Galaxy Games LLC — Attraction in Palm Bay

My 9 year old son is obsessed with Pokémon and I've been considering buying a Nintnedo NES for sometime. I decided to bring my son to come check this place out on 12/19 so he could grab a few cards. My son and I were excited the minute we walked in and saw all the Pokémon and old school game consoles. We were immediately greeted by Miguel.

Miguel was awesome, hands down the best customer service! He was so helpful, patient, and friendly while helping my kid pick out a few Pokémon cards. Then it was my turn; I had no intention on buying anything, but because Miguel was so helpful, it motivated me to pull the trigger and purchase a Nintendo NES and a few games to go with it. Miguel was very knowledgeable in the game consoles and was able to tell me what was needed to get the Nintendo to function on a newer smart TV.

He was also very knowledgeable in video games as my little brother is shipping me my N64 and I couldn't remember the name of my favorite basketball game. All I told Miguel was there was a really fun basketball game on N64 that I couldn't remember the name. Apparently, that was all the information he needed as he immediately knew I was talking about NBAJam.

The coolest part of our experience, I just got done paying for my Ninetendo NES, a few games, and a handful of Pokémon cards for my son. We were walking out and my son spotted one more card he wanted. I was excited to go check out the Melbourne store so I told my kid to hold off. Miguel must've heard it in my kids voice that he was slightly bummed about not being able to get that last card. Miguel offered to hold the card for my kid until we got done checking out the Melbourne store. After we visited the Melbourne store, I decided to take my kid back to purchase the card Miguel was holding for him.

Overall, I was highly impressed with Miguel's amazing customer service and knowledge. Followed by the selection of inventory the Palm Bay store has to offer. Well definitely be...

After a 20 year slumber I finally got around to replace the DVD drive in my original Xbox and it lives again. New to the Palm Bay area i found the local Gamestop and paid them a visit last Sunday to see if they had any games for my revived console. They had a total of 3, yes 3 games and were incomplete (and I already had one of them - Halo CE) so I was quite a bit disappointed. Fortunately the young lady that worked there said I really should check out Galaxy down the street as they probably have more selection.

Fast forward one week later I googled Galaxy for their address. That wasn't as easy as I thought it would be but after some detective work by reading through their Facebook posts, to my surprise I discovered they actually have 3 locations. So bright & early this morning I started making my way to the location on Babcock. Dude! Matt was great! I walked out of there with 16 original Xbox complete games in hand for less than $70.

On the way home from there I stopped at the Palm Bay Road location. OMG, they had even more to choose from than Babcock. Forgot the name of the guy behind the counter at this one but he was awesome and hooked me up as well: 14 more complete original Xbox games for $75 out the door. So yeah folks, that's 30 complete games for less than $150.

Galaxy is like a goldmine. The selection is awesome. Staff are super friendly and you can just see their shared passion for games. And the prices? Unbeatable. The wife's out of town so I'll definitely continue taking advantage of that by sneaking a visit to the third location tomorrow to see if I can snag another haul of items from my list. Thanks guys.... and the girl from Gamestop that sent me here. Highly recommended...

What can I say about a store that hits upon my every fondness for "retro" or classic video games? Check it out!

Every time I visit, I see or come across an old title which jogs an old memory loose of my younger self, already in high school when the first consoles were released. They weren't my thing, but plenty of people I knew got an Atari or Coleco, and when Nintendo arrived my little brother was JUST old enough to score one for Christmas.

So, yeah, Galaxy Games sends me back decades to times shared in family living rooms or college apartments and we'd be sitting around playing a video game.

Now, at 57, my fingers aren't as nimble, but I still enjoy a game every once in a while, as do my own children-turned adults, one 22 the other 20. So, when we're looking for an older title, Galaxy Games is our go-to over the Internet, flea markets, or antique malls.

Their prices are pretty good, and their selection phenomenal. There's always a deal going on, too, on consoles, or console-specific games.

And the one guy that works whenever I'm in - friendly, helpful, and we swap "old school" stories. Well, that's Eric and he's there to answer questions you may have about any of the games or their respective consoles.

Galaxy Games is out of this world when it comes to a shopping experience. Stop over and game on!
