Showed up before closing time and was refused entry into main store. Was told by manager that the arcade would be open longer because they were having card night. Same idiot that denied us entry to store came and kicked us out of arcade as well so they could play card games. Seems the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. In this day and time to turn away business that means they dont need your money or have plenty to pay higher for your trade ins. read more

Being of the age to remember Pong first coming out, this arcade has a lot of the old school arcade games I dropped many quarters through growing up. Thanks for keeping old school arcade a available! All the older games take a lot of time, effort and money to maintain. Thank you! read more

So many fun games and merchandise (and great "history" lessons for my kids)! Warning though, it is in a very quiet mall that has many closed stores/ is mostly empty. Even that being said, it is VERY worth visiting. There are many comics, DVDs, books, merchandise, and memorabilia for sale. This includes older models of video games and systems. The best part is being able to play old arcade games for 25 cents!!!! They have a change machine (so bring dollar bills or 5s). My family went during the mid day heat to escape the strong sun and had fun. I loved racing them on a car game and playing Jurassic park. Next door to the store is a room with awesome classics you can play for a quarter. (Pac-Man, Tetris, donkey Kong, tappers, mortal Kombat, pinball..... and so many more). We only spent about $10 for the 4 of us to have fun for a bit. It was very nostalgic for me and reminded my kids of a scene from Wreck it Ralph. The people working were very friendly. Please remember to handle the games with care. Parts are hard to come by sometimes, so it's important to be gentle. read more

Player's Choice - The arcade room with tons of game choices (in addition to others in the store) - Video Game Stores Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Player's Choice is everything you'd expect in an almost throwback retro experience of a gaming store/arcade/players paradise. This place carries everything from the oldest gaming systems, comics, collectibles, tshirts, etc. and when you think that's it, they have even more in the back. If you want it, they got it or know someone that can get it for you. They have 25 cent arcade games in the store & a full arcade next door with oldies & newbies to titillate & delight. I'm talking the old Pac-Man, Pong, Xmen, etc. There isn't much in this mall, but this store has been a long standing feature & will likely be the main reason to keep coming back for more. read more

Get ready to nerd out on whatever it is you nerd out on because this place has it all... almost. From comics to every type of video game, new to used, and even arcade games. Whatever geekdom you're looking to conquer you can do it here. Unfortunately, they don't have vinyl albums or I would have been there for hours. This shop is pretty big and the only one of it's kind I've seen around here. I grew up in Boston going to Newbury Comics and it kind of had a similar feel. You can even find things like Funco Pop characters, a wide selection of anime, and card games like Pokemon and Magic. This mall is dying out but Players Choice is probably one of the main reasons it's still kicking. Go check it out! read more

So cool...so fun...so unique...loved it all! This was pretty much the first stop on our things to do while in Myrtle Beach for a week long vacation. It did not disappoint! There's something for everyone here! Comics, Pokémon and Nintendo plush, posters, dice, Magic, video games for every console for the last 30 years, working arcade games and pinball machines and more!!! It's all amazing! It was so neat to look through all the old video games especially from the Super Nintendo and Game Cube era which is such a throwback to my youth. My husband and 9 yr old son enjoyed every minute here too! Everything was so clean and organized too! The store is inside the Myrtle Beach Mall and is a must visit! read more

This store is amazing. I was vacationing from Maryland and didn't want to wait to get this weeks new releases ( yes I know I cheated on my Maryland LCS, but this store more than held their own). First of all, I was amazed that the brand new issues were bagged and boarded. Not only do they have a good size collection of back issues, they have a good size selection of everything from Funko to trade paperbacks to video games. Mext time I vacation in Myrtle Beach I will definitely hit them up on new comic Wednesday. read more

This place is incredible. Truly awesome. If you have a rainy day in Myrtle Beach, you should go here. If you are looking for something, this is your place. The owner and staff were so helpful. My 13-year old just started reading comic books. They were so helpful to us. These guys are great. Go see them. read more

Overall this store is pretty amazing. As a comic book store, it didn't impress. They have a large amount of current issues and new comics, but key back issues was lacking, or what is called wall books. In the long boxes I looking for back issues of Amazing Spider-man and saw nothing pre-issue 400. The staff there were friendly, so I asked one of them if they had any others anywhere else. He said people come from up north and buy his issues and take them back to sell on eBay. As he didn't have anything I wished to buy, I can't speak to value. Though if you are looking for new comics at cover price, this place probably has it. You should stop by and visit if in the area, just don't expect to be impressed with the older comic selection, as apparently his stock keeps getting invaded. read more

If you're a video gamer or love comics or superheroes, you're going to enjoy Player's Choice. It's not as great of a place if you're looking for a wide selection of D&D-games or board games. THINGS TO KNOW: -They actually have an arcade with arcade games right in the store! It's pretty awesome! -The storefront is entirely located inside the mall. You won't be able to get into the store without walking inside the mall. This is possibly the only hobby store I've seen located in a mall like this - but they have a gigantic space in the mall, so they're probably pretty happy with it. -The store sells a lot of neat stuff including stuff you didn't know you wanted. They have video games, lots of comic books, lots of nerdy collectibles including a giant collection of those Funko toys. They sell old games like PS1, game boy games, and more. PROS: -Lots and lots of rare video games. That's always awesome. Even for old systems such as the original PlayStation or Game Boy Color. -Prices are very reasonable. They're usually within $5 of what Amazon would sell it for. I'd much rather buy it local than save that tiny chunk of change. -Staff is super helpful. They seem just as nerdy as the customers they cater to. CONS: -Doesn't have board games. For hobby stores like this, I really expect a board game section. It's a bit odd. You're going to find a larger board game selection at Books-A-Million in the same mall. read more

They have absolutely everything you need. The malls a little empty but keep going and you'll find more than treasure! Every old system & arcade game there ever was. read more

This was probably the best classic video game store I have ever been too. The selection is second to none. The prices are competitive with any other store I've seen. The best part is the classic arcade games. There is a separate arcade next to the the store, with a bunch of old-school games. All of these games are only $0.25 to play. Lots of variety to choose from. You certainly won't be disappointed if you visit. read more

Went with my parents, and they absolutely loved the arcade. They mentioned that it felt like they took a step back in time. The store was great as well. I could spend a few hours playing and browsing around. I recommended a few friends to stop in. read more

Player's Choice - Main entrance - Video Game Stores Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

What a GREAT store with an awesome selection and wonderful staff. First time there and my Daughters had such a fun time. The selection Of Manga was the BEST according to my Anime loving daughter, She spent and hour picking out books according to her budget. It was so sad walking through an empty mall to get there but what an AWESOME place !!! We will be back every time we are at our vacation home to see what new stuff they have read more

Love this place. It's like a geek heaven. So many different things for different fandoms from DVDs and games to action figures and collectibles. They also have a ton of different arcade machines to play which is like a blast from the past and speaking of that they also sell order video games as well. read more

Pretty neat! Only thing is that a lot of the game covers are printed by them and put in a random tho if case to make it look like they are complete. Most interesting place in the entire desolate mall. read more

This is literally my favorite game store!! Everyone is so kind and helpful; nobody treats you like you're dumb when you have questions. I come here every single time I'm at Myrtle beach. Thank you guys for being so wonderful! I've asked about games before and even though they didn't have them at the time, they'd follow up with me about them later on if they got them in. Absolutely recommend, whole heartedly read more

18 minutes ago I went in to buy a N64 game that was 104.00 dollars, I wanted to make sure it was an OEM and the guy was passive aggressive about it but said he'd only let me open up one cartridge to ensure authenticity ensuring me all his games are OEMS. The game was indeed an OEM but I bought 5 more games that he wouldn't let me check. Both guys I had dealt with were defensive and passive aggressive when I asked questions about the N64 games. I asked how long "Road Rash" has been sitting on the shelf because it's a child hood favorite and it was the only one and looked in great condition and if I knew it was sitting there for a long time my chances of coming back an it being there would be a lot hire if I couldn't buy it at that very moment but the owner brushed me off with a dismissive response and then said I been here 14 years and never had anyone ask me that question before. You just don't talk to a paying customer that way, I owned a business for nine years and know that's not right. My experience is that they were undermining and passive aggressive. The end result was I spent 290 bucks on used N64 games so I asked for 10 bucks off and the owner said no but sold me the games Tax free so I guess that's better than nothing. I won't be shopping there again because I don't like how I was dealt with. I Hope everyone else has had a good experience it seems they have according to the high review level, it's too bad I didn't because I'm a big Nintendo junkie but back to Amazon shopping for me. read more

We had a blast here and at their 1980's pinball and video games place next door (Time Warp?) We loved playing all of the old pinball machines and stayed for at least 2 hours. The gentlemen working there were very helpful and sweet and answered all of our questions. 25 cent pinball, don't miss it! I felt like I was 15 years old again, and loved every minute of it; and my husband said that it's a semi-great workout too! If you're hungry there's a great pizza/subs place in the mall as well, Corrado's Pizza, and it's the best pizza I've had in Mrytle Beach! read more

Super cool place where you can easily spend serious cash. Owner is amazing and just a good guy! You can't possibly see everything. So much memorabilia and history in the store. Def for comic and movie enthusiasts. Will visit every year! read more

This place was a blast. Pinball machines were in great shape and just a quarter. Found some very on point comics for the kid. Almost 2 hours of fun for the family for like $15. Almost missed the arcade next door. May have to come back. read more

I'm ready for round 2 on my Player's Choice review. It is a hidden gem in this dying mall. I was highly impressed with all the lit arcade games, comic books, anime, action figures and classic video games in stock, and this visit, 2 years later? Not much different. Absolutely friendly staff; they were super helpful over the phone and through Facebook messenger on their page. And to top that all off, this store has probably the best arcade in Myrtle Beach, full of classic classic arcade games... and all games are 25 cents to play! All other arcades in MB will run you at least $1 a game. Spent a handful of quarters playing Harley-Davidson L.A. Riders and House of the Dead 2. The games seem well kept, and by that, I mean the buttons on Harley-Davidson aren't busted and the handlebars aren't calibrated like ass, and the gun on House 2 was accurate! Next door, the same store owner also runs a classic arcade called Warp Zone with a ton of classic '80s games, and they moved their Super Mario pinball into that space as well. Good selection of classic video games in stock. Bought a PS1 game I was looking for at a good price and walked out. They've got some fly shirts as well. Massive selection of comic books as well (though I wasn't looking for them). GameStop doesn't have jack squat on this. If you're a gamer, comic book enthusiast or a geek, Player's Choice in Myrtle Beach Mall is a must-go while walking on the ocean (even though it's off the highway and not the shore, lol). read more

Awesome store. Lots of nostalgia for us middle aged guys. Loved the quarter arcade. Great selection of Funko Pops.

Players choice has a number of different items like Funko comics dnd items and many more. All of there prices are either cheap or regular price of items. Like for example the funko pop characters were $9.95 if not marked. And with that they had a lot to choose from. And they also had a wide variety of retro games and consoles, and books read more

Player's Choice - Some of what I got from players choice in North Myrtle - Video Game Stores Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Resellers be ware, spent $1000 and was told i can't come back because kids might want these games locally. Owner is very unfriendly do not recommend giving him business read more

Great place! Comics, manga, action figures, retro video games, arcade cabinets and tons of other cool stuff! What's not to like?

Probably the 2nd best thing about what's left of this mall after Bass pro. Good place to get rid of old dvds/games/blu-rays, and get new ones for cheap. Tons of old school quarter arcade games to play. read more

I got a console and some games from them at fair price. There was a minor issue with the console and when I brought it back they switched it out no problem for another one, and also gave us a couple games. Nice people who seem to care about their customers read more

Selection of games is absolutely excellent, the prices on just about everything is a good 20% or so above market value, but if you are looking for something specific chances are they have it. Besides that the employees and owner aren't the most like able people. When asked questions they usually brush off the question or give snarky remarks. It makes me think twice before spending my money there. read more

If you want to take a trip in a time machine then look no further! This place has all the old school games that the whole family will enjoy. Not only are the games awesome, each game is only a quarter!! Each game is well kept and has great playing action. Thanks guys for allowing a place to exist where you can enjoy a night of true gaming. read more

I make it a point to come here everyday during my annual trip to Myrtle Beach with my family. Great games and the atmosphere transports me back to a simpler (better) time and I can hang out there all day! Even my kids love coming along and spend a good amount of time in the arcade as well as the store! Definitely worth a visit! read more

I absolutely love this place. It's like walking back in time and having the most memorable experience for literally quarters. Seriously it's only 25 cents to play their games. The whole atmosphere of the mall which is low on stores and never crowded makes it a hidden gem and perfect escape from all the crowds in Myrtle. Of all the places I go, the beats them all. I have a condo in Myrtle and have done all there is to do and it has been my favorite since they opened. read more

Great price for a lgs. Friendly service and easy to navigate. I will say when the owner is not in they are not going to seek you out if you need help. But if you need old games they are the place read more

Awesome video game store and arcade. Everything from video games, to comics to Pops. If it's video game related they have it at Player's Choice. If you are in Myrtle Beach and you are into video games you owe it to yourself to take a look in this store. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is a video gamer or comic box nerd life!! I fell inlove with this place as it had everything you could every think of!!.

probably one of the best comic and collectible stores ive ever been to, the organization was on point and had a huge selection of comics and more, the guys working were helpful and friendly. read more

Blast from the past! This place has classic 80's and 90's arcades. Only a quarter each play.

A high 3 stars, but still 3. This place has a LOT of selection. From video games to comics to DVDs to T-Shirts to Arcade cabinets, they fill the space the space they have very well. 25 cents for all the arcades is a fantastic price and if you're into that, it's really awesome and they have a bunch of cabinets to choose from. They impress with their selection of retro video games and even had a single TurboGrafx 16 game. Rows and rows of comics, but I didn't look through so I don't know the quality of the selection. The problem arose when it came to price. The retro sports games were like $1-5, as they should be, but the more popular games were so overpriced! I'm talking like $20 more than go for on eBay for some of them. Both Doom and Super Mario World were $35; WAY too much for those games. Plenty of other things were prices that were almost always above the highest eBay prices. I got two things: one at an ok price that I don't see often and something that was actually a good price, but it wasn't a game. As far as games go, they are astronomically overpriced. I'd recommend checking them out, but be wary that you're not gonna score many deals. They are pricing to idiot collector's in it for nostalgia, not the actual knowledgable collector in it for the art of the hunt. read more
