When these guys moved from their old location to larger also closer I felt like it was important to finally check it out. They have a good thing going on here! While this is primarily a gaming store, with options ranging from old school Nintendo to newer platforms that my kids talk about, but I've never heard of... Never thought that day would come - They also have some additional items for sale including Legos and other gaming paraphernalia - i.e anime character figurines They do buy games for cash or store credit and seem to be pretty on top of how much things go for. I was most impressed by some of the old school Nintendo stuff they have including some very early artificial intelligence gaming stuff including the Robotic Operating a Buddy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.O.B.) and some great full systems. A lovely trip down memory lane! The guys working here are knowledgeable and friendly, and were very Gracious and letting my kids touch about 90% of the items in the store. Definitely a good spot to check out if you're into gaming or think you might like gaming! read more

I love the selection for video games and movies! There's many various video games from many different consoles, and there's also a lot of different movies to choose from at a great price, and there's also some tv show series collections that have very cool cases and containers for some shows! read more

I love this game store! I go here to get games for my Gameboy and my DS. Almost every time I have a sleepover with my friend I go there and get a movie. They are so cheap! They are usually ninety-ninety cents! The guys who own it are really nice and once gave me a discount on a game I didn't bring enough money for. I give this a five star. read more

Don't you love when you bring up a couple things and it takes about 30 mins for him to look up and price up items in front of your face. The things i found had prices on them already and he raised everything. Do not come to this place. Horrible prices read more

Employees were very nice and game prices were about average. Found some games I was looking for and had a good time finding them! Would recommend! read more

My daughter is 3 years old and wants to play video games. I bought a used Nintendo switch lite for my daughter at their store with "crash bandicoot racing,", "unicorn princess" and "animal crossing". She did not want "animal crossing" or "crash bandicoot" within four hours and they would not let me return video games a three year old cannot comprehend. read more

way overpriced and the owner knows it. i think he enjoys ripping off people in the community. they look up prices online and double them. then when you question them they like to make you feel stupid. i went there to trade in a couple consoles and couldn't have felt more disappointed. they have no customer service and are rude. i will not be returning. shop online. read more

Over priced, when your prices are above Ebay, there's a problem. When you have 20 copies of Mario/Duck Hunt, can you really charge 15 bucks for that? Or 30 for a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 when you have a huge stack? Mario/Duck Hunt is a five dollar game max. These reseller Ebay prices are what's ruining the video game collecting hobby. Even worse is when prices are above reseller Ebay prices. I'll not be returning, if I can get a game cheaper through Ebay, Ebay, I'll just go that route or keep checking Craigslist. Just because something is retro doesn't mean it's a treasure. Super Mario Bros 3 is a game everyone who had a NES had. Mario/Duck hunt came with the system in the action bundle. It's all supply and demand, even for older stuff. You cant charge a hundred bucks for something that everyone had and is easily obtainable on the secondary market. I ended up leaving without buying anything. After a drive from Kennewick I left empty handed because I'm not going to support price gouging in the retro market. read more

I see the reviews left by people that are comparing this store to ebay pricing, which is idiotic, you don't have to wait for it to arrive and you get to see and play what you are buying ahead of time. You will NEVER meet a nicer, kinder guy than the dude who works the counter. He loves what he does, is passionate about about gaming and is honest. I've been gaming since before Atari, and I forget stuff now that I'm over 40. It's nice to have a dude warn me before I spend money on a game I thought I remembered being cool. The selection is great, I dropped less than a hundred bucks and left with two sacks of games to start my niece and nephew off on a gamer's history lesson journey. Go in and just kick it, stop next door too, there is a badass Gyro lunch deal for less than seven bucks! I live down the street a few miles, I love dropping in, the turnover on bluray is pretty good and he only really buys the decent stuff. Nao O, someday when you're older you'll appreciate these kinds of stores for other reasons than yard sale prices. A one star review? LOL, did you expect a ten cent foot rub to go with your vision of fair pricing? Pfffft! read more

Amazing selection, friendly employees, and all of the games are immaculately clean! They also trade and buy games, which is awesome! Would highly recommend checking it out! read more

The store has a good selection of old and new consoles and games. All priced well. I spent a great deal of time with my husband and brother checking out the selection of games. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. We bought quite a few games and two old school consoles. I'm sure we will be back again and again. The only issue is the size of the building for the amount of stuff they have. read more

We stopped in while in town visiting my brother. This place came highly recommended, and I can see why. It was so cool to see the favorite games that I played years ago, and newer ones in the same place. My kids bought a few, and Seth was very helpful with suggestions for me. We will make time to go in each time we come to Yakima. Thank you for the great service! read more

My friend and I drove around the city twice waiting for the shop to open as we were excited to see what kind of things they had there. Once the stores actually open and we were able to go inside they seem to have a fairly good selection of old school game and game equipment. The shop owner after they got off the phone and stop talking to each other decided to ask me what we need to know if I could help with anything. I told them that we were looking for are USB to old school game controller connector. The owner seemed shocked and taken aback that we would say something about emulation and he said that we don't support emulation here in our store is it would take away from what we're trying to sell. As I can respect that notion of this I can say that being a former business owner and a frequent customer of used game stores this is not the way you talk to a customer. He then went to lecture me about how if I went to a Humvee dealership I wouldn't ask for a Prius. It seems as though they have a fairly decent selection of old games but I was so put off by the condescending attitude of the people working there that I couldn't leave fast enough and I guarantee I will never be back nor will I refer my friends. And to the people that were working there at this time fyi I I worked for a car dealership and if someone came in asking for a Prius and a Humvee dealership we would find them a Prius. As a business owner your job is to sell customers what they want to try and convince customers that they're idiots. read more
