A crazy underrated place, it has a little bit of everything. Its main focus is video games, having…read morelots of stock for every console past the NES, and also having some sealed stuff if you are into that. It also has every form of media, cd's, vinyls, dvd's, cassettes, VHS, and lots of other trinkets and goodies. The owner is extremely nice, will sit and talk, and is always excited to answer questions or flaunt the new stock. Prices are extremely reasonable, and the owner is more than happy to cut you some deals for bigger purchases! Overall, one of my favorite game stores in New England, I highly recommend checking this out!!

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.

Nice little retro spot in the Warren area. Been here a few times, and there's a decent selection of…read moregames and movies. The owner is a pretty nice guy, offers cash / credit for trades that are decently reasonable. He doesn't seem to clean or test any of the inventory, but had a scenario where a game was defective and he let me swap it for something else. One thing of note is it's only open on weekends for a handful of hours, so just plan ahead if you want to check it out. Also make sure you have cash, as they don't accept card payments. Some decent prices on most games are generally around PriceCharting (owner always doublechecks on that if he didn't mark it up yet, but will give better prices than what's on there so that's great). Worth checking out if you're in the area!

Since we were in town on Valentines Day, the hubby and I figured to stop in and check out their…read moreselection of retro games after reading a few good reviews. While the store is tiny and a bit cramped, the owner seems to really pack in a ton of merchandise. Lots of used DVDs for $1, CDs, nicknacks and a tidy little corner of games. Game-wise, for the most part, you'll find plenty of the typical games circulating the retro market (lots of sports and children's titles) but we did manage to find a couple gems for a very reasonable and affordable price. (Especially after checking their market prices online shortly after.) The owner was super sweet and helpful even asking what type of games we were looking for. Since she rotates her inventory often I feel like if we were frequent customers in the area, we'd score some really great finds.

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!

Extremely cool dudes running this store…read more I came in a couple weeks ago looking for some PS2/GameCube games, and the second I walked in the store, a gentleman behind the counter greeted me politely. He asked what was bringing me in, and I stated I had just discovered them 15 minutes prior to visiting and that I was coming from out of state. He was very friendly and gave me their business card. He told me that there's a little something for everyone in this store, and he was absolutely right. After talking for a little I told him that I was defintely interested in some of the retro games. He walked me over to the aisle and explained their selection and which games I could find that I was looking for. They had a huge variety of GameCube and PS2 games, in fact, the most variety I have ever seen in stores alike. Five star customer service, excellent assistance, super down to earth people who have your best interest in mind. I look forward to coming back soon!

(Eat your heart out rest of the male population you know how hard it is to land a wife that does gaming) So this place seems like the perfect place to stop by and see what cool stuff they got .

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 . I saw the YouTube video of the guy looking for a Morton Koopa junior plush only to see they had one and it was not for sale. Well they restocked Morton so I got one My wife bought me a very nice and glossy looking Super Mario bros 3 sign for me to hang in "The Dave Cave" All in All it was an excellent experience with a super chill and patient clerk.
