1UP Games — Local services in Yakima

My friend and I drove around the city twice waiting for the shop to open as we were excited to see what kind of things they had there. Once the stores actually open and we were able to go inside they seem to have a fairly good selection of old school game and game equipment. The shop owner after they got off the phone and stop talking to each other decided to ask me what we need to know if I could help with anything. I told them that we were looking for are USB to old school game controller connector. The owner seemed shocked and taken aback that we would say something about emulation and he said that we don't support emulation here in our store is it would take away from what we're trying to sell. As I can respect that notion of this I can say that being a former business owner and a frequent customer of used game stores this is not the way you talk to a customer. He then went to lecture me about how if I went to a Humvee dealership I wouldn't ask for a Prius. It seems as though they have a fairly decent selection of old games but I was so put off by the condescending attitude of the people working there that I couldn't leave fast enough and I guarantee I will never be back nor will I refer my friends. And to the people that were working there at this time fyi I I worked for a car dealership and if someone came in asking for a Prius and a Humvee dealership we would find them a Prius. As a business owner your job is to sell customers what they want to try and convince customers that...

I started off pretty happy to have a retro gaming store, but as time went on I realized that it's basically Internet prices. Sure, you can have the product in your hands instantaneously compared to online, but that would mean you'd have to interact with the shop owner and his employee (who's always blocking the NES aisle). Which brings me to my next point: god forbid you're there to listen in on any conversations/debates on anything at all, because they're usually all one sided and condescending and if you have a different opinion or outlook on things, you'll get to see how douche bag-like things can get. We get enough of that on the Internet and it sucks to be in that environment locally. I'm done going there and recommending the place. He has a decent selection, but the Internet has an infinite one. He has, mostly, equal prices to the Internet and at times way more expensive (and good luck trying to reason with him). On some things, he may have knocked prices down a couple bucks, but that's irrelevant if you shop around on the Web and take advantage of deals on the products themselves and...

Have been going here off and on for years now, definitely my favorite store to browse once in awhile. Prices are slightly above online on most occasions but you pay for the service, the instantaneous product, and the quality of the game. No games ever seem to have more than the smallest scratches.

They always have a new rotating stock of games, and usually seem to keep from too many of the common clutter games off the shelves. Every game I've ever purchased from here has worked flawlessly and I haven't had to resurface anything personally to get it working.

If I could critique anything it would be to get a better label maker for your price tags (as they are honestly incredibly annoying and the gunk gets stuck on almost everything I buy until I...
