Negative experience: Store hours incorrect says open 10am. sat in parking lot and called no answer and doors locked

Jessie Gomez Posted on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: They have some cool stuff, but customer service is less than desired. This is definitely a more of a flea market feel type store. They aren't very chatty for a retail store with games.

Morose Loki Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I really like this place pretty much all the games I got worked a good retro selection and new stuff... Also have Tshirts now

Antony Reese Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of the great retro stores in San Jose, this store has games from just about every generation (NES to PS5) and a multitude of consoles and accessories! The staff are super helpful, and they'll make sure your games work before purchasing them.

William Rawicz Posted on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Avoid this store, brought a couple games up and the guy ignored stickered prices and started to check his phone for ebay prices. Planned to charge to me those instead. I just walked out, I'd rather just buy from ebay, what's the point of a local store that ignores sticker prices and just charges the same as ebay?

Mike F Posted on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Not for collectors, most if not half of the items here are fakes. I bought a couple Pokemon games here as well as few SNES games for little above market value “if they were real”. After getting home and opening them up I realize they were fakes and the motherboards were swapped at some point. Either he’s ripping everyone off purposely or probably doesn’t know he’s selling you fakes. If you go there to buy something ask to see inside the game first, if he doesn’t show you then it’s probably fake. If he doesn’t know how to open them then he doesn’t know he’s selling fakes. He won’t tell you they are fake but sell you them for top dollar prices.

Tiffany Ormonde Posted on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Sold me a fake Pokemon Heartgold case. Don’t buy stuff from here if you want it authentic. Especially don’t buy Pokemon stuff from here cuz there’s a good chance it’s fake. I wasted $60 here.

Walter Recinos Posted on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I bought some psp games a few months ago , 3 new and 1 already used with a memory stick . When i try to play them on my PSP none of them work actually , I went back to get my money back n He started arguing with me . Im like brother how are you going to be selling games that don't even work . If you want old game from psp or nitento tds etc, I wouldn't recommend to buy games in here to be honest

Toma Antilles Posted on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: This place has so much stuff. So much that it can be slightly ovwrwhelming. Gameboys on top of gameboys, ps2 crammed by ps2s. In some corners it seems unorganized, but for the most part there is some rhyme and reason. Some items I saw were grossly overpriced/higher than ebay. But other items are reasonable. The game I was looking for (Project Phantasma PS1) was about 20 dollars less than pricecharting. So if youre willing to dig, bring a snack cause youll have a lot to go through. I would definitely go back here.

Trianon Alex Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: There's a new store here,good prices on shirts sweaters and hats. And videogame consoles

Ryan Jolley Posted on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: This store has a pretty vast selection of consoles and games and you can get lost in here for hours checking out all the cool stuff but the fact that most of their games and consoles don't have price tags is a huge red flag. We asked how much they wanted for a DS LITE and the guy says "For you, $110" with no games btw. "and it comes with a charger." First of all that's an obviously made up number that he just felt like throwing out there. Secondly, that is way over market price. A DS Lite is worth around $60 and you can likely find them with games as well. He did not want to negotiate. The price gouging here is insane, I also don't like how messy the store is. They have cords and controllers shoved in drawers. They have consoles piled up on top of eachother collecting dust. If they where to clean them up and bundle them with some controllers and games I might actually buy one. It doesn't seem like anyone that works here is actually interested in video games. In short, if you like shops where you can dig around for an hour or two and maybe find a gem then this store is cool. But just know that this place really is over priced and kind of a hassle to shop in. If you're in the area, go to Retro Fix instead.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic game store. They have much better things in condition compared to GameStop omg. Gamestop items don’t even work. Game world work and is in good condition. They have good prices too.

Brogo “Brogostick” Stick Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great store with a great selection of games and tshitrts. They do trade ins and you can sell your old stuff here and get better stuff in return. They told me they are closed on Sundays and Thursdays.

Randy Kwok Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went here on Saturday and had a great time browsing this store. They have tons of consoles and accessories, and more PS2 games than you could imagine. Staff was really nice as well and answered any questions we had. Prices are about the same as what you would find online, with some variance. I ended up buying a complete Dynasty Warriors 5 for $15 and would definitely visit again.

Jeff Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gamestop WAS the place for used / older games. Unfortunately they drank the Cooolaid and only see in dollar signs now. Shop here if you are that golden age of growing up with the best

Negative experience: Hate this place, the shop owner is an a-hole and extremely rude. Unorganized and smells bad too. Go to Gameshop Downstairs instead.

Carlos Alvarez Posted on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: I went at 11:00AM today and waited for 25 minutes for the owner to open the shop. I got tired of waiting so I left. Extremely unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: best video game store in the bay. not a fancy setup like the other ones in San Jose but they have the rarest games for the best prices. this place is full of gems. parking is easy too.

Ruben Reyes Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: He was amazing I bought an Xbox one from him and the disc drive wasn't working and the controller was drifting but he said if I need help come back and it's a 15 minute ride on my bike so I went back and he gave me a new xbox with a working disc drive a new controller and I got some games for my nes 360 and more and tip for new people ask if he has more games for your console cause he has more in the back a lot of the time amazing fast service I'm 100% reccomend he has anything you name from old to new

Gloppin Boopin Posted on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: They sold me a fake PS3/DualShock 3 controller for $40. Even made me buy a charger for it for an extra 10 bucks after I asked if it came with a charger which they said it didn’t when it actually did come with one. Wouldn’t recommend coming here to find a genuine DualShock 3 controller.

Adam Woolery Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really big selection of games at good prices, in a convenient location with good parking. The owner was very nice and went out of his way to find games that I was looking for. Definitely recommend if you are in San Jose.

Naro Lego93 Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good video games on good conditions,,

Aaron Tran Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got a pretty varied selection of games for most consoles. Reasonable prices and super friendly owner; if you ask he'll bring more games out of the back of the store and tests games in front of you to show you they're working. The only other note is that they heavily prefer cash payments as they don't readily have credit payment available. I also recommend you call ahead as their hours are not always consistent with what Google says.

Fantastic experience: Small place, had some good stuff a little to pricy for my budget

Diego Perez Posted on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: Sold me a broken Xbox

Jason Jacobsen Posted on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is a nice little shop to go to if you literally don't have anything to do! (Literally everyone at the moment.) The prices aren't outrageously expensive or outrageously cheap, they're pretty much around the price that anyone can afford! I have no idea they're open during the pandemic... But if they are, it's a nice place to go whenever you want to get a console, controllers, or just a couple games. They sell anything from the Atari 2600, (I think) to the Nintendo switch! (No idea they have in stock) they have a pretty wide variety of things you can select from. The owner is really nice and they even occasionally make deals out of the blue! Five stars!

Scott Donato Posted on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's the Best!

HLG Dome Posted on Google 6 years ago

Nick Hammes Posted on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The clerk (owner, I assume) was very nice, he saw what I was looking at and brought out more from the back, helping me find a rare game I was interested in! Exactly the opposite of what I'm used to at larger games retailers, wonderful.

Zareh Lebaredian Posted on Google 8 years ago

Sal Randazzo Posted on Google 8 years ago

Loc Pham Posted on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to this place quite alot and my mom would mostly make a deal with the owner almost everytime i buy a game. Great place,they still sell old videogames/consoles and the prices are not too high and not too low and of course they sell new games.

Obscure Reference Posted on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: Great place to go, sold some old games for $30. Couldn't really sell one of my more expensive games tho.

Michael Thach Posted on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sell any PlayStation 2 games for $10 each. Best deal I could find for these type of games.

Kev G Posted on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wow! I almost don't want to post a good review because everyone will take the treasures! This is one of those small mom n pop shops that go on the hunt and bring back their goods to their storefront. Their collection of classics are amazing! They have more original than third party which is a major plus in my buck. This whole little store is crowded but it's like you opened up a time portal to a gamer's closet in 1998. Comin back for sure!

Juan Elisondo Posted on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really cool place have your stuff play your favorite games!

Justin Gleghorn Posted on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: I was shopping for a vintage system and wanted my deciding factor to be based on what games were available at purchase. I had a difficult time making up my mind based off of what was displayed out front, and then the owner figured out my interest, pulled me in the back room and it was gold. Within a few minutes I found just what I was looking for and then some and it was a blast.

Eric Evangelista Posted on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: It was ok. The selection wasn't that great though.
