This place is great and has a ton of retro games! Purchased a wii with GameCube capability, and it works great! Staff is super friendly, and if they don't have what you are looking for, they put you on a list and will let you know once it arrives! Best retro store I've been at.

Place is great. I went in looking for a few specific games. Sadly they didnt have them, but the person working checked and double checked on each game I asked about. Even still the selection was good and I was able to find a couple of things that I was happy with. The service was amazing and will definitely be going back

Absolutely great place! As a big fan of the video game / console reselling community, and a member myself, I love coming into this shop as often as I can. They have stellar boba tea, tons of consoles, too many games to count, and loads of anime/video game odds and ins! The customer service is never a let down, top of the line quality product really! A must stop if you’re looking to grow your own collection or maybe even find some games for friends or family! If I could give it, this place is for sure a 10/5 stars!!!

I'm seriously impressed and stoked! Took in late 90s and early 2000s ps1 and ps2 games as a quote. Didn't really think much about it plus didn't know much on price or value. When I got the quote it turned out way better then I thought and I was able to get my uncle and house hold set up. Thank you for the help and great customer service. You all Rock! 👍👍

Best store in the entire world. Everyone should go in here because it is generally an amazing place to go and get things that you think that you don't want but you must have. Go to Kontraband retro games, it is the best place in the world to shop

Tons of vintage games and consoles. If you like Funko Pop definitely check this place out. They also have some cool Legos, etc. Overall very cute. Will be a difficult location, but if you're into vintage games I suggest checking it out. They had Xbox 360, game boys, game cubes, computer games and more.

Stopped in to browse and was really impressed with the selection and the realistic pricing. Great small business feeling and was invited in and treated well by the owner's Mom who was manning the store while the owner was at high school wrestling practice. That's right the owner took the time created by online learning last year due to the covid shutdown to start a successful business. I wish I had the opportunity to meet the owner because it is a quite remarkable what he has accomplished. Highly recommend this shop for any of your gaming needs. Consoles, peripherals, retro games and even current generation games. Great selection and great prices.

I'm going to give 5 stars because I love this place. I'm here now on a Wednesday, it's 1pm. It's not open. I'm sad.

Best game store in town!Good prices, great offers if you're looking to sell. Customer service is always fantastic! They now have a drink area as well so that's cool!

The guy at the counter wasn't friendly and they put stickers on the back of the cheap game cartridges which was annoying to get off. The sticky residue from the sticker almost ruined the cartridges ability to go in my console until I finally figured out I could carefully get it off with rubbing alcohol. In conclusion not a bad store, but I just had a bad experience overall the first time.

I love this place! Reasonable prices, a friendly team, and a fun vibe to walk into. That's only going to get better soon with their addition of a boba bar! I got to help them test some flavors and I'm definitely looking forward to hanging out there, drinking their final product, eating some Asian snacks and buying some Retro games :) Definitely drop by!!

Love this place! They’ve got a bit of something for anyone who likes games. My only gripe is that it can be hit or miss as of late on whether or not they have the console you are looking for. I don’t fault them, as it’s not something they can control (hence the 5 star review), but I was hoping to find a PS2, backwards compatible PS3 (or even a regular PS3 for that matter), or an original Xbox. Sadly they didn’t have any in stock. Will check beach in a couple weeks though, definitely recommend them over GameStop or any other corporate chain!

Solid selection for sure. I got to pick up a childhood favorite N64 game, and Mason gave me all the help I needed getting sorted on a GBA. He went above my needs, and I'll definitely be back when nostalgia calls.

Owner and crew is very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Prices are fair. They just started selling anime items, boba, and snacks! I recommend coming here if you are looking for vintage games and consoles.

They're moving soon, so hopefully that means business is good! Excited to see what the new place looks like. Great prices for trade-ins and good selection of retro stuff.

I met Daniel and his girlfriend at dinner one time. Than that led to me finding out about his game store and ever since than he has been kind and generous on all the games I buy from him. I only buy from him now. I 100% recommend this store

This is my favorite store and I've loved it ever since I walked in for the first time. You can tell the owner really knows what he's doing by the accurate pricings and the incredible stock. Not only does it feature newer games, but it also features many retro games, consoles and memorabilia from as far back as the 80s. Living in Corvallis my whole life I've always wished for a store like this and I'm so glad there finally is one.
