Absolutely a fantastic store, literally the best I've been to in regards to TCGs as well as gaming! They care for each and everyone of their customers and employees, and speaking of the employees each and every one of them are knowledgeable on various gaming and tcg information and are very kind and accommodating! The owner Marvel ensures prices are fair and in most cases are just straight up msrp which is hard to come by with tcg stores nowadays and can't thank them enough and makes me want to come by for each and every locals! Now speaking on the gaming side of the store my favorite series i

I don’t usually leave reviews but I’ve been going to this game store a long time now, so it’s over due! I love the variety of products they have, between games, trading cards, consoles and much much more! They offer fair prices for both buying and selling - I just the last of my games and my SP and got a decent chunk of change. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and I appreciate them taking the time to help me out. I swear if I had all the money in the world I would sink it into this business :P

Walking through the front door of the Experience Share is incredibly cool. Retro games line the shelves, there's a big rack of Pokémon plush, a couple of arcade cabinets, and the staff give you a friendly greeting. It's such a cool addition to Alameda and it would be a shame to not visit for any of their retro games/hardware, or to grab some trading cards from their impressive selection. The owner is also a fantastic individual- he has a ton of passion for the store. Highly recommend stopping in.

I hade faith in this place. I was referred by them through GameStop. I gave him a Go If anything they’re more Shystie then GameStop gave him a big bundle compared to GameStop. GameStop doubled what they offered me. Look around times 3 before you settle. I understand it’s a business and bills need to be paid to make a profit. you’re better off making an eBay account taking your time to get what you pay for times 10

A lovely local gameshop. I've been here multiple times and bought a couple NES games. Had a nice chat with the cashier who felt like they definitely knew what they were talking about. They also have nice store branded merch and plushies! I always stop by when I'm in the area.

If you’re around the area and looking for a great place to look at both retro and modern gaming, look no further! Always a great experience coming in and browsing all the new selection and just taking in on the nostalgia. They’re great on selling and trading in your video games as well. There’s a couch and plenty of standing free play kiosk to help pass time (no quarters required!) Highly recommend this retro video game store!

This gives me local GameStop but so much better vibes. The people here are very friendly and quite helpful with information. You can tell that the people that work there have a wide variety of passions and interests relating to video games and collectibles of all genre types. If you are looking for a nostalgia trip this is the place. There are also lots of new titles from recent releases as well. It has a really great variety of used games. If you ever had an old console that you want to buy games for this place is worth checking out. If you like collecting Pokémon plush, also a great place

Great to see more retro game stores, especially in the East Bay! This store has a healthy collection of retro titles from Game Gear, Saturn and of course Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo. There's a good split of domestic and international versions of games. They also expanded the store, so there's a lot more room for everything, including a bigger plushie wall and a much larger selection of modern games. They have a few cabinets for folks to play with, too. The staff are all very chill and they'll do their best to find you what you want rain or shine. Probably the best customer service in any game st
