DreamQuest Games — Attraction in Poulsbo

Really appreciate having this type of game store in our local community. This is the kind of shop that has vintage arcade machines in the back. There’s a wide selection of games available across many platforms, from new releases to a few treasures from the more esoteric systems. There’s even a small section for vintage PC games. You shouldn’t expect everything for every system - but it’s worth it to check back in from time to time to see what comes through. Take your time and find a treasure or two. The owner Claire is super welcoming. She’s clearly knowledgeable about both hardware repairs and gameplay. Most importantly though, she’s clearly a gamer at heart, remaining in touch with the local gaming community. She’s not trying to rip people off, she’s not a huge corporation. She’s fair. This is a person who is passionate about video games in the best way. Let’s be grateful this place is here, and try and build some community around it. Stop in and remember why physical media from all platforms is important to protect for both past and future generations of hardware...

Love having this shop in town. It's way more than just a used game dealer, the owner is clearly passionate and deeply knowledgeable about retro game collecting and preservation. I brought in two different consoles in various states of disrepair and the owner took a ton of time with me to show me how to clean my cartridges, replace the batteries, identify fake cartridges, gave me some great info on the best a/v format for different consoles, and personally cleaned and tested both my consoles at no charge. Even if you aren't actively collecting, it would be worth stopping in here to learn how to protect and restore...

Don’t miss this gem of a store! Good selection and wide variety of merchandise. Small amount of new game releases and Pokémon cards in addition to the retro games and systems. Owner is very knowledgeable and patient, I have enjoyed chatting with her about my favorite games and developers. It’s so awesome to have this local resource, she stocks some replacement parts and can do console repairs. Also has a disc resurfacing device in case your favorite game gets scratched. Best of all, this store maintains and uses their customer wishlist! She called me as soon as a DS3xl came in on trade. Very happy customer,...
