The Game Station — Local services in Old Forge

I guess it's ok if you live down the block and have no other options, For the rest of people who drive and go to other game stores, Avoid this one. Let me start by saying I'm a buyer, seller and collector of games/toys. I have been up and down the east coast on my journeys and not once have I had a store not honor the price on a game, Until I came here. First impressions- my daughter who is 7 and I came into the store, she needed to use the bathroom soon as we entered ( like kids do) and I asked if they had a public restroom, I was told they did not and explained it was for my kid ( she's not going to rob you dude) I was told to go down the block to McDonald's... We did exactly that and still giving them a chance I decided to come back, 2nd impression- the games and consoles right off the bat are noticably $10-20 dollars above retail asking price, I continued on looking for anything I may want at a decent price and finally stumbled upon animaniacs for the Sega genius, at $9.99 I felt comfortable purchasing it for I have been picking up alike games loose for $5. The last straw- I came to the counter to check out, had some friendly conversation with the owners and then heard the man say what's the price on that one anyways ( I'm confused because its on it) his wife says " isn't it the price on the back" in which he says " it better not be" I said " it is $9.99" to no response... The man runs to the back comes back out and says ah ok " $14.99" I responded telling him the price says $9.99 in which he says " oh that's the price on the back" you mean the labeled price in which you clearly marked it? What does that mean? Is that inside talk? I don't follow... I said at that price I'll pass in which he instantly responded with " yeah I could have charged $21.00" if you're reading this you could have also charged the labeled price at $9.99 as well but you didn't. I said yeah no it says $9.99 and retrieved my daughter to leave. Conclusion - don't go here, there are way better options for game stores out there that are honorable, this is literally a fly by night mom and pop shop clearly out of touch with the gaming market. The irony is the dudes license plate says Game man 😂 clearly not. Avoid avoid avoid. *Edit I chose this game because of the price tag of $9.99, when I picked it up I actually checked all around for the price to find the sticker on it exactly as you saw it... If you're assuming in some way shape or form foul play on my end that sir would be fighting words, I don't partake in dishonesty such as that... That price tag was always on that game, whether it's a old one or not... Simply remove it. I feel cheated, I've picked up a couple of loose games locally for $5.00 and when I saw your prices I was perplexed to find anything in my price range so when I came across this game for $9.99 I felt comfortable making a purchase... The Whole reason I picked that one up in the first place, it could have been any game at that price over there... You're pointing fingers in the wrong direction, and I think you're a bit full of yourself. It's a shame because I was only buying because I just really wanted to pick something up that day, instead I left empty handed due to what I felt to be bad business practices. Also, to say " I could have sold it for $21" good for you? That's fairly defensive toward someone rejecting a purchase due to it being marked 5 dollars more than what they thought they was paying given the sticker on it REGARDLESS of where you think it should or should not be placed. Anyways I stick to my guns, On my end I I will reiterate, that sticker was ALWAYS on there from the point of time I picked it up and took it tocounter... Regardless of what this guy says. Avoid take your...

Hands down the best videogame shopping experience you can get nowadays and get this...!!!...!. It's and actually store!!! With walls and inventory and the coolest staff(mainly the owners themselves), who are willing to go above and beyond for their customers to make sure that they can get their retro gaming fix in these trying times. For example I search high and low for super goals and ghosts for SNES for years and years. I went in there one day and was like yeah I figure you wouldn't have it but if you come across it would you mind letting me know and I'll leave my number here. They said oh yeah for sure. 2 hours later I get a call saying get up here we got it for you! I could not have been more thrilled. The couple who are the owners are also old school gamers themselves and I am fairly certain that video games was obviously their passion while growing up and meeting and living and loving each other over the years. Video games aren't just nonsense brainwrought, it can also be something that can bring families together and expand living room horizons beyond the evil imagination of most disbelievers. So thank you GameStation!!! You love you so much in this town and you bring very much joy too many different age groups of many different people. Domo arigato Mr, Roboto, and his lovely partner. Be sure to talk to them and let them know how wonderful of an inventory they have and how great other...

Very informative and knowledgeable on video game consoles and their history. Recently purchased a Dreamcast and was given very helpful and informative service as well as a bit of history on the console. They threw in a few extra things for me to start the console out with everything I need. I bought the hard to find Sonic Adventure 2 and I bought my boyfriend the Resident Evil Code: Veronica game. He loves it he has been playing it nonstop. Everything is running smoothly and in great condition. The game selection is huge, there are many games here as well as consoles. The console selection is iconic, there are many hard to find classic systems here AS WELL as the games for them. We also picked up the classic NES Zelda game as well as the second title at an amazing price. Everything is priced very generously, and the selection of everything will make you deffinately want to go back and get more...
