I am a long time shopper of start over games and I just wanted to say how much i appreciate this store. I currently live in fond du lac, but I travel to Oshkosh as my first choice as over the two years I’ve lived in fond du lac I’ve been greeted by the owner Rob and CeCe and they are willing to help me with any issues I have or answer any questions on older retro hardware.
I think they are a tremendous resource to the community and I ask that you please consider supporting them any way you can. The reason I say this is because I’ve had several snes and Genesis games where the battery has burst and they were able To fix it for a reasonable rate, while every other game store in the area told me I’m out of luck and the games are toast.
They’ve not only helped my get my old cartridge systems working again, but they’ve been a big help in me Acquiring new games and cleaning the games I have for Complicated repairs like sodering and battery replacement
I lost all my belongings when my uhaul was stolen including my game collection, and this store has helped me reacquire what I lost piece by piece.
Finally I wanted to share with you this amazing Super Nintendo recasting and makes my old Copy of chrono trigger really pop with the added lights! Everything works perfectly, cleaned from top to bottom and runs so smooth I am Ecstatic
I mean this sincerely, thank you guys for what you do, you helped Me save these old games and allow me to share them With...

The prices are competitive to what you'd find for the various platforms that are found in the surrounding area at other vendors. It appears they almost every conceivable platform sold in the US market at one decade or another in their store. Yesterday, my 11 y/o son and I went in there, as he wanted to use his money to buy a Wii U. They were more than willing to converse with him, and they were so patient with him counting out his money. These two dudes made my kid feel just like a regular customer, not some clumsy little kid. As a dad, watching this interaction, that was so damn cool of them. If you're looking for something for an older, newer, rare or common system, this is definitely the place to go. I hope that Start Over Games stays here in our great City of Oshkosh for a...
Read moreI was on my way back to Illinois from northern Wisconsin, and started wondering if there were any great video game stores along the way. I did a quick google search and this shop popped up first. It was only a half mile away from where I was parked, so I decided to swing by. I'm very happy that I did! Tucked away inside an antique mall is a pretty impressive little collection of rare and retro games and systems that are hard to come by in person. When I discovered a legit copy of Earthbound (props for opening up the games on your site for proof), it was meant to be. Now I don't have to keep kicking myself for leaving my old copy at a friend's house all...
