One more for the Street Fighter nerds -- SF4 "fight school" every Sunday & Thurs, 7pm, $10 buy in. #BYOController Solid spot to get back up to speed if, say, you plan on entering a tournament soon.

Marcus is the best! My kids are in heaven...he's been so helpful and helped fix my sons games also supplied quarters and candy canes!! Great selection and the boys got to try out several games.

Dens

Okay, so the Street Fighter 2 Turbo machine is *signed by* Justin Wong -- SF legend and runner up World Champion. (Google "Diago Parry" or "Evo 37" for whole story)

Chris Raghoobar

This super cool store has video games and consoles from all eras of gaming. Whether you're old or new school, this is the spot for you.

Dens

Not only is there a coin-op SF2 Champion Edition machine in the front, but I wandered in late one night and there were 15 dudes sitting around playing SF4 on Xbox in the back. This place is legit.

Nader Nouraee

A haven for retro gamers . Has all the charm of a stoner's dorm room. A little overpriced but worth stopping in just for the nostalgic head rush. And be sure to pray before the life size Lara Croft.

Brandon McGraw

This place is great! Good selection of old school games with plenty of new stuff too. Staff is as friendly as you need them to be. Has gotten some tough reviews on Yelp but I've had great experiences.

Jon Steinback

they have a coin operated 'street fighter 2: turbo edition' tucked away in the back. just never play as zangief...

Ben Huff

Excellent place to hang if you don’t have a girlfriend. Also possibly the largest collection of Sega CD games in one location in 2017

Dave Hohn

They fixed my Atari 2600 for cheaper then I could find the part, and real fast. I also buy DS, GBA games and cheap DVDs. They can fix any gaming console from any era, and they don't charge allot.

This place has a very friendly staff ,Very down to earth. They are a game store carrying anything from Retro games to The NEWEST and latest game titles out there. Come check out this place if you are a

Ben Gage

Some good games for sure but I definitely saw some GBA bootlegs which kinda sucks to see them willingly sell. Place could stand to be a little brighter and friendlier too.

Alex Robertson

Play street fighter and tekken on the consoles

Spencer Parente

Awesome selection. Cheaper than videogames NYC around the corner. Marcus is the man.

Yannick Lewis

Just about every old system and game ever. An 80s and 90s kid's heaven

Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!

I still have my Atari 2600 and the games. I haven't been there yet, does anyone know how much the Atari 2600 games go for? I'm interested in buying some.

Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!

Also have my SNES, and would like to know prices on them also... :0)

Geuris Rivas

Lots of old school video game heaven

Casey

Incredibly rude staff ! They are actively offensive, sneering and rolling their eyes at you and lecturing you. Dingy, unclean facility. Poorly laid-out, with safety hazards.

Ahmed Al

The store has a big inventory, but the prices are very high.

Gloriann Chhouth

Stop by every FRIDAY for game sessions at 8 bit & up.

Steff Hind

The place has moved and they have not even changed their address. Stuff was very unfriendly and unprofessional.

It's a Street Fighter dojo up on here.

Chris Gsell

Mad old school games

Chad Stoller

It's nerdy up there.

Tom Trombley

No customer service. Overpriced. This store sucks!
