    Employees are kind and store is organized. A lot of Pop-It's were on the floor in the back, which makes it difficult to browse through if you have lower back issues or neck pain. I saw two special edition Britney Spears Pop-It - one was priced $24.99 and the other $17.99 but they were identical. I ended up purchasing the $17.99 one of course. Unsure why the differences in price. The pricing is different as well compared to other stores. I noticed a Pika-Chu Pop-it I purchased for $4.99 at the Folsom location being sold for $7.99 here.

    Not sure why so many bad review because this place is awesome! Went in today while in Sac and was blown away with the inventory. They have literally anything and everything cool or collectible. Sports, Clothes, Music, Video Games, Toys, Shoes, etc etc etc. The prices were super reasonable on most items we looked it. Hats were like $4.99 and half of them were brand new. Video game systems were extremely reasonable along with games. The decorations and mass amount of stuff in the store is shocking. It's shocking when you first walk in because the store is literally packed. Finally the staff were super chill and helpful. We will definitely be back to The Cave.

    My text

    I call bullshit ! I went to trade in a few items with my 9 year old grandson. To our surprise , I got a text saying we had $271 store credit ! When we got to the store they were having trouble locating our trade in , so I was having my grandson select some items he had been hoping to get . When we get to the counter , I'm informed they made a "mistake" and we only had $10 in credit , they had the wrong items listed for our trade ins . I understand mistakes happen , but I asked if they could at least comp a $20 item for the huge disappointment my grandson faced . No , wouldn't do it . Not the customer service I would expect when it comes to just being decent people . Do your job right in the first place in stead of a "bait and switch". Very dissatisfied with the whole way this was handled

    My kids and I are literally obsessed with the Cave. Vintage tshirts & vinyl. You'll need time to thumb through it all, but totally worth it.

    1-Up Retro Video Games…read more My girl and I randomly stumbled across this place while we were just walking around, and as soon as I saw the sign, I told myself, I have to go in here! I grew up playing video games, and I still play here and there, so I already knew this place was going to be pure nostalgia for me and it definitely was. I was a kid in a candy story and totally geeking out! Walking around the store brought back so many childhood memories. They had games I honestly haven't seen in over 30 years, along with all kinds of consoles and games from different generations. Some of these games I probably would never play again, but just seeing them on the shelves took me back. It was cool seeing the old-school Nintendo video game magazines. Some of those magazines have to be close to 30 years old! The entire store was basically one big nostalgia trip. I didn't end up buying anything, but I still enjoyed just walking around and checking everything out. If you grew up gaming or have played on different systems over the past 40 years, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

    Among all the amazing small businesses in Sacramento, 1-Up Retro is probably the one nearest and…read moredearest to me and my son's heart. I grew up in the golden era of gaming, the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s when weekends meant blowing into dusty cartridges, late-night multiplayer battles, and flipping through Game Informer magazines dreaming about the next big release. Those games weren't just entertainment, they were core memories of my childhood. Now, seeing my son discover and fall in love with those same games and magazines has been something really special. Ever since we moved to Sacramento a few years ago, every visit to 1-Up has felt like stepping into a real-life time machine. The moment you walk in, you're surrounded by nostalgia, memories, and pure joy. Whether it's seeing shelves packed with retro classics or spotting consoles you haven't touched in 20+ years, it instantly takes you back. The owner and staff are all incredibly cool, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about gaming history. I'm always blown away by the little-known facts and stories they know about these old-school titles. You can tell this isn't just a business to them, it's something they truly love. Special shoutout to Travis for the amazing customer service and for hooking my son up with a PS2 Slim in fantastic working condition. Seriously, where else can you walk in today and find a retro console like that, fully functional, along with a huge selection of games ready to relive those memories? I would love nothing more than to see businesses like 1-Up continue to succeed and thrive in the face of online competition. Places like this keep the memories, community, and fun alive for old gamers and new generations alike. Sacramento is lucky to have them. Game over? Not here at 1-Up, the memories just keep hitting "Continue."
