He wore a Clive Barker's "Nightbreed" shirt and I showed him my custom wallet of the movie. Then, I explored the video store side before I ventured into the arcade. I thought I was there for one pinball machine only and that was my favorite, "Monster Bash". With a handful of quarters, I did my best to obtain 1 million points. After reaching my goal--I played several other pinball machines including: Metallica, Super Mario, Street Fighter, The Addams Family, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and South Park. One machine took my quarters by accident and I notified their employee, Elijah a.k.a. Little Elijah. He reimbursed me for the quarters without question. The hospitality at Game Cycle was top notch that Little Elijah gave me a bottled of water for the road. I also walked away with an action figure of Dr. Decker from "Nightbreed" and the NES version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", after sharing stories with Randy. If you're in Springfield, make sure you stop by Game Cycle. You'll be glad you did.

Playing TTRPGs in the large game rooms can be difficult because the sound carries WAY TOO MUCH!…read moreDuring games, it can feel like you need super hearing just to follow what is happening at your own table. Some sound barriers, acoustic panels, or better room separation would make a huge difference. I also wish the store had a clearer focus. They seem to be trying to do a little bit of everything, but some areas feel underdeveloped. They are not really a strong destination for comics; the miniature painting supplies are limited, the other items need better category separation, and the TTRPG offerings could be stronger. Their Sunday D&D one-shots also sell out quickly, and they have in-store gaming waiting lists, which shows there is demand, but not enough space or availability. Pricing can also be on the high side for certain items compared to other options. The store is expanding, which could be a great opportunity. However, I hope the expansion improves the actual play experiences and gives more attention to TTRPG events, sound control, and product focus. More space alone will not solve the issue if the store continues trying to cover too many categories without doing any one of them especially well.

You can buy a soda from the fridge and play some vintage games right there in the store... nostalgia at its finest! The kicker... the affordability is unmatched from other stores I've visited. The prices are very fair, and you can also sell them your own movies, games and music! Great people, excellent variety and just an overall good feeling that a small business SHOULD give you! I will definitely be going back to this hidden gem!

They carry hardware and software for systems like NES, SNES, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, Neo-Geo, and more, with a focus on retro and Japanese imports. If you're looking for old games and consoles this is the place. They didn't have grips for new consoles or anything like that but I see its value. It smelled like an old school video arcade in there. Core memory unlocked.

He has a pretty great selection. He has a bunch of imports and a lot of different games from multiple systems. He had some bangers like popful mail and CIB Zelda N64. Everything is priced and put in a clear plastic bag. Stickers aren't placed on the game itself. Unlike some bigger stores, the prices are good. I rarely write reviews but I enjoyed my experience so much that I had to write one. 100% I will visit them again.

It's a hidden treasure chest for all gamers! If you can look past the ongoing clutter, dust, and random items thrown about, you're in for a treat. I consider myself to be a big vintage gamer. So, I like hunting for anything that is hard to find and that will bring a nostalgia from my childhood. When I was visiting Celina, I didn't know what to expect but just wanted to check this place out to see what they had. They had more than any other gaming store I've seen for SNES, NES; there were even Sega Genesis games strewn about. Controllers, memory cards, old consoles, games that you thought you'd never see again. Honestly, I will look here again for anything that I am searching for in the future. The owner was very helpful. Normally, I have to look online for old games and hope that they work by the time they reach me in the mail. But now, I will call this place first to see if they have a game in stock...even if it means traveling a couple of hours. Apart from video games, the store carries retro board games, toys, and DVDs/VHSes. So, if you're looking for that old holiday Barbie from 1992 that your parents never got you, chances are that it could be here. Or if you want to watch the entire "Friends" series on VHS, look no further.
