OK. I know what you're thinking, that this place looks crazy and like it isn't even open if you…read morewere to walk up to it on the street. But don't be fooled! It's a hidden treasure chest for all gamers! If you can look past the ongoing clutter, dust, and random items thrown about, you're in for a treat. I consider myself to be a big vintage gamer. So, I like hunting for anything that is hard to find and that will bring a nostalgia from my childhood. When I was visiting Celina, I didn't know what to expect but just wanted to check this place out to see what they had. They had more than any other gaming store I've seen for SNES, NES; there were even Sega Genesis games strewn about. Controllers, memory cards, old consoles, games that you thought you'd never see again. Honestly, I will look here again for anything that I am searching for in the future. The owner was very helpful. Normally, I have to look online for old games and hope that they work by the time they reach me in the mail. But now, I will call this place first to see if they have a game in stock...even if it means traveling a couple of hours. Apart from video games, the store carries retro board games, toys, and DVDs/VHSes. So, if you're looking for that old holiday Barbie from 1992 that your parents never got you, chances are that it could be here. Or if you want to watch the entire "Friends" series on VHS, look no further.

I was helped by this really sweet girl and when I asked who that other employee was she said the manager. I'm myself a manager and I was genuinely appalled at his mannerisms. the girl seemed like she wanted to say more, I have a feeling management here is unprofessional and under qualified to be leading a team. not sure who their dm or owner is but maybe screen your leaders a bit better, I feel sorry for the team. great selection though, the store itself is great just the staff besides the girl that helped me seems questionable.

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.

As most places that have comics and trading cards, the Warehouse also has quite the selection of Funko pops as well as other action figures. They have a small counter top display with dice, an area with trading card accessories (like binders, deck boxes, and playing mats), and a trading card event space. While we were there, a trading card tournament was actively being held. Employees were friendly, prices were fair and the space was well organized. Even with a good amount of people in the building, it didn't feel crowded. Even with the tournament going on, several employees were helping customers not involved with the event and keeping on top of regular business. I would recommend this spot to stop for comics or trading cards.
