If you’re a retro gaming enthusiast, Warp Zone is nothing short of a paradise. I stumbled upon this gem through Reddit after failing to find it on Google, and let me tell you, this place is worth every bit of hype.
From the moment you step inside, it feels like a time machine straight out of the ’80s. The store is immaculate, beautifully curated, and packed with everything a retro gamer could dream of—games and consoles for practically every system you can imagine.
What truly sets Warp Zone apart is their pricing and selection. For example, I snagged an almost mint-condition SNES for just $79.99. To put that into perspective, that’s significantly cheaper than places like The Exchange, where similar systems are often $140–$150, or even eBay. And it’s not just SNES systems—their entire inventory of retro consoles is priced incredibly fairly, making it accessible for both collectors and casual gamers.
The staff at Warp Zone are another highlight. They are not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, ready to answer any question or help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Their passion for retro gaming shines through, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the experience.
If you’re a gamer, collector, or just someone chasing a bit of nostalgia, Warp Zone is an absolute must-visit. This store doesn’t just sell games; it delivers an experience that no other gaming shop can match. Five stars aren’t enough to...
Read moreDon’t even know where to start with this place! It’s absolutely a must experience game store adventure. Like entering a green pipe in Super Mario, what is an unassuming garage on a residential street literally, warps you to a another world when you step through the green door.
They have a great selection and one thing is, they seem to have more unique games and gaming items than you would just find at a retail chain. Some real gems. Anything you can’t find, let the shopkeeper know and he’s always got his eye out for you no different than a shop keeper in a video game "Got some rare things on sale, stranger!". Fair pricing and also willing to negotiate. He gave me a great deal for a couple items I was enthusiastic about. He’s also always testing and trying things out the whole time you’re in there but also ready to help when you need it. A true gamer at heart and his energy reflects that.
We went out here for a day trip just to check it out and get some Jioio’s pizza (both first time visits). That package deal of an experience is worth a Sunday afternoon. Spend some money, support family and small business, it’s what makes the...
Read moreOne of my favorite places to visit. The team here are true collectors and know what they're talking about, which is a breath of fresh air in a market full of people solely buying and reselling games for profit.
They treat you incredibly well, often offering to clean cartridges and resurface discs at purchase, and even resurface discs you bring in if you ask.
Prices are incredibly fair and honestly quite low compared to what you'll find on sites like eBay and other brick and mortar game stores.
If I ever have any kind of retro gaming thing that I'm thinking of adding to my collection, I go here before looking anywhere else, and I rarely have to do that. If you're a game collector, or just have a passing interest in retro games, this...
