Just to get your mind off everyday challenges and be a big kid at heart like we all are this place is amazing. The workers are so helpful. They have a games system from old to new. Then on the other side, there are pinball machines along with old video games. This is my new hang-out place when I need to relieve some stress. The game room is located across from the Micheal kors store in Southshore Mall. Come down and have some fun.

So, you stumbled upon here due to a recent N64 Tiktok, eh???…read more That is actually how I found out about Retro Island, and great timing too. Because I've been hankering to relive my childhood via Game Boy Advance. For a small store, it is absolutely stacked with collectibles: retro games, current games, import games, candy, cards. A dream. What's even nicer too is that all of their products are listed on their site, which makes perusing a breeze! Considering the state of the retro market, the prices are reasonable. Imo nothing is marked outlandishly high, and they do have deals and a clearance section in back! I came in looking for a backlit GBA and the staff was so incredibly patient and knowledgable. Especially Kimmy! She walked me through the process, showed me every color I chose and even provided much need opinions. She truly took her time making sure my mod was perfect and I walked out with the most gorgeous (and backlit) GBA! Considering its location and variety, I will definitely be back. This is an amazing location for retro gaming!

For the record we called NUMEROUS times and left our phone number. Again a simple "no" would've justified but to call special needs adults "entitled" is truly horrible... it's also ironic you can not review the miller place location on google as it's "flagged" for false positive reviews...

They also retrofit the older consoles so they hook up to modern televisions. The staff is very knowledgeable. So if you're looking for something specific, ask them! They know their product. Also check out their museum pieces. I saw a Game and Watch in their museum I was dying to get my hands on. They're not for sale but they are fun to see. I hope this new store strives and is around for years to come. It's nice to have a retro gaming store a few miles from my home. Time to add that Colecovision to my collection. ;)

They do buy items but I myself haven't sold anything to them. They have a generous two week policy to check the discs to make sure they work. I go between here and the city location often to see what's in stock. The employees are kind, welcoming, and knowledgable. I've often called to ask about stock questions and they're always quick to help. I do occasionally check the children's section because my dream is to have the old Sweet Valley books of my youth, but the YA section is I'd say from 2010 on. There's a large lot with plenty of parking.
