This place is amazing! When you first walk in the store it might not seem like anything special, but once you browse through the first case you realise that Xtreme Games is basically a shrine to classic video gaming.
They have it all... Loads of GameBoys, Sega Genesis, Master System, NES and an incredible amount of vintage games all lined up like an art gallery. Just looking at all the NES cartridges from 1988 brought me back to my childhood. And if you go that extra leap and buy the games you can surely find the corresponding console if you don't own it anymore.
To be honest every time I go in here I don't even find out how much the prices are for the classic games. But I think it's reasonable and could be in the 5-10 dollar range for popular titles.
I was talking to the owner the other day and he said they carry the new stuff like PlayStation 3 and X-Box just because it sells. But the main dream is the retro titles. I told him how much I loved the store and he game me my purchase tax free!
So do check this place out if you like old games. I've not had the chance to really delve deep into this place, but I think it's safe to say they have everything you could want, from Sega Nomad to Coleco. -

Great selection, Terrible prices. This place has a large selection of mostly common retro games, however the prices are so bad it feels like the owner is playing a joke on people and laughs every time some poor sucker buys something there.
To give you an example, Tetris for Gameboy, cartridge only is priced at $29.99. This is a super common game, $5 tops for a cart only copy. I don't know if the owners are just out of touch with reality, or whether they make it a point to rip off people who don't know any better. Either way, avoid this place. Stick to buying your retro games on eBay, forums and maybe Craigslist.
