Pretty decent selection of retro games (DC back to atari) thats always changing. Prices seem set depending on the system not on how rare the game is (in most cases) and are about average ($2-4 genesis games for example)
On the downside the employees are your typical "new generation" gamer and if its not the newest most hyped game out they could care less. Which is weird because the guys at the gamestop (hype capital of the world) across the street are huge retro fans...oh well

Good idea!

Really good customer service. Been going for years and they often give good deals.
Ownership has changed twice but the service remains top quality.

The other day they went beyond duty. I bought a Saturn and they realized they didn't have a controller for it so one of the employees drove home and grabbed one from his collection and gave it to me. That is just awesome. Yesterday I bought 6 games and when he rang it up is was more than I had so he have me two of the games free.

There are not many specialty stores in my area. I avoid Gamestop like the plague because of their shitty service, quality, and prices (At least in my area). I usually pick up games at local thrift stores, pawn shops, garage sales, Craigslist ect... But when I'm looking for specific games or the impulse buy I buy from Destiny Games. Fair prices great service and very knowledgeable staff members. They have great selections from old to new systems. Anyone in the Metro Detroit area should check them out.

My favorite game store, R.U. Game in south Gainesville, Fl just got better. They now are taking in and selling Atari 2600 games! The manager resisted for a long time but finally gave in i guess. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some dupes to trade in

I may need to have my roommate stop there on his next trip home.

If traveling in the Fayetteville - Springdale area of Arkansas, I highly recommend planning a stop at Game X Change in Springdale, Arkansas.  Everytime I have went in there I have been known to spend at least 4 hours.  This is the main headquarters for all the others and it really shows.  Hands down some of the best customer service I've ever seen and literally wall-to-wall gaming goodness.

Editing for:  Thought of another one in a town I use to visit frequently when I lived closer to the area.  While Googling shows the store to be a rental place they actually sell gaming gear.  And the prices are reasonable.  Found a complete 2600 (six-switcher) for $35 which isn't bad.  I haven't been able to visit the store in 3 years so things may have changed.
