Everything feels pretty isolated in there as a ton of shelves are empty, but they have days when people come in and play card games and board games, and that's a cool sight to see! If you're into gamer merch and down in the Massanutten or Harrisonburg area for a trip, stop by this spot! You might find yourself a gem.

Halcyon Games…read moreoccupies a smaller space but really excels in stocking a large variety of quality video game titles for all kinds of systems. I wound up talking with the owner for about 15 minutes and they were really knowledgeable and friendly, like genuinely excited to talk to you about different games and help you find what you're looking for. They stock everything from Atari up through the latest Nintendo Switch and Playstation games and have a nice selection of complete-in-box games if you are into that. The prices are pretty fair; I would say on-par or sometimes marginally better than what you'll see online. But to me, the real advantage is you can see everything in person and take something home same-day rather than waiting for it to ship from somewhere else! On this trip I picked up some great titles for the Nintendo Wii and n64. Looking forward to coming back once I've gotten through those!

From the owner: I stock older titles from NES to newer games like Switch and PS5. read more

I have now been to this location quite a few times. And been to numerous video game stores…read morethroughout Virginia. The store itself it's incredible. The selection will waver (as all vintage game stores do). But what they do have is extreme quality. They may be picky on what they will take on trade in but I value that as someone who likes to see some of the rarer items for sale. I truly don't know how they make the business work. You can go in here and look at there prices and a vast majority of the time it's cheaper than eBay. No need to price check/match. Plus you get there honesty that the games have been tested. The owners are some of the friendliest I have met in all of my reviews. Down to earth, nice, and willing to hold a conversation with you on about anything. A true gem of a business and a place I greatly admire. Would definitely recommend.

I haven't…read morebeen in the door to the right, but I think it's owned by the same family, and has a lot of Kawaii/Cute things for sale. My wife found this awesome little hobby shop last night while hanging out with a couple of friends, and when she came home and told me about it, we ended up going back together the next day. I'm into all things nerdy, especially anime and GUNPLA, so I grabbed an SD model kit and a Thousand Sunny Bandai kit from One Piece. They've also got individual actual Pokémon, One Piece, Magic decks, and individual cards in binders for sale (at least for Pokémon, I'm unsure of the other cards games.) They had some Anime models, Manga, a bunch of stickers, different types of dice (for tabletop gaming), plushies, some older video game stuff, and I think there were Warhammer model kits. It's a small local shop, so prices are a little bit higher than what you'd see at big box stores. BUT you're supporting a local business, and that's always really worth it. There are some game rooms in the back where people can play tabletop stuff like board games or Dungeons & Dragons. They've got a bathroom (I didn't check it out), plus a little section with snacks and sodas to indulge if you get hungry while you're there playing. Big shoutout to the guy behind the counter. He was super cool to my wife and her friends last night, and even more so when we came back today. I watched him today helping other customers too. Super patient, very friendly, and just seems like a genuinely good guy. Definitely the kind of shop and person I love to support. He also said that if we have We will absolutely be back here.

My old Wii is having some issues and my sibling found this store for me to check out. I drove from…read morethe city to get it diagnosed and the repair guy wouldn't even look at it which was super frustrating. He recommended other repair stores but why have a support area if you won't even bother trying to diagnose an issue much less fix it? No pricing on any packaging was also weird but they do have a website that's mostly usable. Cashiers can also check prices and stock for you. I ended up buying a few games just so I didn't go out there for nothing but was pretty disappointed based on the services offered on the website. The selection of games is really solid but I don't recommend them for tech support.

We came here to get our Switch's charging port repaired. They were super friendly and much more affordable than other bigger franchises doing repairs in the area. There is a shortage of repair techs in the area, we were quoted a month for the repair which was the same as the other shops. Regardless, our repair was completed and at least 30% cheaper than the competitors. The shop is huge and had so much fun merch, my sons and husband were loving exploring their huge selection of games, while I was checking out their kawaii hello kitty plushies and caps. A little bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip to support this local business!

I'll sum it up. While I was visiting family, I stopped by Back to the Media. It is a nice enough…read moreplace for nostalgia. The arcade was a nice bonus as well. However, go elsewhere for trading in stuff. I was given a lowball offer for some games and a collectible I brought in and the owner wasn't happy because one was imported. I ended up taking them to EStarland on my way home and got a much better offer and actual praise for bringing in some good stuff. In the end, if you find what you are looking for, that's great! but go elsewhere to get better values for your trade ins.
