Play It Again is new locally owned and operated gaming destination that offers a unique combination…read moreof a gaming lounge and retail store for gamers of all ages. Located behind the Walgreens in Gulf Shores, AL this establishment aims to provide a one-of-a-kind experience for both casual and competitive gamers from newbies to long-timers and the old schoolers.  They offer a great range of games on both new generation and old generation consoles like the Xbox Series X, Playstation 5 to Xbox original, and Playstation 1, as well at Wii, Nintendo 64, Switch, Quest 3, Game Cube, and more. That was  especially appealing to my son who was already in  school when the first Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was released in 1985.  I discovered this spot when bringing a neighbor to a salon next door and poppped to meet Sam, the owner, and find out what this place was all about. Sam is a knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic entrepreneur who was happy to give me lots of information about his business and plans for the future. I couldn't wait to tell my son, a game enthusiast, what I found. He was very eager to check it out and indeed he went right away and spent an entire day, and late into the night, trying lots of games, and hanging with Sam and other gamers.  There's both online and offline, like we geeks call LAN gaming, which is systems connected through a local area network. Plus lots of immersive experiences such as Virtual Reality and a big room dedicated to games like Guitar Hero, and others, with big screen, microphones and sound system. Just use their PC's with game chairs, or immerse yourself in big screen action. It's also okay to bring food and drinks with a lounge area for enjoying while you take a break, or to hang out with friends before or after games.  Prices by the hour or even half hour, and some experiences, like karaoke, are available for parties onsite or at your location.  They also buy sell and trade, so if you are looking to get rid of any of your old games, consoles or collectables, go see them!! Bottom line: I defer to my son, as the gaming expert of the family, and if he gives it 5 stars then who am I to disagree?
