Cartridge Gaming is a hidden gem in Lima, located next to Rapid Fire Pizza. It is a favorite go-to game store with a great selection of retro gaming and older but good systems, complete with a lot of the games to go with them. The store has an awesome variety of stuff, including old games and toys, and incredible deals for Magic: The Gathering. It is a great place for getting started collecting or for finding more cards. The people that run the place provide great customer service. The staff is super friendly, very helpful, and will stop and chat. They are great with negotiating prices and saving items for customers if asked. Multiple customers have had consoles fixed and cleaned there with great results. The prices are very fair and reasonable, with owners sometimes throwing in freebies. Families enjoy stopping by, with many noting they could get lost for hours playing pinball on the 20+ machines. With around $10 and decent skills, you can get a solid hour of play time. It is the kind of store that needs to stick around, and many customers choose it over other chain stores, driving from out of town to return again and again.
Such a cool store. Got a few neat games, including a grail my friend with me had been in the hunt for. The guy even went through the trouble of getting me a nicer case for the copy of Drakengard 2, and hooked me up with one of my games for free for getting multiple items. 10/10.

Been going here for about 4 years, Usually stop in once a month to see what they have in the N64 case. Best prices on vintage consoles, games and accessories.
Would highly recommend
