Gaming Grounds — Attraction in Cape Girardeau

Though I don't shop here often, I love Gaming Grounds. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. I just hope Gaming Grounds can overcome the issue GameStop is facing in losing customers due to online downloads. However, Gaming Grounds also THRIVES off of classic games, events, and the fact it is a friendly local business. I'm not sure if these guys have quotas like GameStop, but they don't seem as pressured and are instead there to simply help you out the best they can and maybe chat some with you too. Super nice people and a helpful store for gamers like myself who appreciate a lot of the old classics and certain items that may be hard to find elsewhere. Even though I don't come here often, Gaming Grounds can count on me to check them out when I'm looking for...

I was here about two years ago and had a great experience as I was given a much fairer price than I had even expected for the items I came to sell. Returning recently it seemed to have lost its luster with less available. Perhaps is was As a direct result that I was barely offered anywhere near a fair price for the vintage items I had brought in to sale. If it had just been depreciation I'd have understood but the attitude this stop was much more negative...

I have recently started collecting retro systems and games and the last 8 days I have been to this store like 7 times 😆 always checking to see what's new in the inventory. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful with any or all questions. I had a item that was defective and brought it back and they replaced it with zero issues. Five stars all around for this store and I always look forward to my next visit! Thanks for keeping retro gaming...
