Game Shop

Love this spot! Came here not knowing what to expect and left the store with a huge smile on my face. The staff was super friendly and just outright helpful. Moreover, I spent a few minutes talking with Carl, he went above and beyond by offering to help out with a video game class I am currently teaching. I will be emailing him soon. They earned a customer for life here!

The employees are tremendously helpful and definitely knowledgeable. Fixed my laptop & Cell phone the same day. I dropped them off at 12:00 noon (both had shattered screens) ate lunch with a co-​worker and they were fixed and ready in less then an hour!
Unbelievable!

I can not gush enough about how much I loved this place! Carl is insanely helpful and friendly, and the aesthetic of the store is just so inviting. It feels like a great place to just chill and chat with fellow gamers and just have a great time. The selection was fantastic, and the prices were so much more reasonable than what I see back in Houston. I love this place! I really hope I get to come back again soon!

Been here a couple of times and went again today and did not disappoint. Good selection of games at decent prices. I bundled up on a few games and got a bit of a discount. Great staff too. They also have a CD buffer if you have a scratched up game. Great store overall.

Very friendly staff and I felt incredibly welcome. Even though it’s not the largest store, it was definitely a delight to see some vintage items and they were priced appropriately. Recommended!

Cool place exccelent selection brought me back to my kids days very affordablw carls awesome

I’m not changing stars or anything, but I sure wish they didn’t turn out to have closed randomly for «lunch» at like 3pm when I’ve just put quarters into the parking meter. So, like, maybe always call ahead to make sure somebody will be around ;-)

I bought a used game system and came back to exchange it since it wasn’t working properly. They were kind enough to let us test out the system when the store was closing in 10mins. The store was well organized from the last time I came by. This is a great place to find your past childhood game systems!

Good selection of games/​hardware. Haven’t seen too many vintage gaming shops that had as many consoles, controllers, AV cables, etc. like this place, and I’ve been to quite a few shops along the peninsula. I would have liked to have seen more SNES games however, the only drawback to my visit. Otherwise, worth checking out for new school and old school gamers.
P. S. I appreciated their willingness to test the game I bought before letting me walk out the door with it. Definitely NOT the case at most video game shops.

I picked up a complete n64 and Ocarina of Time here over the summer and I couldn’t be happier. Worked perfectly and they included a controller. The times listed here were not the same as when I visited. I came around 2 but they were out to lunch. Still would come back in the near future!

This place is great. I’ve been to several retro game stores in the area and this by far one of the better ones. I’ve been here a couple of times now and the selection is pretty decent, unfortunately like most places the more popular and rarer titles are hard to find here too. And the prices are fair, better than most shops around that charge like x5 times the average price. But this place is great when it comes to trades so everything really balances out well.
The shop is ran by knowledgable people that are fun to just talk to. This visit, they had some things I needed and another item I wasn’t expecting to find here! Definitely will come by again in the near future.

I felt like the selection was really lacking everytime I came in, and prices were a bit higher then most shops around the bay on most titles when I came to visit over the past year.
However, there is always room for improvement and I feel that people should at least give this shop a good chance and talk to the owner because I do feel it could be made better. I liked the owner with some brief small talks but never really got into some good gamer talk. I’m hopeful that the prices are a bit more normal the next time I come in.

Carl is a great guy and makes the shop very welcoming. Their good stuff teens to be behind the glass case or counter so make sure to ask someone if what you’re looking for may be behind there. Also, everything is priced pretty low.

This shop is really, really great. There are a lot of old games, and systems, in good repair. Everything is incredibly fairly priced. The owner and his coworkers are knowledgeable and friendly, talking to them was both helpful and a blast!
Besides games/​systems, they have some collectibles, old videos, and animé. There were some great classics, and they had tester systems for the games. They also let you check the systems to make sure everything worked.
I am very happy I found this place, and I am definitely going to go back often.

This place is awesome! Went here recently because I had heard they had gamecube games and at first I was a little skeptical because I’d heard mixed reviews and it’s in a basement, but it’s totally cool. We accidentally came in very close to closing time, but the staff was very sweet about it and didn’t make us feel rushed. I ended up buying like 6 gamecube games, they had even better prices than Amazon (and a better return policy-​store credit!). I have a very limited knowledge of video games (only nintendo) and I’m female, but the staff was helpful and definitely NOT condescending when making recommendations. I love the vibe too, somehow it’s got that local game store/​comic book type atmosphere. :)

Great game shop. I took my son to this place to get the game he couldn’t find from three different places. When we walking in to this place I thought we were gonna come out empty handed. But I was wrong. My son found the game he was looking for; not only that he also got two new games to try it for free for two days…

Pretty cool place. They have lots of retro Nintendo thing I’ve been looking for. Carl is cool as hell. They are not overpriced as Gameworld.

Honestly man, if you’re looking for a system, a game, accessories or anything, come here. Carl is easy to talk to, will work with you on prices and knows his stuff when it comes to systems and what you may or may not need. His Co worker is pretty cool too and will be willing to help just as much. Great place to go for anything electronic. They have it all.

Pretty decent collection of games. Controllers for systems seem pretty worn but I’m sure you’d get a deal for what you’re looking for cos the owner works with you to get it for a price that fits your range.
I was able to use the $ 20 for $ 10 Unilocal voucher so I got a good deal. The owner is pretty cool too and will talk about video games with you. I like running into people like this when I’m out looking for games.
I couldn’t give it 5 cos I wish the collection of snes games was bigger and they had more rare titles. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if people are snatching them up already.
Pretty cool store. I’ll be back to see what else comes in.

I love this place. I was a little wary when my boyfriend initially asked me to go with him, I’m not a hardcore gamer even though I play about everyday, and I don’t really like the area. My tune immediately changed when I hit the last step. (it’s in a basement!) Classic systems and consoles fill a glass case, movies, games, controllers and wires fill the walls.
The people who work there (we have just seen 2 I think?) are so nice. I’m a girl who knows a lot about games that aren’t like, halo or COD, and they have been nothing but respectful to me, didn’t talk to me like I’m an idiot and are socially ept, something that I really didn’t see at my local game shops in my hometown. It was nice to talk about the kinda of games I like (adventure, rpg, puzzle, and a little more obscure/​foreign games) with them too!
They always try to give us pretty good deals because we stop by at least once a week, so I like that they remember us and we have a relationship. The prices range from really cheap to about game stop price for more current popular games.
Every time I go, I find something new, whether it’s a game I’ve been coveting, or a silly game from my childhood. They also have really REALLY old stuff like, intellivison games in their original packaging! pretty useless but beautiful looking and a piece of history, or old sailormoon and pokemon VHS, and old OLD consoles.
The only thing is sometimes selection can be lacking, but that’s only because customers need to trade more! We haven’t tried that service (I’ll update my review as soon as I do) but we are really excited to put some good titles in the pool (so trade your good stuff for it so we can buy more!)
I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an interesting experience, good customer service and fun games.
