to check the condition of the games you wish to buy before committing to a purchase.

I’ve gone for the retro games which, because of the area, are hit-​and-​miss. However, they do have a pretty good variety and some of the prices are fair (the more popular retro games are priced the equivalent of greed-​bay).
