This is a great, fun store. Their specialities seem to be trading card games (especially Magic the…read moreGathering - tournaments held here frequently) and retro video games. They have Atari, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega consoles (Genesis, CD, etc.) and even newer stuff like Playstation 2 and up, XBox, Wii. They have everything from the old games themselves to the console to play them on and all the periphery (controllers, memory cards, etc.). Prices were very reasonable. They accept trades and also do buys. A motto displayed on the signage for this store is "Buy, Sell, Trade almost anything of value" and they mean it. You could walk in with an antique lamp and walk out with a Nintendo console with the works. If it's worth something, they'll entertain a buy offer or trade-in for store credit. They also do disc resurfacing which is very important for we flea market skimmers (discs typically scratched). Talk to Brian, the owner. He's likely the biggest guy anywhere in that store the majority of them time. Looks like Penn Jillette of the magicians "Penn & Teller" (or does Penn look like Brian?). He's super friendly, always willing to try to gain a new loyal customer by trying to get you exactly what you're looking for, and (Pro Tip!) if you're buying quite a bit of stuff at one time (like $100+), he'll totally cut you a nice discount... he did for me! Like a pawn shop, the inventory changes on a daily basis. So, even if he doesn't have your favorite game today, tell him what you're looking for, and it may just show up. Things (even really rare games) just walk in off the street to be sold or traded-in here. Oh, and I didn't even really get into all the contemporary, not-your-grandmother's boardgames they carry, the vintage toys (StarWars, He-Man, generation 1 Transformers, etc. - many new in the packages), and comic books. It's really just a nerd's paradise. Loved this store.

As soon as you grab the door handle to enter Game Quest the problems begin. The handle was loose…read moreand awkward step up into the building almost made me and my son fall. It is very dusty and dirty with a gross coat of grime on the items. The store is cluttered and unorganized making it difficult to find items of interest. There are hazards everywhere including random boxes of merchandise (Skylanders) in the middle of walking areas. It's very difficult to find help with making a purchase & the staff is rude and indifferent if you make a purchase or sell items or not. I was insulted by a staff member for asking when they would be buying gaming items. It was my mistake for visiting this store multiple times with the same experience. I love supporting local businesses but Game Quest has no business being in business. It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt unless management cleans house. Figuratively & literally.

It offers a relaxing atmosphere and has plenty of space for tournaments that sometimes just pop up on the fly. The merchandise is organized and easy to find. 2:The Staff- You'd be hard pressed to find a group of people who know more about their respective sides. Whether you need help on finding a video game or a new MTG card to compliment your deck, they will help you find it. If they don't have it they do custom orders and will find you the item you are looking for. 3:The Owner- From a small flea market booth to a large store, that's all because of the owners drive. His determination to give back to the community and bring a friendly spirit of competition to Amarillo is second to none. He looks for new and inventive ways to get people excited to play MTG and other games like Force of Will. His willingness to promote the competition and even work with them for events that help everyone is admirable and a refreshing change. The above reasons are why I choose Recycled Entertainment for my Magic The Gathering and vintage video game needs.

Amazing place super friendly staff and the vibe is amazing here. There is a second room for bigger…read moregroups
