    One of the last video stores on the planet. Real deal old school, just like you remember. DVD, some blue ray, and VHS!

    Used to be GameStar. Now goes by "Game On! Play On!". For the fact that there aren't retro video…read moregame stores on every corner these days, I will absolutely be back to give this place my business! They carry video games from most consoles from the past 30 years, the consoles for the games, Lego sets, funko pops, and more! Keep in mind they sell what they get so they might not have every game but I got four N64 games I really wanted! During my visit I saw, Sega Genisis, SNES, N64, PS1, Dreamcast consoles and more! And yeah maybe I paid a few extra dollars on some things but it supports local business and hopefully keeps brick and mortar stores like this around much longer. Sometimes you don't know what you have till it's gone people. Ken the manager was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and nice! Comparing their prices to Amazon or EBay, they seem to be right in line as far was what they're charging. In many cases actually charging less. Give this place a look!

    Only a one-time visitor, but the store was your basic console retail business…read more I am impressed with the store's stock of vintage games and gaming accessories (NES/etc), but it's nothing you can't find at any other cookie-cutter clone-chain gaming store. I was disappointed with the location's apparent lack of Magic: The Gathering singles. One would think that with the HUGE window displays of M:TG artwork/branding that they would have more to offer than your basic booster packs and card sleeves. The store's customer service met your basic standards: greeted, asked if I needed assistance, wished a good day upon exit. I say it's definitely worth a stop if consoles are your thing.

    Bach & Rock was a shop we just stumbled across while we were out and about in Astoria. It was a…read morepart of downtown we haven't explored too thoroughly prior which is the explanation I am going with. This place is loaded with musical instruments, they sell CD's and other physical forms of music that have long stopped seeing new prints in a broad way. For movies they have DVD's, VHS and probably any other form of physical media I am not mentioning for movies. On top of that this place is kind of an incense heaven. The selection is huge and there were at least five different spots I found in the store where they had incense sticks. I bought quite a bit and was pleased with finding so many scents I don't normally come across. The atmosphere is quirky to say the least. Not only is their windblowing instruments everywhere, it's loaded with plants and other decor that definitely gives this place a unique signature. And of course the fact that a real parrot was here only enhanced that. And of course we had to swing by and say "hi" to the bird.

    At the time of writing, there are no 3 star reviews and I was tempted to give one but I'm giving a…read more4 star review. First off, I'm the only person, apparently, to notice all the wind instruments in this place, mainly brass instruments. I don't think I've read another review that even mentions the wind instruments. HELLO! The place is packed with them...every shape size and sort. Lots of trumpets, alto/tenor horns (really cool), piccolo trumpets, trombones, valve trombones, tubas, at least one bassoon, and much more. I give it five stars for the instruments. Absolutely dazzling to look at. I asked the "guy" where they source them from and he shot back "all over the world." I plan to go back and buy a trumpet. Great incense section. And yes, the records, cds and tapes. Very impressive. I actually did not see a cat, dog or bird. And I lost part of my smell-o-factory from covid so I didn't smell any pet smells. So why the 4 star review and not a 5 star review? Well, it's an odd place and it is somewhat restricted. You can't browse the wind instruments really because they're in a closed off area. (Did I mention the brass instruments? They're amazing absolutely beautiful). It's an odd place, and maybe not the most welcoming, but to me I love the oddity. You'd be hard pressed to find any store any where like this one.
