Experiencia fantástica: Easy and good service

Experiencia fantástica: Everytime I cross reference their prices with say, reputable sellers on eBay, I find their prices are on-point.

Experiencia fantástica: My go to for trading games and fixing systems and consoles super nice people very knowledgeable

Experiencia fantástica: Really good selection of used games in great condition. DVDs had some real gems!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently purchased Chronotrigger from them. They had a very reasonable price for it, and they were very transparent with me authenticating the cartridge. I checked all the obvious spots I knew for authenticity. They opened the cartridge and showed me the board, and they replaced the battery even though they had it replaced initially when they took deliver of it, for my own peace of mind. They demoed the game and played through it a little bit to show the game. They are gamers themselves and understand how important it is to get the process right especially when your spending $200+ for a game. Great store, great staff, and it will it now be solidified as one of my regular stores.

Experiencia fantástica: Best video game store in Portland, great staff, prices and stock. They are super accommodating and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome and friendly staff. Neat and eclectic selection of video games, AND they have a pretty kick ass selection of old school PS/2 games..... that's what I was looking for, and that's what I found, yeah!

Experiencia fantástica: Good game selection and friendly staff!

Experiencia fantástica: These people are super knowledgeable, kind, and give great customer service. They are also supportive of their community. I am not only a customer (I love Gameboys) but also an employment specialist. They gave my participant a wonderful and thorough job shadow and tour experience that was highly valuable in exploring careers. Also, their trade rates are better than in some places.

Experiencia positiva: Very courteous, helpful people A pretty good selection of the original things

Experiencia fantástica: Great location, great selection, even better employees. Need I say more gamers? But for real quit being a nerd and get in here and get you some games, plushies, consoles and/or some collectibles!

Experiencia fantástica: I remember when this location was a CD/Game Exchange and you could find plenty of good music and games at a great price. I'm happy to say that remains true, even if 90% of the games are now stored behind glass displays. This doesn't have the same level of games as most other Portland retro gaming stores, but it makes up for that with a really cool music selection and a cozy vibe that makes it fun to just walk around the store and browse. The staff are very nice and the playable NES kiosk is a really cool touch. I hope this store continues to grow into the future and hopefully match the size of the old CD/Game exchange someday.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to get some old PS3 games for my wife, who is couchbound after oral surgery - the dude was extremely helpful, friendly and efficient. I got like 5 games and a third party controller for $55. Exactly the experience I was hoping for.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff were very friendly. The selection was great for old movies, anime, and games. Plus all the stuff I bought worked!

Experiencia fantástica: This local retro game and collectible buy/sell/trade shop has all generations. There are plenty of cheap or rare games to enjoy. As a collector, they're very fairly priced and have a nest color system on conditions, etc I'll be buying a ton off them

Experiencia fantástica: Really great video game store, was able to trade in my old console and games for cash, definitely will be coming back here!

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly employees that are passionate about what they do, will definitely be coming back. Has a great selection of games and consoles to choose from

Experiencia negativa: I used to love this store. I paid $80 for a wii console that didn't work. They wouldn't take it back!

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful store containing a variety of games from a variety of systems with very knowledgeable employees.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing selection across all consoles with very friendly employees that are happy to help with whatever you need. I was allowed to play all of my games before leaving the store to verify they worked properly and was given fresh batteries for the gameboy and gameboy cartridge that I purchased at no additional cost. 10/10 store if you love retro games definitely come check this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: Helped me fill a couple holes in my collection. Very good but limited inventory

Experiencia fantástica: This place absolutely rules. Seriously, if your in the neighborhood and enjoy gaming whatsoever check it out.

Experiencia fantástica: Super awesome store with great prices, inventory and staffs. Highly recommended!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff super knowledgeable. Can't remember the name of the guy who helped me but he was about 24 years old wore glasses had brown hair and was really into explaining everything to me. Which was great cuz I'm a nanny and I knew nothing and had so many questions. I took the 11 year old that I care for and he enjoyed it too Very fun store good selection of games really cute candy tins

Experiencia fantástica: Really nice staff, and an excellent collection of games. Plus ice cream next door! Less expensive than other shops.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to buy or sell. Large selection of games and consoles. They also repair consoles and games. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for MODERN and VINTAGE games and consoles.BONUS! they're located right next to an Ice Cream shop. Convenient on a warm summer day.

Experiencia positiva: This place is great! Service is good, and so are the prices. Unfortunately, they often do not have what I am looking for. I would reccomend calling ahead if you are looking for something specific. They are super friendly, but the selection can be limited.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Prices! Great People! I bought a copy of Super Monkey Ball 2 that was defective and they took extra care cleaning it up and got it to work but still swapped the discs out any way just to ensure I would have a playable game. Also cleaned up a couple loose discs I brought in for free to make it right. Fantastic customer service! I will definitely be a returning customer! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Visiting from San Diego! Love the quant little shop and the vibes, a nice place to visit and look around their selection of games. Definitely love supporting small game stores like this and the staff I spoke to was very nice and helpful. Would highly recommend a visit and hope to come back if I’m ever in the city again!

Experiencia fantástica: The best experience I've had at a game store. The new management at this iconic Portland store is better than the original. The staff were very knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service throughout multiple visits to the store. Would highly recommend!

Experiencia positiva: Great place to find those little things and birthday gifts for your lil brother who loves magic

Experiencia positiva: Pretty cool spot for retro games. Little on the smaller side but still a decent Portland spot

Experiencia fantástica: A great mix of video games, manga, and movies . Sorta like an American version of an otaku store.

Experiencia fantástica: PS5 HDMI REPAIR @ the BEST price. This place is incredible for any gaming need and for console repairs. Got my sons PS5 HDMI port fixed very fast and an amazing job. Thank you HGE.

Experiencia fantástica: Really easy and professional trade in experience! Educated me on some retro game stuff... cool peeps!

Experiencia fantástica: Cool store, has a good selection of video game soundtrack vinyls and a nice $1 vinyl section. Also lots of classic video games. 2 years since I first went here and I gotta say this place is easily the best game store I've been too, the prices are incredibly fair and the staff friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! Pretty much the only shop I can find GameCube games. The have games and accessories for basically any console you might be interested in and regularly have new stock. Always a good selection and really fair prices. Also love the artwork and stickers they have in sometimes.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent store with a Very wide range of games. I like going there because I don’t really have to worry too much about the pricing. It always seems to be right in line with eBay which is awesome. They also seem to give fair trade-in credit value. This is my favorite video game store that I’ve been to in Portland.

Experiencia fantástica: Super easy to find they do have some parking including several spots for bikes. Theres a lot of video games here including movies! I often come in to see whats new. People will come in to trade so there’s always something new to play. Most of the games are cheap. So if you don’t have much money you could comfortably leave with 4 games. They also have retro games.

Experiencia fantástica: This place was very good, the game prices are decent and they have a wide array of stuff to buy

Experiencia fantástica: my favorite game shop in portland! hawthorne game exchange consistently has good games stocked, and the best prices i’ve seen at a local store. staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they’ve always got good tunes playing too :-)

Experiencia negativa: Walked all the way across town to get there right before they closed I was there before they closed and she refused to do business with me said they were closing and I was sol with a smirk I will never do business with them again sorry your sol now game exchange

Experiencia fantástica: Clean games and hardware, niche items, and friendly staff! Fair market prices. Love to visit here when im on hawthorne.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of games including some rare titles. They get a lot of trade ins so it's worth stopping by from time to time.

Experiencia negativa: Staff was helpful. But their prices were about 30 percent higher than retro game trader. And their selection of super Nintendo games was very small.

Experiencia negativa: They do NOT sell CDs, wasted gas and an hour plus of my time to go there and this was a month ago and it's still in the description.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff, extensive collection of physical games from throughout the decades. Definitely planning on going back for my retro hardware needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Favorite game store in the area. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, nothings over priced and always find a hidden gem when I'm there for my collection.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff, trade-ins are super fair. This is my go-to video game place in town <3

Experiencia fantástica: What a salvation this place is - they soldered a chip button back onto my car’s keyless fob, since the door lock tumbler is faulty so it doesn’t unlock with a key anymore either.

Experiencia fantástica: The person working there when we came in was super fun and chill, I didn't get their name so I can't give them the proper prsise on google reviews :( Though you know who you are, super epic store >:) (for real though it was the best and most welcoming experience I've ever had going into a store, one that sells older games nonetheless!!! Love you cashier person, you were super epic, me and my partner appreciate you <3)

Experiencia fantástica: Repaired my Switch fast! Super cool shop with great retro game selection.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store with great people working. They had an amazing selection of vintage games and the best customer service. I'll definitely be going back to see what they have available the next time I'm in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Great game selection, great prices, and a very friendly and welcoming staff. Prices were more or less in line with eBay, often even less than pricecharting was showing. I appreciated that they called out the 5 screw variants on the nes carts, I don't think I've seen that before at a store. Shows me they know a bit about what they've got. And the staff enthusiastically chatted me and my son up about the games as we checked out. Will go every time I'm in Portland

Experiencia fantástica: This was a quaint little game store. Their selection was smaller than others in the area, but they were good condition. The staff was friendly and helped us get down games we wanted to peruse through. They also sold lots of neat instruction manuals, no game purchase necessary.

Experiencia fantástica: I've only been to this place a few times but I always feel welcomed and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I know I will always find some kind of hidden gem with each visit and I usually leave spending more than I intended. Haha This isn't a problem though because everything is valued fairly and I feel like what I'm getting is worth the amount. Highly recommended if you are into retro and modern video games and consoles. They also have tons of game related memorabilia so there is something for everyone. And their merch shirts are super cute!

Experiencia fantástica: This place rocks. They got me set up with a GameCube and a few games for a decent price and a few extras! Unfortunately I had issues getting one of the games to work (Melee), but after determining that it was an issue with the console itself, they swapped it out with a working one the very same day and now everything is working perfectly. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye out here for games as they come in, love their customer service and don't see a reason to go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is amazingly friendly,and the service is exceptional. Cheaper then GameStop with less B.S.

Experiencia fantástica: Hawthorne Game Exchange is an awesome mostly used video game store that features games from the modern area through the 1980s. They have several classic game systems, a great selection of accessories, and some vinyls and movies on VHS. I always find something neat there and the staff are helpful and really go a lot for customer service. There's a huge freaking difference between corporate used game stores that suck and an awesome independent retailer like this one. Go here, give them your money, get those games. And tell Marcy hi

Experiencia fantástica: Good prices on used games and the staff are really nice :)

Experiencia positiva: We were looking for games complete in the box, specifically Zelda, but there are a variety of games for all consoles. I did pick up Silent Service for the NES and Metroid Prime Corruption for the Wii. It looked very popular the day I was there.

Experiencia fantástica: I bought in a disc for the Wii that wouldn't play anymore due to scratches, and their scratch-removal service cleared it right up.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice people in there good selection of games old and new. I would go back very nice atmosphere.
