Level UP Gaming — Attraction in Goffstown

I was finally in the area and had an opportunity to visit Level UP Gaming today and this is my honest review.

I mainly collect for NES, SNES and Genesis currently. Level Up has a meager selection. Really not all that many games to choose from for these systems, but the commons that they did have in stock were very reasonably priced. I suspect that's probably why there wasn't much inventory, but since this was my first visit I cannot confirm nor deny this.

The girl working behind the counter was incredibly polite and courteous. Genuinely seemed happy to be there which was really nice and made my visit feel more welcoming.

They had some figures and other random game merchandise as well including a few rarer World of Nintendo figurines, markup was about 20% over online prices which wasn't too bad. If you needed a gift last minute and didn't want to wait then this may be a good spot.

I saw lots of other games for newer systems as well, but I didn't really look too closely at them as that's not what I'm currently interested in collecting.

I'll give this place another go if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. For NES, SNES and Genesis I'd give it three out...

The store itself is an awesome dose of nostalgia with a very friendly atmosphere, very fun to browse and you never know what you will find. I saw a lot of very neat stuff you don't really see anymore except online. I sold/traded off my older collection of mostly 7th gen Sony games and I received an incredibly fair offer. And trust me when I say it beat the heck out of trying to piece it out on Ebay where from personal experience in another hobby the hassle/fee's can make it more trouble than it's worth doing piecemeal. I know that my items will end up with someone who appreciates them while also having the benefit of helping to support a local small business which is what we should all strive towards. One last thing Sue I took your advice and I did take my wife out to dinner and she said to make sure I thanked you when writing this review. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend if you are looking for older gen games/systems or have a collection you are seeking to trade/sell that you...

Level up Gaming has easily earned my 5 stars! I visited this store for the first time a few months ago and have been back quite a bit since! The manager Sue is very friendly and so helpful everytime I stop in! There is a wide selection of all your retro gaming needs and even if they dont have something in stock, they make sure to contact you when they do have it in. I will say, they are a bit pricey. However, all retro games are overpriced, arnt they? Sometimes I'll find certain games on ebay or another online store for cheaper but its also vice versa...sometimes the game I want on ebay is cheaper at Level Up. If you want the cheapest prices for your games...you'll have to do some shopping around. I will continue spending my money here without a question! Sues friendly demeanor and passion is worth it alone to me! It makes it easier to spend so much money when your giving it to a good person that provides excellence! Great local Business & definitely one of my new favorite places...
