The employees were very friendly and extremely helpful with answering my questions regarding the games that were available for purchase. I will definitely be coming back in the future for any more retro and old-school video game needs.

Awesome place and workers. They have a great selection of vintage and modern for great prices.read more

Review Visit: December 22nd, 2013…read more Adventures here tend to be on the more nerdy side. Heroic Adventures, just like Slackers, is a frequent stop for my friends and I when we are visiting friends in Edwardsville. Just like Slackers, the price of things here tends to be on the 'higher' side of things. But with higher prices come a lot of cool things... They have board games, card games, collectible/trading card games, comics, graphic novels, figures, and the list goes on and on. Almost anyone who has the smallest sliver of geekiness in them will find something here they want to buy. One of my friends always drools over they figure section. I always browse the board games, DBZ stuff and Magic: the Gathering sections. We typically spend 30 minutes looking around before we finally leave and one of us bought something. It is a great companion store to Slackers.. Whereas Slackers is heavy on games, this place is heavy on everything else.

I've been shopping at this store for going on 2 decades, and it's truly the happiest place I've…read morefound outside of family and friends. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly and I love building a comic, manga and book library for my grandson to create memories and leave them behind with him once I'm gone.

The selection of games- especially older games- are great. Massive nostalgia looking at old Atari…read moregames, PS2 games, and everything else. A few gripes. The people working were talking really grossly about women the entire time while I (a woman) stood in front of them. My husband even joked that I should ask questions to see how often they looked at him to answer as the man. The other major issue was the bathroom. It has a sign warning of the "wrong ways to use the bathroom" and that using their bathroom was a privilege, not a right. But the bathroom itself had blood drips down the walls and on the floor, followed by not having toilet paper. Even washing my hands I felt like I wasn't actually getting cleaner. I will say that I asked someone for recommendations and they very obviously googled things before realizing they didn't carry any of the games he named. He then tried googling a bunch of random titles to see if they fit my interests, which I can just do myself. Great concept, not so great experience.

I've been here many times and this place is fantastic for older consoles and games. The guys are…read moresuper nice and cleaned my n64 'jungle green' for me when the reset button got stuck. The gentleman was professional and quick and resolved my issue. They also have popular RPG games, like Magic & Warhammer, etc if you're into that. I'll keep returning for the vintage games (& possibly some newer) that's for sure.

Been around for awhile now. Maybe a year. They buy and sell Magic Cards, video games, and DVDs…read more They also sell RPG systems, dice, figurines, as well as board games such as Settlers of Catan and others. The business is kinda small, but hopefully they can make more room to accomadate the growing number of people coming up for Friday Night Magic as well as their other gaming tournaments. Supposedly, soon they will also start to get in comic books into the store. Hopefully, a good selection as well as graphic novels. The two owners are for the most part pretty easy to speak with. They are very into Magic the Gathering themselves and have pretty decent knowledge of a lot of what people want. Sometimes, they get pretty busy with all the people trying to buy things and you have to wait awhile, but nothing too long. A decent business with a bright future as long as the owners are smart and grow slowly and continue to get along with their patrons.

They have a fantastic selection of family games, card games, wooden puzzle games, and etc. etc. etc. This tiny little hole in the wall (I know the owner John is looking at getting a larger place) truly is a fantastic stop. For those of you who are not that interested in playing Magic, or Yu-Gi-Oh, no worries. Stop in anyway and don't let the external trappings dissuade you. The owner, John, and his wife have chosen an excellent selection of games. You'll find games suitable for the very youngest kids, for instance 5, 6, and 7 years old, through to very challenging and intense games good for multiple day long gaming sessions. John is very knowledgeable about his games, and if you talk through what you like with him he will be sure to show you some new things you've never heard of before that you will enjoy. Very good selection of Ticket to Ride modules, Dominion games, and many others. Also if you are a card gamer, he has several table set up for card duels. Very delightful place.
