Cool little retro store. Pretty good selection of classic games and hardware. Not cheap but not eBay or delusional retro collector used prices. Doesn't seem to ever get too crowded either so you can browse in leisure and check out all the games, curios and movies they have.

Great place sells things at a great price and has very nice staff no problems I have traded many things and have been very pleased with how much I got and I must say they have a great catalog of games.

This is my favorite video game store ever. The owner is absolutely amazing! The games he has are fantastic. He has such an amazing selection of games. And his prices are great. If your ever in the Chicagoland area and love video games please stop by and show him support. He is so nice and helpful. I have bought so many games from him and systems and they all work as if they were brand new.

Best place to buy old video games and video system. Plus you can sell your videos games for store credit or for money.
