One of if not the best video game store I've ever been to. The owner is very nice and works with the customer. The layout is very functional for the customer to shop around. All the products are clean and wrapped like new. Very organized and full of gems. As a video game collector and reseller it's hard to impress me as most video game stores generally have the same stuff. But Software Seconds is full extremely interesting items. With that said Software Seconds has been in business for over 25 years so he's built an abundance of kiosk machines, and great signage.

I've gotten a gcn set, old gcn+wii games I grew up with and lost with time, a pokemon yellow with new battery, pokemon gameboys of two generations, gba games. My bf has even gotten plenty of parts to accommodate for our old consoles/ newer TV models, which work well with the gcn sold here. The wii are personalized with skins, and there's awesome accessories for...
Read moreSoftware Seconds is the best retro gaming dedicated shop in Columbia, SC if not the southeastern U.S. at large! The owner is immensely personable, fair, backs his products to the hilt, and has an absolutely incredible shop. He has stuff in his shop that made me drool as a kid born in '77, and frankly still makes me smile today. Please support this amazing local business. We have purchased Wii games and accessories, a PS2 and a ton of games, and I've plans for a Sega Game Gear and other systems in the future. He also has a top of the line disc resurfacer if you find yourself in need of having a disc corrected....
