I visit this place maybe once or twice a year as I don’t live in the areas, however it’s definitely worth the stop every time!!! If you are looking for retro games they have the goods! This last trip I brought home; two Nintendo Powers issues, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 CIB, Sonic and Knuckles, Ninja Gaidan, Killer Instinct, Ghostbusters, and Double Dragon 2. There were MANY MANY MORE that I would have love to take home, but I’m mount made of money! The prices aren’t bad and they do have quite a selection!!
Really enjoyed my experience here. Everyone working there was friendly and welcoming, and the vibe of the store was honestly better than I expected. I haven’t played video games in years, so I was a little lost coming back into it, but the staff was great about answering all my questions and helping me figure things out without making me feel out of place. You can tell they really care about their customers. Definitely a great local business, and I’ll be back
I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Press Start. The team is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, especially the dark handsome gentleman. He always helps me with anything I need.
Friendly staff. Great selection of items. I was even about to buy a card for the wrong set and they let me know rather than just pocket the profit. I really appreciate how helpful they were with finding the right cards!
Trip down memory lane and nostalgia maxxing for sure. Great employees that are easy to talk to and a ever growing inventory, Press Start is my go to for retro games and Pokemon. Very cool!
I love that they have Pokémon cards for a very cheap price depending on the selection you get and if you don’t know, you can get Pokémon cards for 50 Cent and buy as many as you want
The staff was so knowledgeable and the were the absolute best! They helped all of my needs and were just the coolest guys! I will be driving from Pa at least once a month after buying the best looking silent hill origins! You guys are the absolute best! Don't listen to the FEW negative reviews! Keep killing it!
