Duck Duck Games is a true gem (er, coin…ring…rupee?) for any retro gaming enthusiast! I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this store a few times, and each visit is the highlight of my day. Most recently, I picked up a Super Nintendo, some accessories for my old NES, and a handful of games from the past that instantly transported me back to memories of my childhood.
The prices throughout the store are better than I expected. The owner, Ethan, is kind, highly knowledgeable and overall a pleasure to talk with. Their policies and trade-in values are generous, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The selection spans everything from Atari classics up to modern Switch games, including some rare and unique items that I never knew even existed. Walking through the store feels like stepping into a retro gaming museum, but one where you can buy your favorites to bring home with you.
One of the things I love most is that their inventory is always changing, so there's always something new to discover. I suggest following their Instagram where they regularly post updates on new stock, so you're always in the loop. If you’re looking for something specific, they can add you to their inventory system and you’ll be notified when that copy Ocarina of Time becomes available.
Duck Duck Games fills a niche that I've been missing for years, and I can't express enough how glad I am that they exist. I feel truly spoiled to have a store like this so close to home because honestly, I'd be willing to travel much further than I do. This is the kind of small business that deserves all the success in the world, and I sincerely hope it's around for many years to come. If you're into retro gaming, do yourself a favor and visit...
Read moreI was looking for a place to trade in some of my old game consoles. This store was one of the top results and it was close to home. When i walked in I was greeted with extreme kindness and they made me feel welcomed right away. I brought in all of my systems and they took a look at everything while not only testing the systems to make sure it worked properly but they also commented on how well the peripherals were maintained and taken care of. They offered me a very reasonable in store credit or cash back. I asked if the credit ever expired and was told that it did not and it was just tied to my phone number. The store is fantastic in what it offers. From gaming accessories to new and old video games. The prices as well are very reasonable and keep me coming back as a future customer. The owner is a very passionate gamer and is super happy to answer any question in regards to anything you have. They sell both original and reproduction carts which are marked accordingly to allow gamers and collectors to play overpriced games at a reasonable and fair market value. I encourage gamers, and collectors to check this place out. Help a growing business and keep them supported. They also do offer video game system repair if needed and will work with you during the time to give you updates as to how it is going. 100 out of...
Read moreI was in the Cleveland / Akron area for work. I happened to do a quick google search on retro game stores in the area and Duck Duck Games came up. Definitely the best decision I made! This place is so clean, organized, staged perfectly for what you are looking for, and to top it off the owner Ethan is super welcoming and very knowledgeable. I went in looking for a couple of items and I walked out with a Analog Pocket which I LOVE! The prices in the store are awesome. Definitely ordering some items Online to have shipped to my home just because I see the attention to detail that they put into the stuff they sell. Best experience I have had up to date in any game store. You guys...
