One of the best stores I've visited in a long time. It's truly a hidden gem and a must for any retro gamer to check out. The owners are wonderful people who have been doing this for a long time and will sit and chat about games all day while also working on repairing consoles. Their approach on the experience of buying at their store is something I respect and has won me as a customer. Highly recommend.

A delightful local game shop. They've got a large selection of classic games and hardware. The prices are great, and the store is clean and very well organized. It's a bit of a detour if you're driving down I-40, but certainly worth the stop if you're in the market for games. I'm glad I made the stop and walked away with some cool finds for the Dreamcast, Xbox, and PS2!

Such a cool store! Not easy to find as it is in a residential area, but its easy to see their sign. By far the best collection I've seen for sale, and their main business is actually restoring retro games, and consoles. I traveled an hour to get there and it was definitely worth it. Very nice people, and loved their pet cat. They even tested the SEGA Saturn I bought from them in front of me! 10/10

Does your console have an issue? Take it here, no questions asked.I took my Xbox series X in with a broken fan.They had my console fixed in an hour.As a matter of fact, the repair took less time than the back and forth conversation I had with Microsoft customer support.The price for the repair was very reasonable.They explained what happened to it, why it happened and even gave me tips on how to prolong the life of my console.On top of the phenomenal work, they were extremely friendly and have an excellent selection of games (retro and new) Action figures, Pokémon cards and additional hardware for your consoles.This place is a hidden treasure!

Took my Xbox One here to get it fixed because it wasn’t reading disks. They were super knowledgeable and friendly. They got the xbox fixed up in a day and it works great. I would definitely recommend this place for shopping and console repair.

I go to a lot of Retro game stores and this place was awesome. They do repairs and hardware mods as well. The space was super clean and organized. I also liked that you could see their repair stations. That stuff is just cool to watch. The consoles and games for sale looked cleaned and as close to new as they could were gonna get. They also had a good selection of hard to find consoles and games. I found some game gear games I never see out like Star Wars and a few different rumble pack games for gbc. So glad I stumbled upon this place. It was above average for sure. I will be back.

I had been waiting for over a year to find someone who could fix my xbox controller and this guy fixed it in less than 5 minutes! His shop is clean and very inviting and he was so pleasant and knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning for any of my gaming needs.

Oh my goodness this place is wonderful! Very neat and well kept. Such a variety of games and knick knacks and very cozy inside. I messed up my Xbox controller taking it apart and I put it back together wrong and broke it. The guy fixed it SO fast and it works perfect! Very nice customer service and just a pleasant visit overall. I'm definitely going back.

The man knows what he is doing he is a Genius when it come to consoles he know what he is doing. If you were to ask me to rate my experience out of 10 and 10 being the best i give them a 10. By the way this was my first time i will go back if i have to. And the price is very reasonable

Bought a refurbished PS4 controller today and a small collectors toy! Very amicable and sweet employees, and a good selection of games (both retro and new ones) as well as other collectible items. Also, they got a real cute rooster.

The store was pretty cool until I started asking prices on things. I started asking prices on all the Pokemon stuff. The old lady there said to me “there’s no room for reselling at our store….” I thought it was very rude and unprofessional that you thought I was a reseller when in reality I’m just here to try to collect a few things. All of their stuff is overpriced and their customer service is terrible. How can you assume someone’s a reseller and I’ve only been in your store for five minutes and all I’m doing is asking you prices on things. Id never set foot in this place again. They ask way over eBay comps. that’s why all that stuff still sitting in the case. The Pokémon hype has gone down. it is not 2020 anymore stop asking these crazy prices for Pokémon stuff. Even the singles of Pokémon cards you had were way too overprice especially for the conditions you had them in. Save yourself the hassle.

Great experience. The guy in there is nice and a great gamer might I add. Come check it out. When you pull up it looks like a car garage and that's the spot. Wall to wall oldies, retro and a few antiques if you look with the right eye. I will definitely be going here in the future. A hidden gem if I've ever known one.

This place gives me storage for selling on eBay kind of vibe. When I asked a question about something I've never heard of, the response from the guy was just horrible. If I want the same ambiance I could order from ebay. Not organized to where you can actually see what they have really. More like a tech junk store.
