The Emporium of Retro Toys is such a fun and unique place to visit! Even if retro toys aren't…read moreusually your thing, this store really has something for everyone and all ages. If you are into nostalgic collectibles, then you'll absolutely love it -- it's nostalgia galore. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with the question: "Who remembers?" -- and that really sets the tone for the whole experience. Everywhere you look there's something that takes you back in time. The owners are awesome and very friendly, which makes the visit even better. I'm also especially grateful for the 10% discount they give my son when he does a great job at school -- such a thoughtful and encouraging gesture for kids. The store itself is neat, organized, and packed with things to explore. There's so much to look at that you could spend a long time just walking around remembering old favorites. The prices vary across different ranges, so there's something affordable for everyone. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I stopped in here on my lunch break because one of my co-workers said it was worth a visit. They…read morewere right, this place is awesome, unlocked so many memories of my childhood as I walked through and browsed the vast selection and variety of stuff they have, pricing is reasonable and fair. The staff was pleasant, and they seem to have forged a solid foundation around themselves with their customers. The Owner of the shop makes daily updates on Facebook as well, you can tell this is a true passion for them. Every community needs a place like this!! Can't wait to visit again.

They also have things you would have trouble finding elsewhere. You can visit them one week, and the next week they have more great stuff in. I haven't been a frequent customer at the other retro gaming stores in the area because it's always the same products. Boom Boom always has new and exciting things, so they're worth the frequent visits. They price things fairly, and their rewards program gives you opportunities to save money with points redemption. Every dollar counts! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They constantly run events in store. The owner, Ben, runs an Easter Egg Hunt around Billerica with prizes. My children love it and look forward to it annually! Boom Boom just recently did a Christmas raffle, and for Thanksgiving they did a Turkey Shoot (nerf gun to an electronic target) to determine percentage off the purchase. They keep things fresh and give everyone a chance to get involved in the fun. It's obvious how much the Ben cares and is passionate about the store, and the customers who frequent it. They're also very active on socials to keep everyone informed on the latest updates. I've recently them doing unboxing videos. They have been interesting to watch to get a first look at what's coming in. I am a collector of all things retro gaming, and Boom Boom games is where most of my items come from. Not to mention they have clothing items, retro toys to make you feel nostalgic, and it's not my thing, but they have a substantial wrestling toy and item collection. They also get video games and consoles in pretty quickly. I've gone there on the day of releases before to get games ahead of the crowd. This hasn't been an issue for them. Me and my family will definitely be back there often, as each one of us finds things we love at Boom Boom.

I'm mobile to to be able to switch to a cane for a short time, but that limits how long I can spend anywhere. The store is very tiny and cramped.

Yesterday I took my 10 year old grandson the store on State Rd in Dartmouth. While in the store he…read moresuddenly turned to me and said he was "feeling woozy". I could tell by the look on his face that something was about to "come up". I immediately turned to one of the two store employees and said "we need to use the rest room really fast". He looked at me and said "we don't have public restrooms". I told him that my grandson was sick and about to throw up "any second". Mind you, my grandson had his hand covering his mouth. The urgency was obvious. Again the employee said "we don't have public restrooms but Metro Pizza next door does". We immediately headed for the door. Just as I began to open the door he barffed inside all over the floor right at the entrance/exit. Sweet, sweet karma! Listen, guys at Games to Gold, I understand policy but sometimes ya just gotta bend the rules a little. This was one of those times. Maybe next time you'll think and won't have a mess to clean up.

The staff is knowledgeable, but some are aloof on their phones at times. Great place for some old arcade machines but mostly catering to Japanese style arcade with DDR and other similar machines.

The selection is the definition of "a little bit of this and a little of that" because he is most likely to have games for the mainstream systems but the amount might be limited the more rare and niche it is but that is not the fault of the store. The value is a little over normal market price but that is okay compared to many other stores I went to which were more expensive. BUT the big problem I have with this store is the hours. I know the owner is having some medical problems but I think that these hours are way too short! I recommend moving the hours from 3-6 if you want to get the most customers in my opinion because you can get student customers who come from school after 2:00 and workers who finish their 9-5 jobs. But in conclusion the store is great but the hours is its biggest flaw.

My Daughter Lilly loves the Princesses and immediately asked politely for a Cat Power up Princess Peach plush . One of my Son Luke's first words was "Bowser" Well we already have two Different Bowser plushes so I got him One of the Koopa kids . Fair price for how rare they are .
