Pixel Palace Games

I literally LOVE this place. One of the last surviving game stores that have console, cards, tabletop, retro, and they TRADE in those categories as well. Best offer you'll receive is from these delightful gamers. Go here and you'll never go to Gankstop again!

I stopped in this store because I was in the area, and it popped up on Google Maps; I collect vintage games, particularly Sega. I was immediately greeted upon entering, asked where the Sega games were, and was appropriately directed. The sales associate kept attempting to engage me in conversation about games I was currently playing, what my favorite games were, and I entertained him for a few until I stopped responding because I really just wanted to look at the games. The selection wasn’t horrible, which is to be expected for Sega, especially for the latter systems, but there was absolutely nothing of note.nnThe owner came out from the back area and literally proceeded to ask me the exact same questions as the previous associate. This is where things went south. I told him I was playing Fallout 76, and he then proceeded to argue with me about how everything after Fallout 3 was complete trash. Totally entitled to your opinion, but this person is attempting to buy something for you, you are telling them that their tastes are garbage. After that weird exchange, I mentioned that I was in for Sega. He told me what he had on the shelf was all he had (which is completely understandable, and the same at every vintage game store), but then told me that he really didn’t expect to ever be getting much else in because any game he gets that is valued over $20, he puts on his eBay site, and the store makes most of its money from cards.nnSo, I gave this place a 3 because due to the bizarre customer experience, and that the name of the store is completely misleading. Pixel Palace Games is a completely legit name for a vintage game store. This is not a vintage game store; it’s a card store. Perhaps consider changing the name to Paper Palace Games, or even Papyrus Palace Games to tailor to the fedora’d gentleman.

Always have a great selection of games for great prices. And AMAZING customer service!

Ordered some cards on ebay from this store, I did not recieve them turns out the owner never sent them. The employee named matthew called him. The owner ignored me every step of the way. Matthew is a saint and went above and beyond what he should have. The owner however IS A CROOK. MULTIPLE REVIEWS ON HIS EBAY STORE CONFIRM THIS. DO NOT SHOP HERE. I SAY AGAIN OWNER IS A LIAR AND CONPLETE CROOK!!!!

Lots of retro video games and table top games the guy working which i think is the owner was very pleasant to chat with. Highly recommend.
