Blast from the Past

Hours: Blast from the Past is a great retro game store, widely considered the best by many visitors. It is a great place to find classics and ‘hard to find’ games, offering an amazing and ever-changing selection for any system. The collection includes top tier and even rare games that are hard to find even online, with some items still factory sealed, making it the best non-online selection for pre-2000s games. The owner is always accommodating, friendly, very knowledgeable, and good to talk to. He is willing to buy vintage games and consoles at a much better price than competitors and is helpful with questions about pricing and stock. The store provides a chill nostalgia trip and is a super cool place to go with so much to look at. A common note is that the lighting inside is a bit too dark, which some mention makes it hard to appreciate the fantastic selection, though it is suggested this is to prevent long-term light damage to the plastics. It is described as a little gem, a thrift store for nerds, and not a posh new store. Visitors highly recommend going here before anywhere else when looking to add to a collection, noting it is an excellent experience for old nerdy gamers.
