Nice place. A wide selection of all playstation and xbox era. Sometimes you get a good deal but thats very rare. Most of the time, prices just reflect the online prices. The only advantage to frequenting this place is they sell games in very good to excellent condition with very few scratches. So theyre standards for trade in resales are high so you know youll be buying a clean copy. Unfortunately, you most likely will neve find a game worth over 60 bucks at this store due to their list of private collectors getting first dibs
If you like video games you need to come here. The place has a great staff and a bunch of old goodies. Definitely a place for someone who wants to take a trip back in time.
Best video game shop in Atown.Need a jawn? They got it. Great DVD and Blu Ray selection too. Guy actually gives FAIR trade in values. Staff is always friendly and real. Great selection on consoles and vintage and retro gaming. Once again they got the jawn you looking for. Great deals on everything. Skip the other stores, go here.5/5Best video game store around.
I was an employee at this location for about 4 years. During that time I met several people including my wife, and my best friend. So I kinda have a soft spot for this place. I have been a gamer since childhood. While I know the store is not perfect, when I discovered this hidden treasure trove, it was like all my game need dreams had come true. Ive heard all the chatter about the manager, but hes a good guy. Even after I had a heart attack and stroke within four months of each other, and was no longer an employee, the people here vwere good to me. To this day, people who see me in the neighborhood recognize me as the big guy from the game store!!! Only complaint is the lack of import games and SEGA Saturn and Dreamcast merchandise.
Below average store, with poor selection of collectors pieces. Ive tried hard to give this store a chance but the owner is often arrogant towards customers and I have overheard him criticizing and putting down his employees in front of patrons. I hear that most of the good stuff is sold online or offsite and the owner brags that he doesnt even play videogames. Prices are actually decent but again they dont ever seem to have anything good for sale. On a positive note the employees are nice and helpful.
Great selection and great price. If you are looking for PS2 games or games for any console... This is the place to go.
Small store with a limited selection. The staff on duty at 2pm this Monday was very helpful and friendly here, and the place looked decently clean. Id like to rate this higher, since any small used game store is a rare gem, but the store and selection are both small. Worth stopping by if in the area, and would give 3.5 stars if it was an option.
Last time I went to them they really helped me everytime I’m in the market for games sell or buy I go to them the ppl their very knowledgeable
Good variety of games and consoles, at reasonable prices. Friendly staff - but avoid the owner at all costs. The guy will put you down if you buy anything he doesnt consider good, very rude guy, and Im not trying to be funny here, but kind of stinks. Literally the guy smells a bit off. Avoid him and youre good.
Great selection of games and movies, and plenty of hardware if youre looking to buy a console too. The guys there are super friendly too. Some desirible titles at decent prices, would definitely recommend stopping here. A gem in downtown allentown.
Tried to sell my Wii U, perfectly functional and with all components... but they would only buy it for $25 dollars with a f**king iconic game called Super Smash Bros 4, and they have to shoot it down. Staff can be friendly but they can be cheapskates and at times condescending. Why does it have to be THAT cheap for a console that is only a generation away? Ridiculous...
Lit, they have old school consoles and new gen consoles staff chill polite,name a game for any console they most likely have it , don’t listen too harsh critics on here ,just go check out the store an you’ll feel like you walked in too video game land , better than GameStop I bought a Xbox one game from here the other day used ,disc litterly had no scratches for 20 dollars less than what GameStop was offering. A yoo 5 stars indeed show them some love go get you some games .
I like the store it has wht ever game u need and the owner is well respectful
If you like to own DVDs or play retro games - this place is a must stop in Allentown. HUGE selection of NES, SNES, Genesis, PS 1-4, Xbox, etc. carts and games. Also if you need retro accessories, they have them. Great folks wo run that place as well.
They gave me an offer for some games, I returned to the store a week later and was offered less than half of the original offer. The owner waited until I had gone out of my way to bring my games, then dropped the price when I arrived.
Courteous, knowledgeable staff. Great variety, and really good prices for selling or trading! Go check them out!
Greediest gamer stored in the all Lehigh valley but because of the small amount of stores in the allentown they have take advantage of the gamer community for almost 4 years now. I dont recommend no one to go this place specially trying to sell or trade games . 7 pawn shop or 2 and charles will treat you respectfully and dont fair in 80 percent of the times . Just remember if you are hardcore gamer like myself you better go online and order your games and accessories there if you wanna get better quality and products
Where has this store been all my life? The prices were cheaper than ebay, not to mention more affordable than other game stores that I frequent in Bethlehem/Allentown/Quakertown. If youre reading this review and are on the fence, check it out. LOTS of games, consoles, dvds, etc. Love this place
Bought multiple consoles and games from here. Wonderful experience Everytime. Me and my friends enjoy the service, selection, and extremely affordable prices.
Great store if youre looking for DVDs or Xbox and PlayStation games but minus one star for a very limited selection of Sega Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn games...which was the main reason I checked out the store.
Staff very nice and knowledgeable. Large inventory
Never shopping here!!!!! Purchased two Playstation remote on Saturday 8-15-2015.My step son only needed one so I went back today 8-17-2015. Three days later not asking for a refund but for an exchange and I was going to purchase more items,I was told they would exchange the item. They gave up another $40.00 that I was going to spend today over not exchanging the remote $10.60 that was never opened. Worst store in Allentown!!!! I will never shop there again!! I will file a complaint with Better Business Bureau!!!!
Employees were very friendly and chatty, they offered a good deal on some games and accessories I brought in, and even offered some great advice on where to find CRTs for cheap! Thanks guys!
I love this place! Such a large variety of both games and movies. The guys that work there are so knowledgeable about the games, movies and consoles they offer.
Its usually a fair place. However I suggest calling anytime you plan on going. It frequently opens later than time posted or if closed no notice left. Its quite frustrating.
Proper nerds doing their nerdy duty. Nice selection of cheap DVDs too. A bit hard to navigate the titles at a glance but a nice broad selection across platforms old and new
Great place! I come here for the Starting Lineups! I look forward to the next shipment of sports legends!
For selling used games & such I always.come here!!! They offer more than game stop every.time!!! Great customer service!
Nice little game store just wish they had video game case that were out from behind the case hard to see the prices otherwise great place
Dope store! Very chill environment with a good selection of games. Will be back for sure
I shopped a game here, 10/10.
Just stopped in with a friend,located next to the pretzel place on Hamilton between 8th & 9th.Wideselection of used DVDs priced between $2-$3.
Friendly staff, good prices, and a clean space. will shop here again
Don’t go here they’ll try to head crack you for video games and their mad technique with the cd. They wouldn’t even take it even if theirs a fingerprint on it.
Great selection of movies starting at $2. Pretty good prices for video games on most systems.
Great place to find old, classic movies. Prices are also great! Very friendly and knowledge staff.
Their service was excellent. Prices were decent and the environment was welcoming.

Sell trade or buy consoles or platforms cheap videos games and movies if you are selling they will offer the lower amount of money than others.Here they buy and sell consoles and video games both old (nintendo 65) and modern (ps4 or Xbox one) and used movies. But you get paid for what you are selling less than in other places.
Good customer service, they know about games
No no no

2022-06-12First thing, besides video games and consoles, they also have a wide assortment of DVDs. Second, they have some very cool stuff. Im a video game junkie, especially when it comes to the classics. Nostalgia hits the wallet everytime. They have Nintendos, N64s, Game Gears, Playstation, Atari, all that. Vintage games with the cases and manuals. Some of these games are not cheap. Especially, when you compare a Sega game to an XBOX 1 game and ask how something like that can go for $130. They have all the new titles and consoles too. The guys that work there are super friendly and can talk games for days. Love it.

2020-09-07At least 50% of my total collection came from this place & I could still pay my rent! Saying a lot with certain retro gaming stores these days...New location is great. Great variety from NES to Xbox, huge collection of DVDs too.
