6/6/2021This is THE BEST place to get any and all of your retro video game needs!!! My boyfriend introduced me to this place back in 2018 and I was impressed! Any time we are in the area we stop in and get something. This shop is amazing and we will bring business as much as we can in the future and highly recommend shopping here if you're looking for video games! We even mention it to people out of state to stop in if they head to the LA area.

3/19/2021I really hate this place. The person who answered the phone was very rude. I just wanted to ask a simple question. The person on the other side was very rude. I would not recommend calling them. They are rude

3/5/2021I love this place. I first ran into these guys at frank and sons and once I found out they had a shop it was over for me. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They have so many games I'm sure there's something there for everyone.

6/18/2020Older, used games stores are a dying breed. As with any used game joint, the selection and availability is always in flux, but that's part of the fun isn't it? Being there at the right moment, finding the right game at the right price. Browsing through luscious, mouthwatering treasures that are NES and Genesis games. I'm quite happy with finding an excellent example of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out and Dragon Warrior. It's like being at a auto junkyard, digging up for precious parts, except it's video games!
The owner and staff are quite friendly, and hardcore knowledgeable. Even better, they fix consoles. Old Sega CD units, Playstations, etc. My wife would stab me with a blunt object, if she knew how much I was spending here.
While they've been mostly closed during the pandemic, I'm looking forward to getting back in here while the daily grind lunch break. - Savanna B.Covina, CA0420
1/18/2021Expect to not be able to look around right now while the pandemic is going on. There is someone that will help you at the door and go get whatever you are looking for if they have it. They suggest to check their Instagram to look around before you come since they post everything they have!

3/26/20191UP videogames glad I found this place the only place that had a gameboy advance sp for my little guy. Looked everywhere around my area none to be found. I've had heard of this place from others so decided to give them a try and like I said so glad I did.
They have a huge selection of classic games and classic consoles like the famous ATARI which is my favorite gaming console of all time that's what I grew up with, also saw the Nintendo classic,N64 and Sega amongst others. The prices are very reasonable saw a lot of games starting at $5 pretty much their prices are much lower than others around.
The store itself pretty clean and customer service friendly and knowledgeable. It is located in downtown Covina so it might be a little hard to find parking other than that will be returning for some more classic games. - Kevin M.Rowland Heights, CA23213312
9/7/2020Updated reviewI would be flattered if they could assist me or be nice about it yet they have the balls to go ahead and call me out for it. Very unprofessional. I was having some possibility of buying a regular video game from here but now after reading the owner's comments, I changed my mind. Avoid at all costs!

A restored gamecube controller with new analog sticks for 35 dollars is completely normal. We sell out of them every week and we supply a big portion of the competitive smash community with their controllers. No one has any issues paying 35 dollars. You seem to be the only one trying to buy one for 5 bucks. We do a lot for the GameCube and smash community and for you to come in here and try to blast us for our fair pricing is not cool. We are sorry you don’t see the value in original Items. Everyone else seems to. Checking your review history tells me maybe you should stick to crying about not getting free refills at Carl’s Jr.. You have a nice day Kevin.

7/6/2019Previous reviewThe prices for the video games are okay but the prices for the gamecube controllers are really ripped off. $35 for a used black purple or silver gamecube controller is very expensive. Don't forget you have to pay tax. The orange is $50 (maybe $40 might be fine). If they could change the prices on the GameCube controllers, I would come.

10/31/2020In there anyway to speak with somebody but Chris about the process of reimbursement from insurance company for Nintendo switch? Chris fixed water damage for the switch and charged us $110 a couple months ago and I'm thankful for that but he is not cooperative with the insurance company so we haven't been able to receive the reimbursement.

8/10/2020They fixed my nintendo switch when the left side wasn't working! Very nice and fast! Pricing was good as well.
