One employee attempted to pass off a repo copy of a game as legit to me, and then to top it all off, they refused to even honor their sticker price! I attempted to buy a copy of a game that had 3 different sticker prices. One for $8.49, another for $10.99 and lastly for $12.99. This is after I came in a month earlier and the game was at $4.99. I went all 3 to the register alongside a stack of other games I'm buying and explain the issue and the cashier refused to honor the price. Neither the lowest of middle, although their were quite a number of copies with the two lower prices. Apparently the price had gone up. 4 times in a month huh? I walked out, and did not purchase any of my other items either. Why ever support such a horrible small business that even give GameStop a run for its money of horrible customer service and pricing? This place really does out price everyone locally, GameStop and eBay! Con artist, who sell repo games and trash at extortion prices! Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! I'm including some photos here of some of the ridiculous prices! They say a picture speaks a thousand words right? $180 for a copy of Pokémon Emerald? What is Pokémon Top Secret version? You can't make this stuff up. Avoid this place and go anywhere else!

I walked into the mall with my nephew looking to go to target and we happened to walk past this place that I never knew existed before. Obviously my nephew shot right into the store seeing all the cool electronics and gadgets. As I followed him in and my eyes wandered here and there at all the vintage and classics of video games history and revolution, I gasped in awe of this amazing sight. This place had everything, from caleco to modern gaming. Standing in this place felt like a museum more that a store. Walking down the left side wall and seeing as you stroll by consoles from the 80s and 90s and onward left me envisioning myself as a toddler to pre-teen to young adult. What a feeling it was. It had a feel that gamestop never had not since its early days or its first fruits. I remember being a kid all the way back when funco land was around and how much joy those days were. Times were so different then.... Seeing my nephew run up and down the aisles with nothing but joy at everything around him left me seeing my childlike self and the youthful carefree days when being a kid was all the responsibilty I had to worry about........Days gone by......(moment of silence). In addition to the consoles they had the old gaming magazines like game informer and nintendo power. I rememver waiting every month in the mail for the new nintendo power arrive and bothering my mom to pay for the new subscription lol. I had a conversation with an employee here named Brandon who was awesome by the way. He was very knowledgeable about the products and it was really cool that he was interested in talking gaming glory days with me for the 3 to 4 minutes we spoke. The prices for the old consoles seemed to range from $100-$300 (depending on what your looking for. Im not really familiar with the prices these days so if your a vintage gamer I woulf definitely take a trip here and take a look. They also do trade in's which is awesome if you want to get rid of some old games collecting dust. All in all if your a gamer id definitley recommened checking this place out. If your a little older like i am looking to re-live your glory days locking yourself in your room for days eating a bag of potatoes trying to beat contra on the NES then come on down too.

The service from the workers are top notch and they're friendly which sets in a wonderful vibe of the place. Business transactions aside, the collection of games they have here are massive. You might be able to find what you're looking for in a matter of minutes. I just love independently owned game stores like this because they are their own community and doesn't feel cold and corporate like you'd normally feel in gamestop. Definitely worth it.

I have been coming to GameOn, since its first open location in Miller Place, and even before its…read morecurrent address. GameOn is owned and founded by Tristan Whitworth, who has been giving people of all ages the opportunity to relive their childhood experiences, and/or create new ones. All of the games sold here, are authentic, thoroughly tested, and reviewed so you can always count on the video games being in the best possible condition. GameOn also offers more than just games but consoles, accessories, controllers, and more. One of the recent times I went in; Tristan showed me that he received a whole bunch of promo posters from Nintendo that were unopened. I pointed out that the Banjo Kazooie poster he had, had a beta version of the character Mumbo. (Meaning the poster was worth more!!) It was awesome to see and the fact that he showed me it when I came in at a random day and time was incredible! The prices at GameOn are very fair, and trade ins are always WAY better than Gamestop who will give you pennies. GameOn gives you great rates and even greater if you vouch for in store credit. For those of you reading this looking to relive the past, or discover old but new-to-you classics, or even find consoles, accessories and more; this place is for you. One thing I was very grateful for, was that my cousin, his friend and myself produced a video game that mimics the retro style of older 2D platformers: I.E: (Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country, etc.) and Tristan allowed us to not only bring it in for him to try it, but allow his customers to try our game and test it. As if that wasn't enough, our game was free to download, with the option of donating and let's just say Tristan donated very generously! Speaking of generous, I also had an experience, where a few years back, I came in with a trade in, and a new employee gave me a pretty low deal which I accepted, but later went home feeling duped. I don't know how, as I didn't even tell Tristan, or write review, and he wasn't in the store that day, but he actually reached out to ME, and apologized that I was shorted, and that I could have an in store credit or the option to receive more money than I reluctantly agreed to. The in store credit was more than fair, and once again GameOn proved why I love it so much; and why I want to return in the future. I shouldn't have to say this; but an owner reaching out to a customer who was shorted, apologizing and giving them a store credit/offering them more money for the price they agreed to? That is unheard of and let me tell you I was blessed and very happy he reached out to me. Overall, what makes GameOn so great is its owner: Tristan. He is an energetic, passionate and kind person who always does right by you. Tristan has also hired some awesome and dedicated employees and they are always very knowledgeable and passionate about gaming like he is! GameOn does more than just sell games; they have hosted charity events, birthdays, gatherings and more. Something worth mentioning is that GameOn has grown from one location, to three, and now even has arcades open which I would urge you to check out! All in all, Tristan has created more than just a store for selling old games, but a living community that supports all who have an interest in gaming, and offers a selection of oldies but goodies, and everything in between. By far, the best retro gaming store on the island! GameOn!

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!

I appreciated the time they took to review our trade and explain the process.

Please be careful people. To the owner. He was not wearing a shirt from his store. He was behind your booth and everything I said is 100% factual. I want people to be safe in the card community. Shops with people like you damage our tcg community. And its funny, you said you knew the person but at the same time didn't know anyway to contact him, his name or anything else about him. You proudly has your table runner over both booths. Then basically shamed me in to taking down my original review because I was trying to "destroy a small business". No, you are. You are not only destroying a business, but a community I love. I will continue to make sure people know you are very untrustworthy and will not take ANY FAULT IN A SITUATION YOU HAVE CREATED. Again, I would never set foot in your store again. Especially with you being a trump supporter. Everything I stated is true. Even have friends who were there and saw it all. Especially the employees laughing at me. I want to make sure the people who actually love the tcg and pokemon community are safe! Copied from my google review. At a convention they apparently let some one use there booth to also sell stuff. The man at the booth told the price of an item was 30 dollars and when I said how cheap that was, the man started boasting about his prices. When I sent him the 30 he looked at me and said "Where's the rest?" I was confused and said he said it was 30 dollars and the guy laughed "Oh, you thought 30 dollars, no it's 30,000 dollars." Even my friend said to him he told me 30 dollars. He gave me my money back and I came home and wrote a 1 star review. Then one of the guys at his booth was just laughing at us. About a week later I got a Facebook message from some one who turned out to be the owner basically saying it wasn't him and it was some one he was letting use his banner. So I asked how you can see I would think it was your table and he basically told me no, he has zero responsibility to it and I'm just trying to destroy a small business and I should feel bad. So instead of this man trying to extend some kind of olive branch and figure out what happened, he basically just in guns blazing and saying I was just trying to destroy a small business. I was/still am going through a lot family stuff so I just placated him and said I would remove the review, basically because I didn't need anymore stress in my life. But I do want to post this and let people know he will go out his way to track you down on social media. Instead of trying to take responsibility, it was everyone else's fault. It's not me trying to destroy his business, it's him. If you came to me with out the attitude and took some blame for the mess up of some one vending at a table with your table runner on it, I'd go the extra mile and say how great you were. Instead I have avoided your booth like the plague and have not returned to you store. I visited twice and thought it was a nice little shop. I have friends who play there and say they only do so because they have no where else to go. He is also a trump supporter from his response on my google review, which made many people I showed it to said it would make them feel unsafe to enter his store. Be careful at their booths at conventions. If they scam you, its not there fault they let someone else vend from their table.
