    The nostalgia of this place just took me back as there's not alot of places around that sell all the types of systems like atari and the game cubes.....I deem this place as a DIMAOMD IM THE ROUGH for sure as there's such an immense amount of value for anyone that misses the old days of gaming.

    My beautiful drum kit.  I'm ready to play. Thank you Andrew.  Cap 'n Games. Julie Atlas

    I came into Cap'n Games today because as a drummer, I always wanted to play Rock band and Guitar Hero. I owned the drum kit but didn't know if it worked. I had an Xbox 360 but didn't know if the system worked and didn't know if it was compatible with my drum kit. It was. I needed a new drum peddle and sticks. I also bought a guitar hero guitar which was also for the Xbox 360. I wanted to compliment Andrew for the most amazing customer service ever!!! Today I felt like a kid getting my first gaming system which is pretty true. I have dreamed of playing these games since my daughter played this game when she was a kid. She is 22 and I am 64. I also had wonderful help from Anthony, Jenna and store manager Shawn. It takes a village. What a great store. Thank you Andrew for your outstanding customer service, Jenna cleaning my drum kit, Anthony cleaning my guitar. Thank you Andrew for showing me how to play on the kit and the guitar and teaching me so many things about my own gaming system. This was more fun then buying a car. I am so proud to be a new customer. Your prices were so fair. Thank you again Andrew...you taught me so much today. See you again. Julie Atlas, Brand new gamer!!!

    Capn Games is a great store for retro games. They are fair in trades and their selection always changes. Support local. A+

    I believe it's under new ownership and customer service has improved. Nice clean and organized game store.

    This store is just trash. Most of the crap they push does not even work. Stick to GameStop.

    Retro replay is the video game store where you wanna be!…read morePersonally I like them better than GameStop and other shops. But... I grew up with the N64, game Boy color/Advance, Xbox, & PS2 though. Great selection. Great prices. Friendly staff.

    Hands down the best place in the Carson/Reno area for older and newer games and consoles! Once you…read morewalk in the store, you are greeted by not only friendly staff and excellent service, but an overwhelming display of games and consoles that range from the old NES to the newer ones today. The owner is very passionate about gaming, and has a personal collection that I could only dream to have. I've had many a great conversation about games we've played, and our own personal favorites. Overall, this is my favorite place to go for games. If you are looking for retro games & consoles, then this is the place for you. They will even let you return a game if it doesn't work in your console, and will trade it with another one free of cost. Lastly, they are a one-stop-shop and they carry all of the accessories you may have forgotten about (like cords, memory cards galore, and cases for handhelds). I bet you forgot all about the rumble pack for you N64 controller, or the core memory expansion that you need to play certain games. Whatever it is retro, you name it, they have it. If you have any questions, they can answer them. And if you are looking for a specific game they do not have in stock, then no worries, just be sure to sign up at the store with your name and phone number and the owner will call you when the game is in Update: last review I left pretty much was a gush session. And this update isn't honestly any different. If you want to find friendly staff, decent prices, and amazing selection of retro games. Come here... this is hands down my favorite place to come to for retro games and customer service. Nick the owner is such a great guy and very knowledgeable about everything retro. THIS STORE DOESNT OVER INFLATE PRICES I hate going to a "retro game store" just to find out they are basically a pawn shop trying to gut you on every sale. Retro Replay is my favorite game store, been going here for years and I hope to continue coming here for years to come! Gaming is my life, besides family and work. It's my passion and hobby, and I can't think of a store like this one that combines customer service with the best pricing. Love you guys always

And trade-in credits? Let's talk about that too... If you trade in something as a Pro member, it's totally worth it for the extra credit you receive. At my most recent visit I traded a Nintendo Switch prior to the OLED version and it was in pristine condition. I brought it to them in its original box, all original accessories, my joycons non-drifting, and had a screen protector on it. The guy who helped me was impressed and did a quick functionality test, saw the battery was in tact and not losing power fast and offered me the full quoted amount in cash. I wish I could have turned the money around there because I would have gotten more in store credit but I was applying this to a new purchase of an upgraded device already made. Anyway, perfect experience, and even with the small wait I encountered, it was worth the time and effort here. I like this store every time I go in!

They have new and used books as well within a reasonable price point. I found lots of great educational books from my preschooler. I even find coloring books and other things they are interested it.

If you please. Parking lot is there, but as they are popular can get crowded. Overall its a wonderful place that we visit so often.

With the loss…read moreof Zephyr Books many years ago and the Book Gallery in Sparks, there just aren't enough quality used bookstores any longer. Grassroots Books is a very good used bookstore with a lot of variety of material-- children's books, DVD's, some records, gently used paperback and hardcover books. Hours are flexible for when they are open, however, they only buy books on Thursdays during the afternoon. I have never been tempted much to sell anything to them over the years, as they tend to be quite choosy with the material that they want and don't want. As a longtime book collector, this is important to maintaining a quality used stock and helps with inventory management. I highly recommend Grassroots for your next book adventure!
