Oldskool Video Games and More: Reviews
Negative experience: Started taking my ps3 apart without my permission after i told him it was broken and doesn’t turn on. Also offers really low
So after talking with the store about your situation, it seems like the offer was in line with a broken console. The offer was low because the PS3 was broken. He didn’t take your system “apart”, he removed the lid which is standard procedure for checking systems for dust and bugs on particularly dirty consoles, and he was trying to troubleshoot your system so you could sell something that worked. You did not object to him doing that in the moment and in front of you right there at the counter. He also put the top back on so you didn’t leave with the top removed. If you decide to come back, hopefully you’ll feel better about your experience. Please feel free to message the store on our social media if you have any other questions, comments or concerns.
Negative experience: BUYERS BEWARE... I have purchased many games from Oldskool thinking everything I bought was authentic. Just to now notice that the Pokémon sapphire game I purchased from them is a complete fake. It's been too long to return it; however, I know if I did try to return it, they would gaslight me and say I didn't purchase it from them! I've tried to return a few other games within the return window, and they will either tell you that you never purchased it from them, or they never had the game in the store before. Their pricing sticker with their store logo will still be on the item and they will still insist that you didn't purchase it from the store. They will tell you your game is to scratched to return but sold it to you in that same scratched condition with no issues! I'm all for supporting small businesses but not when they're ripping people off just to maximize their profit! Make sure you check for authenticity will all high-ticket items you buy from here especially Pokémon, cause once you walk out of this store they will pretend like they never seen you or that item before!
We would be happy to hear about your situation. We have a good reputation and have never been in business of selling fake games as authentic ones. Our team are really good at spotting fakes, and if we had sold one unknowingly, I’m certain we would correct the situation. Please message our Facebook page so we can sort out your issue and go from there.
Fantastic experience: I was actually referred here by another game store. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The store has a variety of games and accessories. This place is a one stop shop. They also offer military discount.
Thank you Nicole! Looking forward to helping again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Great people amazing customer service
Love to hear that! Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Great store and customer service. Traded some sealed Pokemon and was given a great price for store credit. Staff is very friendly!
Happy to hear you left feeling good! Thank you for the 5 stars!
Positive experience: Fair prices and the people are cool, but you have a snowball's chance in hell of getting these damn price stickers off.
Dang, three stars for stickers? That’s rough! Let us earn the 4th or 5th?
Bring your games by sometime and we can remove the stickers for you.
Fantastic experience: Went in to sell an old console/ controller and The man I talked to behind the counter was very friendly and had a great character. He had integrity to give me what my system and controller was worth and not try to undercut me by trying to make me feel ignorant. Very good expierence and a great place to sell items too!
Thank you and happy to hear you had a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I came in just because I’ve never walked in before and I’m happy I did! As soon as I walked in I was greeted and the gentleman was very nice and knowledgeable. They had every console section you could ask for and even some TCG. I eventually found a DS battery and the gentleman even gave me as much information as possible to help fix my DS. Ultimately stop by and give them a shot great product and even better customer service!
Thank you! We appreciate you coming by and happy to help you :)
Fantastic experience: Great store, great staff, great selection. Even when I’m just there to look around I manage to find something to take home. Do yourself a favor and check the place out
We appreciate that!!!
Fantastic experience: Oldskool Games rocks. These guys have helped me slowly rebuild my childhood collection and I plan to come to them for years to come. Their selection of games is solid and their prices are really fair, way better than other retro stores in Hampton Roads. Special shout out to Chris who is super personable and goes above and beyond every time we shop here. Please do yourselves a favor and pop in here soon
That’s really great to hear. Thank you so much! We will pass along your compliment to Chris :)
Fantastic experience: Chris was very knowledgeable about things related to the gaming. He helped me out
Thank you!! Love to hear it
Fantastic experience: Sold a PS4 and the process was quick and very fair. Friendly staff and knowledgeable about their stock.
Fantastic experience: Always great customer service, I’ve gone here for years to buy and sell games and their prices are very fair. Fun just to see the older games and consoles! They also have additional stores in the area, so they can check the stock at each location to get you what you’re looking for. Highly recommend!
Appreciate that Jake! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I love going in here to shop around. We bought my PS4 from them and also went back to buy a PS5 for my husband! Always super nice and a good selection!
Thanks Amanda! :)
Fantastic experience: The dude behind the counter was super friendly. Great selection of retro games and cool memorabilia. The othe store in Norfolk, the last there was meh. And that store smelled like a dog kennel.
Happy to hear our stores don’t stink! Thank you for the 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Store has a great selection of items. Staff is always helpful and friendly
Appreciate your review!
Fantastic experience: Staff was so friendly and helpful! Even ordered my game when they didn’t have it in stock! Definitely check it out!
Wooo! Thank you Amanda :) happy to help
Fantastic experience: I bought a PS3 from these guys it is very clean and taken care of the employees are really chill it’s nice to just even have a chat with them about video games the store is also amazing the name doesn’t lie if you looking for old school games they have it I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to buy old consoles or games in general they also still got PS4 or PS5 games
Fantastic experience: I had a chance to go in the store and it didn't disappoint. The owner was very nice and helpful. The store was very clean and had a nice assortment of items. I purchased a NES a little while back and I was looking for some games. I was able to pick up a few here and a zapper. It was a fantastic experience and I would go back again.
Thank you so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: One for my favorite places to take my kids. We learn communication skills from gaming and this location staff is absolutely amazing. Not to mention they give discounts when students bring in A's on their report card!!
Positive experience: Great selection, they had some very cool stuff on the shelves (JVC xeye and a virtual boy!) and a couple games for 360/og Xbox I’ve been looking for, but some of the asking prices for desirable titles were a little head scratching.
Positive experience: Staff was very knowledgeable in finding my problem with my PS3. Their working on the problem now. Very helpful and friendly.
Thanks for the stars! Looking forward to earning that 5th star
Positive experience: For retro and modern games other than getting them from Gamestop is pretty cool, and for Gashapon well, I wish that it had more of a variety of them and restocked more often, not that many places around the Hampton area have these kind of figurines or keychains. Despite all of that, I'd still love to come here every now and then. I would really appreciate if you do
Fantastic experience: This place has such a fun atmosphere, the guys behind the counter are so funny, and the game selection is great!! I love retro game shops like this
Fantastic experience: Chris was so helpful with showing me what system to get and what I needed. He made Christmas very special for my kids and made it so easy we will always be coming back to this store for now on. Great prices, great help and great information. We are so thankful and recommend this store for all your gaming needs
Thank you so much! We will pass along the compliments!
Fantastic experience: I was in a tight spot and didn't know where to well the quality pieces of my collection for more than 13 bucks. I brought in most of my collection (mostly pokemon games) and was offered quite a bit for the lot. Both cash and in store credit EXCEEDED my expectations. I was very happy with the deal I was given and I will highly be recommended these guys to my friends in the future. I will say the highlight of my visit was the genuine care provided by Lee. He was so fun to work with. And I really enjoyed hearing him eagerly call customers that had games I traded in on their waitlist ✨️ the way he'd say "hey, you know thay game you've been looking for forever? Someone just traded it in " was so great to hear real time ✨️ The staff is all fun and genuine. It's refreshing to have a local retro game store that cares so much
Fantastic experience: These dudes are awesome. I didn't feel like a customer, felt like I knew these dudes my whole life. Great prices. Amazing service. I recommend for any gaming or entertainment needs
Thanks Cody! Really appreciate that.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place great people couldn't really explain on how nice and courteous everybody can be at that place treat you like family nothing but love
Thanks Andrew, love to hear you had a good experience!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to this store bring available, one of my treasured games was scuffed and the team member there was more than glad to buff it out for me, after that it worked like new, I will return for future purchases or scratched games, great attitude by both employees, please stay open.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear it worked :)
Fantastic experience: Chris was awesome! Completely fixed my Xbox. Super helpful and real cool. I’ll definitely be coming back to buy more games and for any of my systems.
Awesome to hear! Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Called last night talked to Chris about a dsi XL after searching all day, he said they had one with box and great condition, I immediately woke up drove a hr to get it based on this info, the guy in the morning (didn’t get name) was super nice bought 10am on Jan 26 24 hope they both get the credit, it was even very good priced compared to literally everywhere else
Glad to hear everything went smoothly!! Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Overall haven't walked into a store in Virginia and gotten customer service like I have here, no price gouging, everyone in smiling, knows their consoles and games, and this store will even hold a game that you've been looking for over for you. Truly an awesome store and I hope they are around for a long time
Fantastic experience: Great store for all your retro and modern games. Definitely come back often to check what new games have been traded in.
So true, stock rotates regularly! Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: This is a fun store to buy new and used games and supplies! It's one of the best that I've been to in all honesty. The employees are extremely nice and knowledgeable
Thanks Emily!!
Fantastic experience: The other day, I came in with my son, whose a retro gamer, with his eye out for an original Gameboy. Expectations were low until I was greeted by Greg n Lee, who turned out to be bigger fanatics than my son. Well, a Gameboy had been on hold for a long time, and without hesitation, they decided to put the biggest smile on my son's face by offering to sell it to us. It's nickelodeon orange with a back-lit screen, MY SON IS IN HEAVEN!! For the past 3 days he hasn't put it down. Big thank you to these men who represented this nostalgic game store excellently!! We will definitely be back for more games and conversations with those two!!
Very happy to hear you were taken care of by our team there, and we will certainly pass along the compliments! We really appreciate your business and review!
Fantastic experience: These guys know their stuff and are super helpful. Everything in the store is more than fairly priced, and they give incredible value for trade-ins! I'm giving up GameStop and coming here from now on.
Fantastic experience: Greg was amazing, very funny and hooked me up with all the stickers I got even tho he stole the other Jennifer’s body one from me!
Glad to hear Greg got you taken care of!
Negative experience: Really tired of deciding to purchase games from Oldskool Video Game locations. Hoping management sees this and decides to take action. (I have gaming collection influence online)-so many people will see this review. Basically, I am an avid rare game collector and these stores luckily enough sell lots of Limited Run games. But, unfortunately they choose to buy the cheapest stickers imaginable and plaster them on the front covers like they are worthless. Every time I come here the stickers are impossible to take off without completely ruining the box. (They will tell you the stickers come off with heat) picture related, they don’t. In fact they just melt and damage the covers even more. It’s incredibly frustrating as a collector to have these cheap stickers plastered all over the case. I fell like management here dosent really care, or probably dosent really collect games themself. I will think twice before purchasing any game here again. This has happened to many time at these locations. I’ll stick to Video Game Haven, and GameStop until I hear management has decided to invest in the 99 cent stickers, over the 10 cent ones. Have a great day. Edit: Reply to response. Often times the stores or too busy to ask for extra assistance due to one person working inside with a long line. Second, I have asked for extra boxes before and was declined and told you didn’t have any. I’m sorry collector customers are not as important to you as the average customer. That’s why you’ll never truly be a great franchise.
Hi Chip.
I’m sorry you feel the stickers warrants a one star review. You know, we would just swap the case for you if the stickers are a problem? Or, you could ask us to remove them for you. I’m not sure what you are using to remove them but we don’t mind doing it if you are having trouble. Hopefully you’ll give us another chance, despite us not changing the stickers.
Fantastic experience: Chris and the rest of the staff awesome friendly answers any questions you may have good prices and I love old school games this store ROCKS !!! Thanks GUYs ☺️
That’s so great to hear! Thank you so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: If I could give this place 100 stars I would. I came in a several occasions to get my Wii U issues fixed and they were very helpful and did more to help then I expected. I think their names were chris and derek. If I misspelled it I'm sorry, I just know one had glasses and short hair and the other one had redish hair with tattoos. Any how Those dudes are awesome. Other companies should learn from these two when it comes to customer service. Go here before you go to any other game stores.
We will be sure to pass along the compliments to Chris and Drew!
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to get you taken care of!
Fantastic experience: Shout out to the employees! Very knowledgeable and informative. I highly enjoyed my experience when I visited and left with my favorite video games from my younger years, that I could not get online.
Really glad to hear you had a great experience! Thanks for the review!
Positive experience: EDIT: Had an amazing experience at the Portsmouth location. Upping the initial review for this location to a 1 to a 3 star. Had 3 different conversations about having a game on hold. I called asking about a super nintendo and DKC1 and DKC2. Was told that the items would be held for me. I get there 40 mins later and was told that the previous person didn't check to see if DKC1 was on hold first before telling me he'd hold it for me. ( my items were in a box waiting for me when I got there) Because of that I was told I had to wait for the initial person who had a game on hold to wait for their 48 hour window to be up before I could grab the game. After checking out the employee checked the hold and assured me multiple times that if I came in the very next day and the game wasnt picked up after 5 it would be mine. This was on 1/24/23 Called at 6pm the following day 1/25/23 asked if the game was available for pick up and was told that it was on hold until the 27th for someone else I informed the associate about my previous conversation and the associate said he cant release the game because there is a line and that the associate I spoke to didnt check the line. What good is holding things if you're not taking a deposit or getting any customer information to put with the hold to know who the hold is even for I'm not going to play phone and store tag over a cheap 27 dollar game. could care less about the price I just wanted to support local but immediately after that phone conversation I ordered it from DKOLDIES who also has a 1 year guarantee. The light skinned black guy I worked with ( sorry I dont remember your name) your customer service was great. He said the previous person didnt check to see it was on hold and then the person I spoke to today said the same thing but about him.
So after talking to the store and the staff, it seems that you weren’t given enough information.
First, we are sorry you got the run around. It wasn’t intentional, more details to follow. We try hard to satisfy EVERY customer request for holds based on the conditions and our policy.
The details:
Our system has a “wish list” and we add customers to individual items that they request. As the items come in, the system works through the list of names in order they are added.
A copy of DK1 came in, was placed on hold and you were told if they don’t get it, you could. Effectively breaking rules to try and accommodate you.
The customer came and got their game, so copy one of DK1 is gone.
Literally the next morning a second copy was traded in, and the next person on the official wish list was notified automatically via text and email (feature of the system) immediately putting it on hold for them for 2 days. So, in an effort to try and get you taken care of originally, our responsibility to prior customers took precedent and the folks on our team were just following the rules.
TLDR, we weren’t trying to make life difficult for you and tell you one thing and do another. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you’ll give us future opportunities to fulfill you game needs.
Fantastic experience: I have been wanting another N64 for years after I tragically lost mine. These guys were very nice and hooked me up with a deal. Two beautiful remotes as well as a Nintendo 64 at a killer deal. They even switched out the analog sticks on the controllers free if charge since they were loose. Definitely shop here!!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome video game store. Lots of items in stock. The store is extremely organized. Prices were excellent too. Chris was very helpful and easy to talk to. We were visiting from New Jersey and he recommended some great record shops to check out as well.durimg our trip. I wish we had a store like this up near our home. Thanks for the great service Chris!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Better than Gamestop. Lots of classic games and good vibes. Totally recommend if you wanna re-live any old games n memories.
We appreciate that compliment and review!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place, they had a huge selection of classic game systems and video games. Parking situation was okay wish they had more parking. It was in hard to get here and it was easy to find online. Would love to go back there one day if in town.
You are right the parking is rough! The shopping center and city are negotiating through that now actually. Either way, we really appreciate your visit and the review! Looking forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly! The atmosphere and the merchandise were great. They have a warranty on the older consoles as well, which is very reassuring. Definitely recommend!
Thanks Jessica, we appreciate that review!
Fantastic experience: 1st time I've ever been to this store. All the employees and customers are super awesome and amazing. The owner, Chris is such an amazing guy, goes above and beyond to help out. Definitely will be coming back soon.
Thanks Charles! We will be sure to pass along your compliment to the manager Chris and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Best place ever.i recommend Greg and Reed as they were very nice and they answered all my questions.i like to trade in stuff and they gave me very good store credit and I've never had issues with them.much better than game stop.
Really happy to hear that your interaction with Greg and Reid went so well! Looking forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: The worker behind the counter was very helpful, and they had exactly what we were looking for. A slightly hard to find controller for my son's Nintendo Switch.
Happy to hear we could help you find what you need!
Fantastic experience: The store manager Chris is awesome! Super helpful and knowledgeable. Their prices are really good too. You won’t find a store like this anywhere else!
Thanks so much! Really happy to hear Chris took care of you.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was friendly, very cool.products you can't find anywhere, very happy with my purchase
Fantastic experience: Really cool place, plenty of new and old games, new and old consoles, action figures, figurines, posters, stickers, and even store credit. Way better then GameStop and even more friendly. Only concern is the heat but really nothing some AC can't fix.
Thanks for coming by! Yea we did have a broken AC unit there for a week or so. It’s been fixed though ;)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful games, systems and customer service! The whole atmosphere of this place is overall chill and welcoming. If you have any issues with a game or system they will happily assist you in remedying any situation. Absolutely hands down, excellent experience overall! I wish I could put 6 stars!
Fantastic experience: I loved it here! Well organized store, with a huge selection (that rotates regularly), and warm knowledgeable staff. I came with my fiance and was just looking for a regular old PSP and unfortunately didn't find one but did end up chatting with other customers and the man working there for quite a while. I didn't get what I came for but I'll be back soon to see what else they bring in.
Fantastic experience: OldSkool video games and more is a top notch A+ store!!! I received wonderful service and got very fair money for my game stuff, way better than GameStop and 2nd & Charles! It's location is in a nice spot in Newport News. I am impressed with their knowledge, helpfulness, and professionalism.
Thank you for the kind words! We really appreciate your business and the review!
Fantastic experience: Oldskool is a great place for all your retro video game needs and desires. The staff is amazing to work with and super knowledgeable. They go out of their way to help you find what you are looking for. I have become a regular customer there.
That’s so great to hear, thank you so much for that!
Fantastic experience: great employees and reasonable prices. also 10% cash back/ discount for public servants makes it a must go for people who love gaming as a whole. they have everything you could think of
We really appreciate whatever service you provide to us, thank you for your business!
Positive experience: Great local video game store for the most part. Lots of good games find their way in there and they've got reasonable prices. However, whenever I have gone in to this location, there is usually one or two employees that always make me uncomfortable. In the times that I've interacted with them, they usually make very "off-color" jokes with each other or to the customers. These jokes are usually about sensitive topics too and it's shocking to hear something like that in a business environment. They never come across as funny and they always make me and my friends very uncomfortable. It's surprising considering they are grown men and it just comes off as completely unprofessional. Again, the store itself is great, but I think from now on I'll be visiting their other locations instead of the Hampton one.
Positive experience: I was honestly disappointed. I had been looking forward to checking this place out for a while since I live a good distance away but was really let down. Their slogan about high prices being in another castle is so far off base. For example Halo MCC was priced at 40 dollars used and is 20 dollars new at walmart. PS1 greatest hits that can still be picked up on amazon for $20 sealed were going for 30+.That's just two examples, there were quite a few other games I saw that they were asking double or more for. The core N64 system was $170 plus which can be picked up on ebay all day long for under $100. Either the shop is not updating their prices daily which they also say on their site or this is just another over priced store on par with Gamestop. They did have plenty of NES games but I dont think I will be going back there. The only bright side was the guy behind the counter was extremely nice and helpful to everyone in the store.
We are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the visit to the fullest extent. It’s pretty tough to compete against Amazon, Walmart and eBay regarding prices on everything. We hope that you’ll consider visiting again soon if not just for the pleasant conversation with the team!
Fantastic experience: I never EVER! write reviews. Chris was an amazing help. I promise you after my experience at old skool i will never step foot in a gamestop again.
That is so great to hear, thank you so much for your support!
Fantastic experience: Great trade values on everything from Atari era to PS5 era. Have accessories and games available for basically every console you could think of. If they don't have it in stock they offer to order it for you if it's something readily available. They also sell Funko Pops, new releases, obscure releases, etc. They carry video game soundtracks on vinyl and some select wall art and action figures/collectibles. Good return policies comparable to national chains. They do sell preowned AND new games. Very big selection of original Xbox and PS2/PS3/X360 games. Was able to find some pretty rare games for Nintendo DS and N64 here. Have purchased probably two dozen games from this particular location and have yet to have a problem with the condition of the games. They even sell protectors for their Funko Pops if you choose to do so, and at a fair price. There are currently 2 other locations besides this one, and they are able to check other stores to see if they have something in particular you are looking for. The only thing that bums me out about the store is that they do NOT carry strategy guides. Parking can also be tricky, as there are not many spaces in this strip center.
Thank you so much for the detailed review! You are right, no strategy guides right now. As for parking, we are actually currently working with the city and the property owner to improve that situation! Thank you again for your support!
Fantastic experience: Love this place with all my heart there's always nice customers and employees never have had a problem also they give way better trade in the silly gamestop I haven't shopped at any other game store since. Definitely recommend stopping in and shopping there they also have a great selection of games
Thank you!!!
Positive experience: Chris is the best employee of just about any store I've ever been in. Always has the perfect spirit and is perfectly social able. Other employees make this business look bad compared to him.
Thank you for the support! Chris is definitely unique but I hope you give the rest of the team a chance! We really do appreciate your business!
Fantastic experience: Employees have always been professional, helpful and courteous each time we've visited. Usually get a few items from the gashapon machines, stickers and the candles. Although they didn't have the candles the last time we went. Not from the area but we always return to this store when we can and will continue to. Thank you!
Thank you so much! The candles are a local vender that sadly doesn’t make them anymore! But we look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Chris is a very polite and nice sales clerk. I wanted a PlayStation 3 and I stay in Va. Beach I had to travel to Hampton VA I asked him to please hold it until I got there and he was a man to his word. Very nice guy. Will see us again. Merry Christmas
Very happy to hear you were taken care of!!! Thank you so much for your support!
Negative experience: They sold me a "brand new xbox 1 controller" no plastic wrap around it, i said something about it he assured me everything was okay so i took it home. 3 days later both of the bumpers aren't working every time i click them and i try to take it back for a exchamge and he said he cant do that he can only do store credit for what the controller is worth which was 25 dollars.... place sells old consoles and it's cool sure, but this experience left a baaad tast in my mouth
I would really appreciate more details via FB messenger to our store page. It doesn’t sound like normal procedure, and could potentially be something we can take care of and make right for you. Hoping to hear from you soon!
Fantastic experience: Nice store I dropped my video game off there to be repaired i haven't got it back as of yet...update got my system back works great they did a awsome job and the price was fair...I will be back not to mention they have all the older video games and they are super nice!
Happy to get your system back in working order!! Really appreciate your business!
Fantastic experience: This is the place for your gaming needs. Chris at the desk was very informative. He explained how they can get their hands on just about anything I was looking for and didn't push a single thing on me other than their store rewards. This guy also knew his games. I've been a strong gamer since the 80's and he had all the answers. Great store, great staff and great stuff!
Fantastic experience: They have a big selection of games , extremely reasonable prices , great customer support , employees are extremely nice , and they are not afraid to help , 100% would recommend.
Really happy to see you were so pleased with your visit!! Looking forward to having you in again soon!
Fantastic experience: Great selection of constantly evolving inventory of games and accessories. Good people and respectable prices. Solid ethic and they truly seem here to add to the community and not just leach off of it. Make sure to stop in for all your retro and modern needs.
Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Great place with awesome customer service! Chris, the employee who helped me, was very personable and knowledgeable; and he was one of the best people that I have encountered at any retro video game store anywhere. They have great prices, very clean merchandise, awesome discounts, and a nice selection. I highly recommend Oldskool.
Thank you so much! We will be sure to pass along the compliment!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience. I was referred over to OldSkool Games by a representative at games stop and when I walked inside the environment and setting is a games dream and the knowledge of the games and systems is amazing. Originally I went into the Commander Shepard location for a PS3 controller but was taken back by the game I have not heard since I was a toddler was just amazing. Killer instinct oh yeah if you are looking for old school games look no further
That's really great to hear!! Glad we could help you remember those memories! And thank you for the stars!
Fantastic experience: I came to this place, and the customer service is excellent, fast, and friendly. This store has a vast selection of games, from NES to Switch! I would definitely recommend this place to other Nintendo, Play Station, and Xbox fans! The price is also very friendly, as I bought a game for $30 less than its original value ($40). One of the best parts: if you are still in school, then for every "A" you receive on your report card, you can get 30% off of ANY game! 10/10!
That's true, the Games for Grades program is amazing! Rewarding students for good grades all while saving parents money! Thank you for the review!
Positive experience: Three stars ...I liked the layout of the store near and they had what I wanted ...but really the only thing that messed me up as far as my shopping experience was the girl behind the counter wasn't very friendly acted like she was tired of helping me .or something ..but I just walked in ...idk maybe she was have a bad day idk but not so good customer service ..but over all nice store was my first time going in the store
I'm sorry to hear you didn't have the best experience possible. It isn't often we hear that, so maybe it was just an off day? Hope we see you again sometime though! Maybe after more visits you might consider changing the rating?
Fantastic experience: This was my 5th or 6th time here, and the customer service is always on point. The ac wasn't working and the store got packed quickly, but he continued to greet people and help me with some trade ins. I'll always come here first!
Phew, AC was fixed not to long afterwards. Thank you for your understanding!
Fantastic experience: Great nostalgic gamer spot. Plenty for my 14-year-old as well as for his 45+ year-old parents who still play Atari, Nintendo, Sega and PS1. The kid will even get discounts for each A on his report card. That's what I'm talking about. We WILL frequent this place. :)
Really glad to hear you'll be back! The "games for grades" program is awesome and it's good to hear you guys making use of it!!
Positive experience: Friendly and polite staff. Selection could have been a bit better, but they do sell reproduction cartridges for snes.
Fantastic experience: Ever since i found this place last year, i quit going to GameStop. Best place ever. I've found games that's been hard for me to find elsewhere locally. Really friendly folks and a pretty huge selection of games. I love this place
Thank you so much for the positive 5 star review!!
Fantastic experience: Old Skool has an amazing selection and an amazing staff who are always willing to help, answer questions, and engage with their customers. I have over a dozen consoles including handhelds and Old Skool has games and accessories (some of which are very hard to find) for all of them. As far as pricing, they are consistently lower than GameStop, EBay, and even Craigslist in most cases. They are very fair with trades too, giving more for cash or trade than GameStop on almost everything. They have 3 locations and all of them are great, however, the Commander Shepard location is my go to just because the staff is so incredible. Old Skool wins out even among other independent gaming stores like Cool Stuff and Video Game Heaven, both of which are overpriced as hell and feel more like a Hot Topic than a game store. In short, if you’re not shopping at Old Skool, you’re doing yourself a disservice.
Wow what an awesome review to read, thank you SO much! It means a lot to all of us to see someone as satisfied as you are! We look forward to being there for you as your collection grows!
Positive experience: Good shop. Knowledgable staff. You go in there selling anything expect the same pawn shop style clerks and know what your stuff is worth or else you WILL get got lol. Dont go to this table without knowing how to play the game
Thanks for the review. We really wouldn't compare ourselves to a pawn shop, and we aren't in the business of trying to get people lol
Our system dictates what it's worth, pulling numbers from several sources. One thing we strive for is to always beat the larger corporate stores, and we typically always do that :)
Fantastic experience: The best gaming store in the Hampton roads area, it's my go to store and I'm there very frequently. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Never had a bad experience and I know if I have a problem with anything I buy and have to take it back it's hassle free. Couldn't recommend a better store!
Thanks a ton Dan, we really appreciate that review! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!!
Fantastic experience: Best old school game shop on earth. I got super mario world 3 mystery island. Very hard challenge game. Chris was a great associate to me and everyone there. Headed there for great old school games 8 bit playstation Xbox etc. Sell buy trade
Thank you for the review! We will be sure to pass along your compliment to chris.
Fantastic experience: Awesome store, very friendly, great service. My wife and my 2yr old loved it as well. Highly recommend visiting. I will definetly be back.
Thank you so much! We really love hearing you enjoyed your visit! Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!
Fantastic experience: Sold some vintage gear here tonight, and had an awesome experience. Andrew and Chris were professional and also talked with me about all the stuff I was selling. It all meant so much to me growing up. They fave me a killer payout for my gear and they seemed geniunley excited to be getting it. I'll definatley go back to buy or sell. Check it out and support local business.
Thanks a lot Larry, it was a pleasure doing business with you! We appreciated your patience while we balanced your trade with sales. We are looking forward to seeing you again sometime!
Fantastic experience: Funko Pop headquarters of Hampton! Awesome helpful and knowledgeable staff. Offers great value for used games and great deals. Great alternative to big box stores
Thanks a lot man! We really appreciate the compliments! We look forward to seeing you again soon!!!
Fantastic experience: New favorite video game place. They have everything! Staff was very knowledgeable.
Yay!! Thanks for choosing us! Hope to see you again soon! :)
Fantastic experience: One of the BEST used game stores! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and always a pleasure to chat with. If they don’t have it on the floor they will find it and get it for you within a week. I love this store and will ALWAYS shop here. I was looking for 2 years for a limited edition game that they don’t make anymore and would cost me $100+ dollars elsewhere. They made one phone call and got it for me in three days for over half the price I was going to pay.
So glad to hear we could help!! We really appreciate the review!! Hope to see you again soon!! :)
Fantastic experience: These guys where awesome! so cool and they actually know about games, I just happened to stop by while on a drive with my lady as we entered We were warmly greeted and instant feeling of coozyness overcame me. CHRIS GREG AND THE REGULAR COLLIN MUCH LOVE BTW I picked up street fighter anniversary collection and marvel nemesis for less than $20
Thanks a ton for the review!! I will be sure to pass along the compliments!! Hope to see you again sometime soon!
Fantastic experience: If you ever go to this store Chris is one of the "go to" guys. Everyone there is pretty great with customer service. Great prices and great environment. I'm 100% dedicated to buying from here from now on
Thank you so much for the review! I will be sure to pass along the compliment. Hope to see you soon!!
Fantastic experience: WOW. This place is awesome. My husband and I swing in here once a week because we love it so much! Small business with helpful associates, with the best interests of the customer in mind. I can’t rant and rave about this place enough. Also the BEST prices on the penninsula!
Thank you so much Jessica for the review!! It was a pleasure working with you guys, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Positive experience: Their employee Chris was outstanding and let me try a whole bunch of games before I bought them! Best customer service there for explaining everything 10/10! Traded in some games. The only reason not 5/5 for overall is because both times I was in there with different employees they always took customers ahead of me even though I got there first. That seems to be a theme here in the south since I moved to VA they always serve the men first and let them cut in line.
Fantastic experience: Good selection of old video games. They've got everything you can think of, and beat the prices and trade-in values of big name GameShops. Go here if you don't want to be cheated for your trades or purchases.
Thanks for the review!! We appreciate the stars!! Hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to this game store by an employee at Gamestop. I wanted to trade in some games and look for new ones that were older and Gamestop was of no help, besides the advice to go to this store. Upon entering, the staff was able to answer my questions and was very polite along with quick. Not only were they able to help with trade-in's but also had the old playstayion games i wanted. I will be going back again!
Thanks Brandon! We appreciate you coming by and look forward to seeing you soon!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome selection and prices. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for. They will assist your search and even do testing and minor teardowns and repairs. You can tell that they are passionate about their service. Would recommend for anyone looking for old or rare video games.
Thanks for the review Mike! We really appreciate you letting folk know about us! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: As a game collector, I had to drop in and check out Oldskool when I saw they had a Hampton location. I was greeted by Kyle who was very courteous and helpful. The selection was good, the games were in collection condition. The store was very organized, clean and well lit. Overall I think this is going to be a great place to shop, they even have a customer loyalty program that seems like a great deal. If you are interested in old games or prefer to not shop at a chain this seems like a great shop.
Fantastic experience: So much better than other video game stores. They don't try to rob you with only giving you a penny for a game you want to trade in. Andrew is way super helpful and very knowledgeable. Store is clean, they have a great selection of games and devices. If they don't have what you're looking for they have a binder you can put a request in for said item. Love it! Won't take my business anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place if you are a retro gamer, recommended for any generation, I go here a lot. You guys know me! - From Atari to Nintendo Switch, they got it. - Smaller than almost every GameStop I’ve been to, and somehow manages to be better than GameStop. - Staff is extremely kind, pretty much answers any question they can. Informative, and even gave us free race tickets once. - Prices are better than GameStop prices, guarantees better prices and trade values than them. - They have a discount called “Games For Grades,” it’s if you bring in a report card before two weeks after it’s been issued, they give you a discount card. You can then use that discount card one time every visit. Every “A” is a 30% off and every “B” is 10% off. You can only use the discount on games. - Great size and very well organized. - Three displays. A Wii U display, and two displays that change from time to time. - They get new stuff in a lot, so if they don’t have what you are looking for, keep coming back! There is also a wish list. You write your name, number, and item you want and they’ll call you when they get it in. Something else that’s amazing is that it’s right next to a Marco’s! Jokes aside, I recommend this to anybody who has any love for video games, and returns are accepted within a week. They can clean game discs for two bucks.
Thanks buddy!! We appreciate you mentioning all of that to anyone who didn't know!! Your an awesome family and we look forward to seeing you guys again soon!!!
Fantastic experience: You know, I used to go to GameStop. It was OK there, everything was expensive and I only really went into the Xbox section. Then, while I was going to get Mexican down in suffolk, I noticed a game store on the side. I walked in, and I never went to a GameStop again. Just recently I heard a new location opened up, and even if I haven't been yet, I can tell it's really good! I really hope this place gets popular, but if you do, don't be like GameStop!
Thank you very much! Hopefully your dinner was as good as your experiences in our stores! Be sure to stop by again sometime to check out the Hampton store!
