Player 1 Video Games is a retro games store considered the best in the entire Houston area. It is described as an absolute gem and a gamer paradise, offering a great variety of games for all kinds of consoles. The store functions like a wonderful time capsule and a blast from the past, filled with cool items and some of the finest retro tech. The inventory is genuine and works, with all items clearly labeled. The store maintains a real revolving inventory with new stuff coming in all the time, unlike other shops.
The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions. They provide services like buffing out scratched discs. While some note the prices can be a bit pricier than others, customers feel this is because it is a real retro game shop with real employees, not a junk warehouse. The prices are considered reasonable for the games they have. The owner is known for a wonderful level of sarcasm in responses. Overall, it is a fine gaming establishment where customers never leave empty handed and would absolutely recommend it.

This shop had plentiful choices of the older game consoles and remotes available. There were probably nearly all the first gaming system boxes and a good number of popular video games on display which was very amusing to browse.
