Game Adx

I was given Nintendo 64 unit around Christmas time last year purchased from ADX. I played it a couple times and it worked just fine. I tried to play it the other day and experienced it freezing after being on for no more than 5 min or so. I took my unit it today and after explaining the situation to the shop owner the gentleman refused to help me and would not look at it. He would not test my product or help me in any way. The customer service I experienced today was unacceptable and I warn anyone who is looking to buy any gaming system or products to STAY AWAY from this establishment.

I stepped in the store with my mom I always go pass the store when I go to the beach so whenever my first time going there the employee is talking to his friends or something because he wait hi then went back to talking didn’t offer help or anything then I ask him a question then in the rudest way he says NO!!!

I couldn’t be more happy to finally step into the shop! My husband is a huge gamer and we pass by this business when there’s traffic on I-​5 (which is all the time lol).
The place is pretty jam packed but with a wide selection! What really made me put a 5 star rating was the customer service. I love supporting small business owners and the fact John sat down with me and my husband and shared delightful conversations and background on him and his business truly made a connection. I am excited to make Game ADX part of our weekend outing! I can’t wait to buy more games for my husband hahahaha

I love stopping by at this game store whenever im around the area. The owner is super cool! Everytime I stop by there, he is very friendly and always helps out. I have bought so many games at this store and they all work just great.

Avoid this scam artist and take your business elsewhere. The rotund proprietor’s hurried, condescending attitude and demeanor was only worsened by the unheard-​of prices he wants for games. $ 79 for a copy of Super Mario All-​Stars? Anyone can pick that up for $ 25 on eBay, and eBay is pretty much retail these days. Save your time, gas, and money and do not let this walrus rob you blind!

Complete rip off on selling games here brought in a game that had box and all didn’t think much of it. Sold it to him for 20 to come to find out he was selling it super overpriced … And horrible service by the way … Take your game and go buy somewhere else not here …

Sad to see the 1 star reviews… My experience here was awesome and worth a 5 star rating. My boyfriend and I walked in not knowing exactly what we wanted and the guy behind the counter took the time to listen to our childhood stories and help pick out the perfect setup. The prices make sense for what you get including a guarantee, I watched him clean and test all 6 of the games we wanted and I’m confident they will work for a while more.
On a different note, I really appreciated the dude behind the counters ability to let it slide if I made a mistake on something geek or game related, I told alot of «back in my day stories» and I put my foot in mouth a couple times trying to seem knowledgeable and he didn’t jump at the chance to correct me or act superior (comic book guy from Simpsons anyone?) That in itself made the purchasing a pleasure.

Just came from game ADX looking for a specific item called the zapper for the nes. appears that they have a bunch of zappers but are not «cleaned» and in working condition… what’s the point of putting something out that’s visible to the public if it’s not going to be available? I suggest that you call them before you go because we drove an hour to get there. Waste of time.

Rude, rude Rude! Had the game we are looking for and can’t find ! But I could rather step on glass than give this man a penny! My young son and I where treated like garbage because I asked a question about the game! Obviously this jerk doesn’t need customers (good for him)!

The guy working there seemed nice but the outrageous prices and unorganized merchandise makes it worse than gamestop. Games that normally run for $ 5 on Amazon or eBay go for at LEAST $ 25 here. This place has amazing potential, so maybe under different management it could easily be 5 stars.

Sadly, Game ADX is pretty much par for the course as far as used game places go. Small, poorly lit, and covered in a thin film of dust. I came in last year to browse for some Gameboy games, only to be greeted by absurd prices like Donkey Kong Land for $ 15. The crown jewel in their absurd pricing scheme was a copy of Earthbound for $ 269. Yes, you read that right. That’s almost double what it sells for on eBay. I totally understand that game are becoming more valuable as they become more scarce. But stores like Game ADX take gouging customers to new heights. I totally understand that running a brick and mortar store involves overhead costs, but you can’t just pass those on to the customer entirely. It’s a shame to think so many great games are in the hands of sad, middle aged neckbeards who want to hoard them for profit rather than, you know, actually play them. Many of these stores are run by manchildren who think they can substitute their hobby for an income source, and as long as we continue to patronize their stores, they will be just that.

I’ve shopped at Game ADX for the last five years. I’ve bought a NES, games and accessories. Nothing but respect and good praise on the equipment and customer service.

Just called to see if they had some games in, the person who answered was a total dick and short with me. They lost my business within 30 second.
Refuse to help and support a local business with customer service like this.

Okay as a gamer this place is great. It has all the games from about anything from the year 2007 and below. Nothing current which is great if you are a nostalgia gamer. The downside is the guy is a real jerk. I bought a bunch of games there and he was always friendly but had a «know it all» attitude. Then I went in to buy a game for $ 16 and it ended up not working with my system when I got home. He said he wouldn’t let me return it or exchange it for something that worked so I definable feel like he just stole from me. Completely unprofessional and a very poorly run business.

Great selection of games but WAAAAAYYYY overpriced. The guy working there was also pretty rude to my daughter and I so don’t expect ANY customer service. $ 89 for Super Mario All Stars… ridiculous!!! It’s like he’s hoarding video games and he gets pissed when he gets a customer. I really wanted to support this small business but I will never come here again.

My first console was a SNES, and I love going to video game stores that have older games. I have had this place booked marked for forever, but Luna Video Games is about 13 miles closer. I finally took the time to go the extra distance and I can easily say I will never come here again. First of all, many of the games are QUADRUPLE what you will find online. They are easily DOUBLE or TRIPLE many local stores. It is outrageous. The owner claims the premiums are worth it, because he tests each game. Luna does the same, and they offer a guarantee.
I tried to make small talk with the owner, and he was nothing short of a major a hole. The one star is due solely to how rude he is. Furthermore, he brags his personal collection is close to 3,000 games but he admits that he has only played many of those games for a couple hours before placing them in a bin never to be seen again. He severely hates on great fan websites like
. The worst part is his negative attitude. He believes that younger gamers shouldn’t play games that are older than them!
Stay far away unless your pockets are over flowing with money and you enjoy being harassed.

I went in and immediately got a rude response. I asked if I could plug in my sega genesis just to see if it turned on and he immediately cut me off and said No! With the most jerk attitude ever. I also took a box of unopened sega games to check the value and he said he would only value them if I sold them. How can you expect someone to go in to sell something without knowing the value first. I was an interested customer and wanted to pick up some new games and needed some new adapters for my Sega and my super Nintendo. I went in happy but left the store one minute after entering with my day ruined. Terrible customer service. I highly do not recommend ever going to this place.

I’ve been coming to this place ever since I could hold a controller and this store has the most AWESOME collection of old-​school games and accessories. This is THE place to come check out if you want games that range from current gen all the way back to the originals like Atari, Famicom/​Nintendo, and Colecovision.
I realize that some of the stuff he has can be found online, but it’s usually hit or miss with the quality of the games. At least here you know that the owner makes sure that his gear is almost always in the mint quality. You DEFINITELY want to come check out this place as soon as you can.

This store sells video games for every game system I can think of! However some of the games are pretty over priced. You can find them cheaper on eBay! Their staff wasn’t the nicest but they were very helpful and suggested us buying a kit to fix our Super Nintendo controllers rather then buying the fake ones they sell now. Now we are able to play all those awesome games from back in the day again! Might come back here if I really need to!

Been coming here ever since I was a kid. It’s really cool to have a resource like this in oceanside, I really don’t like dealing with gamestop.
The coolest thing about this store is the cool Japanese knockoff consoles you can get to play old cartriges. You can’t find these things ANYWHERE else.
