DensAugust 6, 2014One 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.
Martha DukeDecember 20, 2014Marcus 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.
- DensAugust 6, 2014Okay, 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 RaghoobarDecember 23, 2015This 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.
- DensJuly 29, 2014Not 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 NouraeeJuly 23, 2013A 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.
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 SteinbackApril 12, 2014they have a coin operated 'street fighter 2: turbo edition' tucked away in the back. just never play as zangief...
Ben HuffNovember 28, 2017Excellent 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 HohnApril 20, 2012They 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 GageFebruary 6, 2016Some 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.
Spencer ParenteNovember 20, 2014Awesome selection. Cheaper than videogames NYC around the corner. Marcus is the man.
Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!July 17, 2013I 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.
Stephen UsherApril 13, 2013Came in on a Sat morning the one guy working didnt bother saying hi I asked how he was doing and he looked up from his NintendoDS for just a second to stare at me for one sec before looking back down- Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!July 17, 2013Also have my SNES, and would like to know prices on them also... :0)

CaseyNovember 17, 2015Incredibly 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.
- Stop by every FRIDAY for game sessions at 8 bit & up.
- Foti DimFebruary 27, 2014The place has moved and they have not even changed their address. Stuff was very unfriendly and unprofessional.
