These people are some of my favorite people now!
Anthony A.

This place is so rad. Tons of old school arcade games. My wife and I came here tonight and played some marvel vs capcom, mortal kombat, and afterburner. I miss playing these games. And the people who work here are really cool as well. They asked how everything was as we left and genuinely seemed to care. And best part, masks are optional. #mybodymychoice

I purchased a cord for my originally Xbox at a very fair price! Now our Xbox can hook up to our tv once more! Yay

Most amazing mom and pop video game shop in town! I highly recommend if you are a collector or just getting into gaming. Staff is always beyond helpful .

Terrible service, changing the prices when you checkout and just try to cover it up.

Just Awful, I've never been to a place that changes the marked price once you are ready to checkout. They doubled the price on all the games I was purchasing. Insane how they conduct business.

Original SF2 !

Pure nostalgia! Walking in here brings back memories. Came to get a PS1 for my sons and was surprise to see how many cool things I saw. From the original Street fighter II arcade machine to a sega dream cast console. The owner was working the counter and was extremely attentive even though his store was packed with 10 other people. This is what American small business is about! For older folks like me this is a must! Even my boys ages 13 & 14 liked this place.

Cool way to pass some time with the kids. It really wasn't that expensive for about an hour of entertainment.

Are the video games over priced?

As of 2024? yes they're overpriced. They get pricing from eBay rather from the actual price tag marked on their items because the last time they went through their own inventory it was cheap. They rather have you the customer go through their… Read more

This location being in the mall and given how Gamestop runs things now, I'm not surprised it…read moreclosed. The store itself was cramped, but it had the usual that all Gamestop shops have. It's what the higher ups make employees do to try and force memberships rather than focusing on video games that makes me not care for Gamestop much anymore. Now that this location is closed, I can tell my experience without risk of them being fired. When I purchased a figure from there many years ago, the employee went on a long speech about membership. I declined and started to walk around the mall with my bag. I read the receipt and realized the most expensive item, the figure, hadn't been rung up. I don't like theft, regardless of if it's from a mom and pop shop or a chain. I don't know if that would have gotten him fired to let a $100 item go free, but I went back. Do better Gamestop. Membership sales shouldn't be the focus. No employee likes having to make a quota. My mom had to deal with that crap with Barnes & Noble.

Thanks to my husband, I've probably been to most of the GameStops in Ventura County. Surprisingly,…read moreI've never had an unpleasant experience at any GameStop I've visited. This GameStop is on the second floor of the Ventura Mall. Unless he/she is swamped, the staff always greets people when they walk through the door. The staff always explains their membership and new products with patience and knowledge, and take the time to find cards or items you're looking for. Besides video games and consoles, there are plushies, T-shirts, Funko pops, and other miscellaneous items here. The store usually prices items high, but you can sometimes find good deals. Also, it's almost always busy when I come in here, so GameStop is still a happening place!

Small card shop, but huge inventory of cards and products!…read more My gf bought me some prizm basketball, and prismatic packs from this shop, and she pulled a Wemby /75 and eevee master ball! We didn't have any penny sleeves or toploaders so I needed to come back. The owner was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The prices for everything was also very competitive and reasonably priced. They also do grading services which I can't wait to bring my cards in to get graded! Overall the experience was great and I can't wait to come back here!

Went there a couple weeks ago to pick up a 2023-24 nba…read more blaster box for a kids birthday party expecting to spend $25 like they normally are at Best Buy when I pick them up. Best Buy was out of stock so I went here thinking I would end up maybe paying 30, but I didn't have time to check walmart and this place was close by where I was going. The blaster of basic 2023-24 was FIFTY BUCKS HERE! I paid up because I didn't want to leave empty handed, but just to give you an example, the same box I picked up later that week at Walmart for my kids and it was 25 -- point is that this was not even an in demand or rare product but I got scalped paying double here... WHY?!? I don't get how places stay in business charging this much, maybe there is some volume discount I'm not aware of? Anyway they had a good selection and are nice people working there so I'll give em 3 stars for that, but as far as the prices, NEVER AGAIN!

I am so happy to repost this review with a 5 star review. Years ago I tried to patron the Calico…read morewith my children and the cashier was anti-child. I recently visited Ventura and stepped into the Calico and started chatting with the owner. I told them about my experience and they knew who I was talking about and said that she had been let go years ago and they work most of the time now. so Yay!! Their collection is large, obscur, and some fun rare finds. It's a great space, kids are welcomed again, and he even has a cool kids collection.

I love all bookstores, no matter what, all of them…read more This one was slightly harder to love. First the positive: it has a great name. But alas, no cats. Second, I did find about four or five books here (used) that I have not been able to find elsewhere, so that is a big positive. The organization of the books here leaves something to be desired. Some of the books are in alphabetical order. But many are not. That is a bit maddening. There is also no obvious organization of the books by subject matter. But it is a small shop so it is not that difficult to snoop around. If you are looking for the latest pop novels, this probably won't be your happy place. But if you are looking for classics or hard to find books, this just could be your happy place. If you are willing to overlook the somewhat chaotic organization of the books, you could spend some time here and find some real nuggets. The prices seemed fair to me.
