    This place was amazing, but sadly. They went out of business years ago. Really odd seeing them on here.

    We used to check this place out quite a bit but once the board game guys moved out we realized they…read morewere the super friendly employees we had mentioned before. They have a cool selection of pinball machines to play but you can easily go through money faster than you'd hope.

    We were in Lima for a cross country meet. After we "dined" at, naturally, Kewpee's, I, naturally,…read moresearched yelp for "arcade." Cartridge Gaming was a fantastic and unexpected find. This business started out by selling old and used cartridges for almost every (major) gaming console ever made. The owner has an enormous, almost unbelievable, selection of games you played, games you wish you had played, and some games that you've probably never heard of. What a trip down memory lane. Yeah, the owner had a nice little business selling game an outstanding variety of game console cartridges...and then he got bit by the pinball bug. So, in his store, he has 24 pinball machines, three cabaret style machines (Galaga, Centipede, Ms.Pac Man), two multigame machines (an iCade 60 gamer, and another that features about 100? vertical scrolling Japanese "maniac shooters..." if those are your thing. There's a Crazy Taxi game, too). The pins range in price from 12.5 cents per play (two credits for a quarter, arithmetic wiz), to a buck per play. Here's the key...every game that I played was in good or excellent condition! What an cool variety of games, he has. Newest game? Jurassic Park (2019) by Stern. Flagship game? Dialed In (2017) Limited Edition by Jersey Jack; that's a $9000 dollar machine. Mike P's favorite game? FirePower (1980) by Williams...25 cents per play...just like the machine at Little Cesar's Pizza on Suder Avenue...back in 1980. For an added bonus, ask him to see the collection of video game consoles and microcomputer stuff that he has in his back room. Another trip down memory lane. When in Lima, stop by...after Kewpee's.

    I live an hour away and was visiting Defiance so I google'd some video game stores in the area to…read moresee if they had any vintage gaming stuff and this store was in the results. 90% of the reviews that I read were negative but I figured I'd still give them the benefit of the doubt and help support a small/local business. I bought a used item from them and then realized that when I had got home they did not give me all of the parts that went with it. So the hour again back to Defiance to return the said item because the employee failed to give me what I had paid for and I was already pissed that I had to make a second trip to pick up something I should have been given in the first place, so I would rather have had my money back to help pay for the gas I had wasted. Only the owner wouldn't let me trade it back in even after I explained to him that I shouldn't have had to all the way back here to get the rest of what I paid for because of his neglectful employee, to which he told me: "I'm not giving you a refund because you were inconvenienced." Welp...I'd hate for to be an inconvenience when his business goes under from treating his customers like dirt. This is not how a small business owner should treat its customers. So the bottom line: Find another place to buy/sell/trade games/accessories because this owner does not deserve your business. If you still decide to buy from them after reading, then I hope you don't get screwed like I did.

He will get a little haywire if you push his buttons. Don't sign up for the rewards he gets a little butt hurt (typical company man) hard worker though. His smart mouth you attitude is classic LOL guy is a lot of fun when he smart mouths you about something. He's frustrated not more People are signing up for Pro memberships I get it. Do you blame him? Not the biggest selection of games here. They damn near don't have anything and will send you to Glenbrook store 9 times out of 10. Get up on the pro rewards. No games to use it on LOL $5 off a month. I don't buy games that often and don't feel like I should be forced to buy a game to save $5 when the game might be a little overpriced to begin with. Or you walk out of there with a real clunker of a game. Save your dough on the Pro membership. If they got a game you want grab it and get the hell out. In and out.

I was the last one in line who was going to be able to get a SPC. Then after hrs of waiting the employee gets there at 10Am and says that the sign posted is wrong and there is one less because he was getting one. I understand him getting one, but it screwed me over. I waited hours to get one just to be told I can't get one because the employee had dibs basically. Nice guy, like the store, just a crappy scenario.
