I hope my Review helps you on your game collecting...

I have visited a lot of retro video game stores throughout the state to include the Bay Area, Southern California, Central Valley… and numerous other places. I’ve also been collecting retro video games for over 15 years and have been an avid gamer for over 40 years. So I say this with conviction…. Fire and Ice Games is quite possibly the best retro video game store in all of California.

The moment you walk in the door you are overwhelmed with the sheer size of this place. The square footage is unreal. You could probably fit a diesel truck and two trailers in this place. No exaggeration. Secondly… their game inventory is unbelievably massive. They have video games for every system you could think of from Dreamcast to TurboGrafx-16 to Sega CD to Virtual Boy and of course NES, SNES, GameCube, PlayStation 1 – 5, and all the XBOX’s with their confusing names (lol) and so many more. You can tell that the staff at Fire and Ice Games care about their product. Each game appears to have been cleaned and cared for and is placed in a protective plastic sleeve; making each used game feel new again. In addition to a great selection of common titles with reasonable prices, they have sooo many heavy hitters (rare and pricey games) here! It’s literally insane.

They also have a wide selection of retro game consoles available for those of you just getting into the retro game scene and looking to pick up where they left off in their childhood memories. Also, Fire and Ice has a wide selection of Pokemon cards (if that's your thing) and board games. Matter of fact, I believe a Pokemon tournament was happening the day I showed up. Which was cool. Sorry, I’m an old guy so I don’t really understand the card game.

Lastly, the best part of this store is not the size, the selection of games, or consoles, but it's their staff. Their staff was quick to help as soon as I walked in the door. I didn't have to seek out assistance, because it seemed like when I appeared that I may have had a question or request, they approached me first to provide immediate help. You can tell they had a deep passion for games, customer service and customer experience. I also had a chance to meet the owner Ryan. He was such a great guy who enjoyed talking about the gaming community. Additionally, I believe the other staff member who helped us was Dare. Dare was super helpful and was excited to talk about games. Dare was awesome!! This place is worth the drive from Lodi!! Much Love to everyone at this shop! I’ll definitely be...

In an age where everyone downloads their games from over the Internet, and where consoles are increasingly bought through various online marketplaces, it's stores like this that remind everyone of the lovely and very, very nostalgic aura that game stores still bring to this day.

If you're wondering what kind of inventory to expect to see from a visit to Fire and Ice, well frankly, just keep two words in mind: nostalgic and diversity. Seriously, almost any game console from any era you can think of is right here, and it's honestly extraordinary to see.

I'm not saying, for example, they may have a PS3 game or two, and maybe some Wii discs in the back stockroom complete with second-hand "Used" cases to boot; no, not here. Picture pleasant memories from by-gone console generations, build up an expectation for what you're going to find, and then be prepared to throw those expectations out the window. Anything from SNES, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast... even Coleco! There are several of these machines readily available, some even with their original boxes. The machines they carry are plentiful, very well-cared for, and are being offered at very good prices.

Not to mention the software library. Both the cartridges and discs are not only also very plentiful as well, but they are all rigorously cleaned and kept in immaculate condition. You can expect to find hundreds of these titles, in different mediums, and they are all hand-detailed, both inside and out.

I also had an amazing experience with the staff. Everyone here is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and always there to help you or talk to you when you need them. If you need help finding a specific software title, or have a question about literally anything they sell, you can expect to receive courteous and personable service every time. Ryan and Lee are absolutely amazing people to interact with in every way.

So while some may indeed find it convenient to buy their games from the comfort of their couch, I highly recommend you swing by and check these guys out, as there is still such an art to game stores, and that art is beautifully mastered at Fire and Ice. If you at least have a remote interest in scratching graphically nostalgic itches from days gone by, trust me, pay a visit here. You will not be...
