When looking for a Super Game Boy, a local recommended this place. I had driven past it a number of times in the past, but hadn't thought much of it given it's appearance from the street. I had assumed that they had a focus on skateboards, and that the video games were an afterthought. That they would maybe have one cabinet in the back with a few games. I was wrong.

Their selection is immense. I've been in three times now, and spoken with the owner on each visit. He's very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful and friendly. He knows his stuff, and can usually recall stock of an item off-hand.

As far as price is concerned, their third-party hardware and accessories like CRT TVs and controllers are tremendously affordable. Their first party consoles and games are more expensive than something like ebay, but are comparatively cheap to what you'd find in any brick and mortar retro game store.

Cosmetic condition of the cartridges and controllers varies but everything is tested to work before being sold, and you can always inspect the item before you buy.

If you're not sure if they have what you're looking for, go ahead and check them out, or just give them a call. They don't pressure you to buy if you want to come in and look around, and with the size of their selection, they probably have what you need.

Went here to purchase some game controllers and I was about done processing the transaction the owner goes okay (takes the money & goes to the opposite side of the building)

I proceed to ask him "there's no receipt? It's all good?" He said "yeah that's it. Unless you want me to write you one" I respond with yeah I'll take one" he then responds with "You know how long I've been in business? Probably longer than you've been alive, if you have any issue just come back and we will help. How do I know if your money isn't counterfeit?" I just responded "Sir I just asked for a receipt I never claimed your item to not be functional" he responds "okay well ill write you a receipt and if you don't have your original receipt when you return I won't help you"

Horrible. Would rather buy from ebay

Discover a captivating array of Gameboy Advance, Color, and DMG games at this hidden gem of a store. Their commitment to authenticity is unwavering, ensuring you won't find any counterfeit items here claiming to be authentic. Beyond the impressive game selection, they offer an array of systems for sale. I was fortunate to acquire this authentic Gameboy Advance from their selection. While some items might carry a slightly higher price tag compared to online platforms like eBay, the advantage lies in the ability to personally inspect, test, and authenticate your desired items. The prices remain remarkably reasonable for the value offered. If you share a passion for this hobby, I strongly encourage you to pay a visit and make a purchase, supporting this honest local business.

Huge selection and store owner is an awesome guy. A little pricey, but worth a look as they have an excellent selection of games and consoles.

Good customer service not here, "what do u want?" As a greeting. Dude will offer you less than 30% value in trade credit for your items. Bare minimum to beat out gamestop. The old dude running it has 0 connection to the retro gaming community, for your good go elsewhere.

This place is actually very overpriced. Well above ebay and retail. I get physical locations cost more than online but still double pricechart value is insane. They do have a lot of rare stuff and some cabinets with great displays. But I wouldn't come back.

Not your place for retro video games, horrendous prices almost double than any other online source and owner gets rude when questioned about it. Just look somewhere else.?
