Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind. On a hot day, we were immediately offered water. Also, amazing deals, and wide collection.

Glenn Williams Posted on Google 2 weeks ago

Negative experience: Bought a pre-owned game didn't work returned 4 days later with the recipet and was told I'm out of the return window. That GameStop does the same I explained the employee that sold me the game assured me I could return it if there were any issues and GameStop gives you a week on all pre-owned products. Was then told we're not GameStop. As a serious collector I can not suggest this place.

The Video Game Store

If you had an item that was not working we do offer 30 days for replacement or repairs. We do however not do returns.

Fantastic experience: Great video game store, the guy was very nice, and the variety is wide. Got a PS2 Slim and some games. Worth going to if you're a gamer

Brandon Rodriguez Posted on Google 4 months ago

Negative experience: Messy and poorly organized store. It’s hard to tell what they even have in stock because everything is all over the place. Customer service was pretty bad too — when I asked about a specific game, they barely seemed to care or try to help. Overall, it felt unprofessional and not worth the time if you’re looking for something specific or browsing.

Michael Archambault Posted on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: The best game shop in the area. Love coming in here, the guys are absolutely fantastic. I'm a big Atari collector and it can be hard to find good stuff, but they seem to always have something and the pricing is great. Highly recommend stopping by and taking a look.

Gabriel Privera Posted on Google 9 months ago

Kenny is awesome man so are the others . Even the one whos always taking the paparazzi pics lol good men good spot I rate a 5 all day every day

Kaylen Phillips Posted on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Got some great games, including a rare Nintendo 3DS game, for a good price! Very friendly staff. Rare to see this kind if shop nowadays and I was very charmed. The games were pretty disorganized though and hard to read from in front of the counter - just be assertive asking for help.

The Video Game Store

Oh of course
We want people to ask us to see things. Discussing selection is half the fun

Connor Stay Posted on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great service, and the prices and selection were wonderful! Planning to go back soon.

Shawn Harris Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I typically come here to sell games and most of the time I'm not disappointed in the business. They're very friendly and fast with their customers.

Bruce Weidner Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for older games and parts and accessories for your older game systems way cheaper than the mall stores

Wanny Wan Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My #1 game store . Very respectful people . Keep up the good work guys !!!!!

むぎきし Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I went in to sell nine games, I asked how much I would be getting for them and they kept saying "fify, fifee" like 5 times. I asked "fifty?" and they said yes. I agreed and after taking a picture of my ID and me, they gave me FIFTEEN dollars. I was so irritated and I desperately needed money today, so I just left. But I will not be back. Please learn how to enunciate. I'm so annoyed. Some of those games can be sold for $10 on their own. Unbearable

Izzy Cruz Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great knowledgeable customer service. And most likely you'll find what you're looking for.

Podacco Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome. Went there for the first time yesterday and they absolutely hooked me up. Two staff spend at least 10min helping me with my N64 and determining some good suggestions for a specific genre of PS4 games. Incredible prices, inventory, and service.

Manuel E. Castro Córdova Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: They'll go above and beyond to help you find what you need, and they'll even recommend you games you might like based on what you've purchased or what you tell them you like. Prices are very fair, and they have just about every console I can think of, including current gen consoles.

Jalen Shelton Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great customer service as well as knowledge of games old and new. Best place to trade in old games or consoles. Would come back 10/10

Nate Sylvester Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nicest retro video game store I've ever shopped from. The staff is patient, honest and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of used games, from Atari to Sony. They also have a treasure trove of used DVDs, BDs and other swag. With no snobbery or gatekeeping. Check 'em out.

London Banshee Posted on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: Nice staff and very helpful! I got a ps2 and a handful of games; this store has a good collection. Prices are very reasonable and staff members are honest and engaging! :)

Anthony Guevara Posted on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: The reason i am giving only 4 stars is because of the young black chick. I talked to her on the phone and when i got there I spoke with her she helped someone else and when she was finished she went to other ends of the store. So when i saw she was free i went to talk to her, the guy came over, who was super cool btw, she went to the other side of the store again. I talked to 4 different customers that came in and I'm just a talkative and friendly guy. Why she was avoiding me is beyond me. The guy was awesome and super friendly as well as really helpful! Great selection of movies and lots of retro games/consoles.

Paul Baker Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely my favorite place to go for all my gaming needs as well as my movie and shows I like to watch everyone there is awesome and friendly everything is priced really good definitely a place everyone should check out

Dan Ranger Posted on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nothing but great costumer service

Zachary Ziegler Posted on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Do you have consoles or games from your childhood collecting dust? Look no further. The video game Store purchases vintage games and consoles. Their offers are so fair there is no need to haggle on price. Also, if you are looking for a specific game or console of any kind this is your one stop shop. Honestly when I walked into the store for the first time I thought it was a collection. That's how impressive the selection is. Located conveniently off of 7th Street in Allentown with working hours that accommodate everyone. Forget the big box retailers when it comes to video games, this is the place you need.

The Video Game Store

Thanks, glad you really enjoyed yourself.

Julian Smith Posted on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for games but no parking at all.

Christopher Fessler Posted on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: First thing, besides video games and consoles, they also have a wide assortment of DVDs. Second, they have some very cool stuff. I'm a video game junkie, especially when it comes to the classics. Nostalgia hits the wallet everytime. They have Nintendos, N64s, Game Gears, Playstation, Atari, all that. Vintage games with the cases and manuals. Some of these games are not cheap. Especially, when you compare a Sega game to an XBOX 1 game and ask how something like that can go for $130. They have all the new titles and consoles too. The guys that work there are super friendly and can talk games for days. Love it.

Dillon Buskirk Posted on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: 11:40 Saturday, after the 1 hour drive from my house and website and store clearly are marked open. Lights are out and door is locked. Hopefully nobody else has to go through this.

Rick Folmar Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Games you won't find anywhere else and best prices you'll find in the Lehigh Valley. Games are guaranteed to work. Stop by, you won't be disappointed.

Austin Rivera Posted on Google 4 years ago

Positive experience: It's usually a fair place. However I suggest calling anytime you plan on going. It frequently opens later than time posted or if closed no notice left. It's quite frustrating.

Fantastic experience: Best video game shop in Atown. Need a jawn? They got it. Great DVD and Blu Ray selection too. Guy actually gives FAIR trade in values. Staff is always friendly and real. Great selection on consoles and vintage and retro gaming. Once again they got the jawn you looking for. Great deals on everything. Skip the other stores, go here. 5/5 Best video game store around.

Pie Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice place. A wide selection of all playstation and xbox era. Sometimes you get a good deal but that's very rare. Most of the time, prices just reflect the online prices. The only advantage to frequenting this place is they sell games in very good to excellent condition with very few scratches. So they're standards for trade in resales are high so you know you'll be buying a clean copy. Unfortunately, you most likely will neve find a game worth over 60 bucks at this store due to their list of private collectors getting first dibs

z sclafani Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: At least 50% of my total collection came from this place & I could still pay my rent! Saying a lot with certain retro gaming stores these days... New location is great. Great variety from NES to Xbox, huge collection of DVDs too.

Richard Rico Posted on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: Great store if you're looking for DVDs or Xbox and PlayStation games but minus one star for a very limited selection of Sega Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn games...which was the main reason I checked out the store.
