Game Over Videogames

Experiencia fantástica: Managed to pick up an Indigo GameCube with my fiancée from here after being helped greatly by the South Lamar store. Staff here are great and are enthusiastic about the product which helps. Love these stores.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection and friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: We went in looking for a game boy color game and found what we were looking for. The staff was nice and helpful. Lots of selection, we stayed a bit and looked around as there is a lot of inventory to check out.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place great customer service they're very helpful and friendly. If ya'll want a great experience ask for Jordan he's AMAZING!

Experiencia fantástica: Always nice to be there

Experiencia negativa: Edit to the response: When I called, the employee checked the computer to confirm you carry the item, and explicitly told me the system showed ZERO in stock. When I arrived 20 minutes later, he looked at the same computer, and suddenly the system showed FOUR in stock. Then he walked over to the case to point them out. Inventory systems don't magically find 4 items in 20 minutes. He saw you had 4 on the phone, lied and said you had 0 to get me to drive down, and then used the "surplus" excuse to lowball me once I was trapped in the store. That is not a mistake; that is a dishonest sales tactic. Original review: I called ahead to ask about trading in an mClassic adapter. The employee checked his system and explicitly told me they had ZERO in stock, so I drove all the way over. When I got there, he suddenly says they have FOUR of them sitting in the glass display case right in front of him, priced at $99 each. After he pointed it out he didn't even apologize for the lie over the phone, instead saying "I've never seen anyone buy them, so that's why". I mentioned I'm just looking for like $20, which itself is a ripoff. Instead, he used his own stock that suddenly exists against me, saying "Oh, looks like we have four, so that factors in," and offered me an insulting $10. You are selling these for $99 but offer $10? And you lie on the phone to bait customers into the store? If you want to rip people off, at least be honest about your inventory. Don't tell me you're out of stock just to waste my gas and time. Absolutely ridiculous.

Experiencia positiva: Good but didnt have the games i was looking for

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love this place. Its like walking through time. Mini console museum, retro 8 bit music. Just so nostalgic. And the staff are always friendly and the place is always clean and organized.

Experiencia fantástica: Incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable employees.

Experiencia fantástica: We went this morning and Tony was unbelievably beyond helpful!!! This store was sooooo cool, really excited to find more fun games here! Really loved the display with all the history of consoles that was really neat! Thanks for answering our questions and being super helpful!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very cool place, lots of retro consoles on display and for sale.

Experiencia negativa: I tried to sale some items to this location an they totally tried to rip me off so I took my items elsewhere…your really better off saleing your items yourself because what they give you compared to what they sale your items for is robbery

Experiencia fantástica: Great place! Good people! They gave me a fair deal on some trade-ins and they're always helpful!

Experiencia fantástica: Good selection of classic games

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! Staff is always nice the selection is good and they even have a small Museum of ancient video games

Experiencia fantástica: Solid selection, nice staff

Experiencia fantástica: Super helpful, super kind. Great selection, and a cool little history of video games museum in the corner. Check these guys out and get something.

Experiencia negativa: I've been to the south Lamar location. Very nice employees. Derek was here and I was asking about a video game I wanted to sell and he made an offer on it and I asked what percentage he was using and he said he didn't want to "fight" me and didn't want to look at the rest of my games. That was a very unfriendly experience. I wasn't there to haggle I just wanted an understanding of their methods before I bring my collections. I have a collection of games from various consoles dating back to NES and I just found it difficult to work with this organization. I won't be the last person to come in to sell stuff but that's not how you treat people.

Experiencia positiva: Great prices on trade ins and older gaming items..

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place great customer service all the time prices could be a little pricey but it's worth it Retro games rock better than the new aged thanks Game Over ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: The cool dude working for this morning. 4/1/25. Super cool. Cooler than any madden touchdown celebration. I appreciate his quick thinking and people skills. Thanks for the help with my new aka old maddens

Experiencia fantástica: My kids love this place they are very helpful every time

Experiencia fantástica: Great place, is how a videogame museum.

Experiencia positiva: Overpriced but understood because they are rarities and unopened still wrapped

Experiencia negativa: Selection is okay. I’ve given this location two chances and the customer service is meh. The small brown dude (didn’t get his name) is always unpleasant and has awful customer service skills. Wouldn’t be surprised if people start drifting away. Disappointing. I wanted to like this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to shop for any video game collector, friendly employees and tons of stuff to look at. Left with n64 007 goldeneye and a new n64 joystick replacement part. 10/10 would shop again.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place . Great prices. Staff is extremely knowledgeable. Lot of retro systems and games. Cool gamer gifts

Experiencia fantástica: Love this location! The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. My only go-to for games!

Experiencia fantástica: My personal fav store for retro gaming.

Experiencia positiva: great store i like the retro consoles and games i bought some games from here but i refunded 2 games but was told theres no cash back refunds only store credit which is bogus and the fact that i was offered $5 for a a limited collector’s edition of a game for the original xbox was kinda wack

Experiencia fantástica: was super awesome we found exactly what we were looking for :33333

Experiencia negativa: Don't take your system here to sell they cheap out and talk down to about your system right in front of your face. Might as well be gamestop with the way they treat you when you come in for a trade in.

Experiencia fantástica: I got the video game I was looking for years and it was affordable

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to build out your collection!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is great. They sell video games and consoles going back to the beginning. I go for NES and Wii games but they have up to PS4 stuff. Update: they reorganized the store and its a lot better. Still same great stuff.

Experiencia fantástica: Came in to trade in some retro consoles. They didn't accept everything but were very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of PS1 and Gameboy games especially.

Experiencia fantástica: Great little spot for all your retro game needs! Quick and efficient to sell or trade some things in. Store is super clean and staff are always excited to see ya. They support local artists which is super adorable! Always love coming to see what's new in store!

Experiencia negativa: Service was good. Prices, not so much. Went to purchase Beavis and Butthead for the Gameboy for a friend. They were charging 60 DOLLARS for a game that is 42 DOLLARS on PriceCharting. What’s next, yall are gonna sell South Park: Snow Day for the Xbox for 40 dollars when PriceCharting says it’s EXACTLY 20 dollars? I was going to sell my xbox snow day game there too. But I don’t want people buying an undervalued game for over its value. I will be buying my friends Beavis and Butthead gameboy game from eBay. 2 stars due to good service.

Experiencia negativa: Unbelievably overpriced. I'm talking double (and in one case, triple) the values of PriceCharting. Not sure why these guys charge Cali prices when the retro gaming scene has dried up in Austin, but here we are. Won't be shopping here again, unfortunately.

Experiencia positiva: The Anderson Lane one often has the best collection of “last Gen games”, but their prices are “non-negotiable”…even if you show them their prices are too high compared to GameStop and eBay. I know they buy the games for Pennie’s on the dollar, so not sure why things are not negotiable. Just go when they offer a sell.

Experiencia fantástica: Keep this place in business, make GameStop go bankrupt

Experiencia fantástica: I was in the area for a few days from the East Coast and decided to check out some game shops in the area. Game Over on Anderson was the first one I went into and lost track of time!! I just kept going back and forth between the different Game Over locations. There is so much to choose from, the prices are unbeatable, the staff were amazing, and the sale was a great surprise, and there’s even a small museum in their main location! I wish I had places like this back home.

Experiencia fantástica: If I could live in this store, I might just do it. I love the place. From the classic video game soundtracks running in the background, to the huge selection of vintage games and consoles, it’s paradise for somebody like me who grew up on 8 bit and 16 bit gaming systems. they also buy your old stuff. I sold my PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii with a bunch of games and ended up with $150 in store credit to play with. Love it!

Experiencia positiva: Not what I was hoping for. Sold an item and wasn't completely ok with the price but friendly service, clean and organized. It's a unique museum with older lost in time game consoles and games.

Experiencia positiva: They boast an impressive variety of games and accessories, yet the downside is their less-than-competitive rates for new but 'used' games. Nevertheless, overall, it's a good spot for gaming needs with a diverse selection to choose from.

Experiencia fantástica: I am willing to change my mind and give credit where credit is due. I was originally frustrated with this store due to, in my encounters at least, the fact that they rarely had cash on hand in the past whenever I would attempt and sell games. I have since changed my mind after the owner personally reached out to me through email and we had a meeting of the minds. That kind of personal attention does not go unnoticed or unappreciated on my end David! I am now a regular customer at the Anderson Lane location and since Derek is the only staff member I know by name there, I will shout him out. Derek is a very competent manager and extremely knowledgeable about retro gaming and I have also seen first hand his ability to multitask a very busy store. Game Over is one of Austin's own. It started here and, while it is not a perfect business in my opinion, (and truly, what is?), it is far greater than the other options that we have available. I'm looking at you Happier Times lol...more like Bummer Times. So I am here to revise an old poor review and give David and Derek a very sincere thumbs up! Please keep up the good work! Me and my beloved city need you!

Experiencia fantástica: They were really nice .my son wanted a ps4 controller so we stopped by 10 minutes before they closed the guy's there didn't mind at all they gave him the cord to charge for free had a great selection of old games and consoles.

Experiencia negativa: I sold them 14 Xbox 360 games and only got $25

Experiencia positiva: Do you buy NES and 64 games? or if they can be changed for ones from nintendo switch

Experiencia fantástica: Guy at the store was super chill and really nice to talk to. Was like talking to an old friend. He was really helpful too in my search for a copy of Final Fantasy on gameboy advance. Sadly wasn’t in store, but I’ll hold hope for it.

Experiencia negativa: They sold me a 3ds xl and i expected it to work, but when i got home i plugged it in, only for either the battery to be unplugged or the charger to just not work. Please at least ask to turn them on if you shop at this store.

Experiencia fantástica: Great and friendly staff. Also helped me out after a car accident near their store. Thanks again y'all

Experiencia fantástica: One of the most decent place to spend an evening in AustinTX . Family friendly. Excellent customer service. Derek will answer you any questions. Love the video game museum free! Spanish speakers available. Little local small business gem!

Experiencia positiva: Friendly and helpful...just didn't have what I wanted

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for selling or buying older video games. I had a lot of Xbox 360 games that I didn't want so I took them in for some cash. I've also bought some SNES games from here that I used to have as a kid. My wife has brought in an entire N64 system that was turning off on her and they helped her figure out the problem and got it fixed! Awesome store, awesome staff and awesome games!

Experiencia fantástica: Not much words needed in my opinion. Kind service. Kind customers. Chill atmosphere. Great selection of consoles and games. Reasonable prices. Would definitely return.

Experiencia fantástica: The store only has one employee working, which is normal, however we were skipped over at least 3 times even though all we wanted to do was buy a few games. The employee wasn’t unfriendly but he was far from helpful. Update: thanks to ownership for replying to my review and I've shopped at this location multiple times since and the service was excellent. Updating my review to reflect my latest experience.

Experiencia fantástica: This store and its staff are just great. Great selection and prices, and the staff are always willing to chat or even educate the customer about the myriad consoles. Derek in particular has helped me many times over the years. If you're a gamer don't sleep on this shop!

Experiencia negativa: Did not post the correct hours online and showed up expecting someone to be there. (maybe fixed?)

Experiencia fantástica: A great place with friendly staff, good prices, and hardware that I have had no problem with

Experiencia fantástica: Very cool place! Helpful staff. Huge inventory. Well organized. Loved it!

Experiencia negativa: do NOT buy any retro video games from them. I purchased 3 Pokémon games from them and had to return them all for hardware issues. They have the worst repairman working on all of the retro games.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved this video game store. Small but lots of find inside

Experiencia fantástica: The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. They have an amazing selection of games and systems. I'll definitely be going back.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent as usual very knowledgeable staff we love visiting the museum part of the store and there was some pretty sweet buy to get one free game sales today loyal shopper at this location since 2016

Experiencia fantástica: Game Over off Anderson has been my go to video game store for years now. I come in every now and then during my lunch and I always manage to find something that catches my eye. This Game Over location specifically is something special -- the welcoming atmosphere and service is consistently amazing. Big shoutouts to Derek and the team, he really knows his stuff and just seems to genuinely care about the customer experience. I'm moving outta Austin soon, but wanted to post this review to show my appreciation. Wishing yall nothing but continued success!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place some cheap games. And they trade very fair. And great customer service.

Experiencia fantástica: I love it. Took my family and my husband and my brother in law loved the history of the consoles and bonded a lot over the games. Such a cool store.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store! Lots to choose from and the retro selection is on point. Thanks for all your help, Tyler

Experiencia positiva: There’s a dude of short stature with big eyes who stiffs people out of trades. DO NOT TRADE WITH HIM you’re better off coming back later. Rest of the staff is nice and very fair and the location has a good selection.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is just amazing to behold inside. Go show them some love!

Experiencia fantástica: If you love video games, new or old, this place is for you. They have everything from jaguars to kinect for xbox1 and all the games on any system you can imagine. Plus, a gaming museum.

Experiencia positiva: Was a little bit slow, I went in and bought a few games for my xbox 360, and I purchased MW3, but walked out with a scratched MW2 disk in the case. Line was slow even though there was only one person in front of me and 2 registers. Probably wont be going back for anything.

Experiencia fantástica: The original❣ Fully loaded with games, systems, adapters, accessories such as plusses, Keychain, Pop!s and a not to forget a great staff; full of knowledge and ready to help.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been here countless times. It’s amazing for retro game collectors. Great staff, great stock, great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Whatever beloved game or console from your childhood that you can think of, Game Over Videogames will most likely have it. Fantastic selection!

Experiencia positiva: Great place to go if you're a buyer - do not by any means come here to sell. I had over 20 ps2 games, 2 consoles and 4 ps1 games. They have me $50 dollars for all of it. I took back some of the nicer games from my original sale, and they knocked it to $25. When I went to Ressurected Games, they gave me half of what it goes for in Amazon. Walked out with $106 for 6 games.

Experiencia fantástica: I have shopped and few locations of game over video games and don’t have a single complain and just have nice things to say. I was wanting to play old 360 games and bought a used 360 from them right before pandemic and never had any issues with the system. Bought few used games over the time and everything works perfect. Very friendly staff as well.

Experiencia positiva: If you're ever looking for that one game that you haven't played since you were in third grade or a cord for a console that you happen to find in your attic, you can find anything here. They also have awesome stickers and up-to-date games as well. It's just a place that you need to go in real quick if you have a little bit and when I say a little bit I mean like a good 40 minutes to blow because on top of being a store they also have a little museum from the very first console to up-to-date consoles. So just go check it out

Experiencia fantástica: Visited today to get GameCube controllers. Great selection of retro games and peripherals from all systems. They even sell old broken systems so if you're missing a part for a system you're fixing, check them out. The staff is knowledgeable about the stuff they're selling and very friendly. Pro tip: the online website is separate from the physical locations. Check out the inventory. This is absolutely my new place to buy old stuff for my gaming hobby. Looking forward to coming back again and again.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has a great combination of retro to current gaming needs. Friendly staff and you never know what you will find as new stuff always arrives.

Experiencia fantástica: My boyfriend and I bought an original NES from this location, but we were only able to get it to play one of my Nintendo games from youth. We brought the console back in as well as a couple of games that we were having trouble getting to connect, and Derek showed us the right way to clean my old cartridges and got our system back up and working in less than 30 minutes. I’m giving this location five stars for the amazing customer service. Thank you so much Derek!!

Experiencia fantástica: A really great store with staff that know their stuff. The always have a solid game selection and the employees can give you feedback on which games they've played and recommend. The prices are fair for items and there are a lot of hidden gems among the accessories and as/is section.

Experiencia fantástica: New to Austin and I was impressed with this store. Friendly, knowledgeable, patient staff and a great selection of vintage games and systems

Experiencia fantástica: Any real gamer should know this place...always helpful and nice..prices pretty good too!

Experiencia fantástica: I loved the customer service! Some of the best I have ever seen!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome selection. Very fair trade in values. Great customer service. If you’re looking to get games on previous gen consoles this is def the place for you.

Experiencia fantástica: First time in since the remodel - looks nice! Pretty quiet this Sunday a afternoon, but helpful staff, good experience. We traded in a handful of old systems, controllers, and games, and picked up a Sega Genesis controller.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place 4 vintage video games and everything you can imagine for being a gamer love it

Experiencia negativa: The employees are great, but they deserve better. The owner of the company doesn't care about the well-being of his employees. Sexism runs rampant, the games are overpriced, and there are other (better) retro video game stores to shop from. Save your money.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so in love with this store and the staff is super friendly They fixed our gameboy, we bought an Atari, we come here at least once per month to get more video games!

Experiencia negativa: Came in on 1/8/2021 around 1:30 and when I walked into the store I thought it was completely empty until I heard rustling in the far back. The only 2 employees present (Derek was one) and a younger guy didn't even seem to care someone entered the shop. The only reason I mention this is because I've been to the Lamar & Park North (SA) location and at each, the employees there seem ready to welcome you and help find items you're looking for. Felt like I was an inconvenience so I talked myself out of buying any products. Maybe the sales pressure of GameStop is why their employees try to engage customers, I would just prefer to spend money on local establishments. Safe to say I'll never return to this location, which is unfortunate because it has a bigger footprint than the other two I mentioned and a seemingly more robust product selection.

Experiencia negativa: Ordered online what I received was a worthless piece of junk. Will never shop online with this store again. Customer service is not letting me exchange item or get store credit. They are basically stating my fault and that I should have shopped in store. Oh wait there is a pandemic right now and most of is are unable to shop in store. Buyer beware!

Experiencia negativa: the store itself was nice and calm, however the young man working there was constantly misgendering me when I clearly had a pronoun mask on that said " He Him". he emphasized the word Ma'am during our conversation, making eye contact several times and definitely looking at my mask. not coming here again. I dont care if someone agrees with my identity, but you can literally have human decency to respect someone. if he didn't want to call me "Sir" he could have literally just not said sir or ma'am at all in the first place. be better.

Experiencia fantástica: The store manager Derek was an outstanding dude. Aside from helping me find what I need we had great conversations while I shopped around. Game Over Videogames is the top tier spot in the area for the retro and modern goodies.

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I only wish I knew about this place years ago.

Experiencia fantástica: These guys are just simply amazing what a great store with even better employees you can safely say that you will never regret walking into the store and or saying that you didn't get a fair deal from these guys.again to simply put it flat out amazing can't give it enough stars do yourself a favor and visit one of these stores today you won't regret it

Experiencia fantástica: Krazy variety of games on all systems and many different conceals. Great place to shop for game

Experiencia fantástica: Yo, this place was straight up awesome! They have the games I was looking for, and the staff are awesome and helpful! Next time I stop by Austin, I'll be coming back for more games!

Experiencia fantástica: Derek(probably misspelled that) is super awesome. Very personable and had the answers to all of my questions. Thanks dude!
