Vermont Gaming Academy — Local services in South Burlington

I’ve been coming to VGA since they opened and had VR experiences. Best place in the burlington area (yeah, even though its south burlington) to find vintage games and videogame consoles; I bought a few ds’s to finish my collection and a gameboy or two. They’ve come a long way since they’ve first opened and they’re more focused on table top gaming these days which is awesome! They have pokemon tcg on thursdays. Owner, Jamie and crew have moved and expanded a couple times and took the vr and gaming “cafe” out which I do personally miss hence the 4 stars.. but aside from that the staff is super friendly and awesome for all ages which is incredible. I sold most of my old-set pokemon cards there years ago to the then mean-head-Michael. I do inevitably regret selling my childhood cards but the gang has been helping rebuild my collection! In short, VGA is awesome and if you have kids bring them; 100% something for everyone is there. Don’t sell your cards in bulk ever, thats the best piece of wisdom and advice I would give tcg collectors. Michael has since been fired and works at some other tcg store. On a more positive note, I want to give a massive shout out to Will for all the used DS games he sells, a truly wonderful man. Will has helped me so much with my collection and getting the games I need to fill it. Long live...

Went here for the first time today and had an incredibly awesome experience. They cater to a lot of gaming interests, from LAN PC gaming, to VR, and most importantly TCGs. I am very new to playing MTG, and went there to pick up some singles for my commander deck. First of all, they have a solid collection. When I was there they offered fantastic deals on the cards. Second, they were looking for more people to do a draft, and ended up giving me an awesome deal if I joined in. I basically bought the singles I wanted and got to do the draft for free!! This was my first time ever drafting so I was a little hesitant, but everybody there was helpful and encouraging. It was a blast. Both Mike and Jamie are super friendly and I had a great time playing with them. I highly recommend coming here, for veterans and new comers alike. Great atmosphere, and seriously, the deals they gave me were so...

Great experience with used games that had playability issues. Father of 2 young kiddos (8 and 10). We go to get magic decks, single cards and used PS3 games

2 used games did not have full playability ( both started and got to main menus - froze upon gameplay: Tony hawk or skater and dynasty warriors - so OLDER discs). 15$ for the two and upon calling them to report the issues they handled it in a professional manner. Stated they have options if I’m able to bring back - they buffed, and tested and encountered the same issue. I was able to swap out the 2 having issues with other used titles. SSX baby!

Returning the games was a baseline expectation and the team members handled the issue with poise and a smile. I felt like I had just made a 200$ transaction that they were rectifying. ...
