Hey bud,what is that flute music is in the background?
After you posted this the prices went up, fantastic.
@@Hybrid_Prime medieval music- cobblestone village
@@jigokuNeko thank you kind sir! Love that music style.
Been shopping Gameroom for a year or so now never been let down at all I wish I could buy more from them 😊
Great recommendation, been trying to find a fair priced online store
Hey didn't expect you to be here lol.
Thanks dude I appreciate that 😊 let us know if you find anything good
try sidequestgamesstore too
Terroriser!!!!
You could also try out Lukie Games as well. I got a wii for 90 bucks that dropped price to 70. Works flawlessly 😍
Damn it is so cool that Gameroom is getting publicity. They have been based out of Nebraska for a few years, & there in-person stores are extremely huge
Nebraska props! I say the thumbnail and thought I'm pretty I was there the other day lol
One of their locations is in the same space that a store called Gamers occupied for many years.
WOOO NEBRASKA PRIDE BABY
Also a Nebraska local and I’ve been shopping at their physical locations for almost two decades now when they went under the Gamers name. Definitely recommend them
@@TonyLikeGames2 that's because gameroom used to be gamers almost all old locations are gamerooms
Much love from Gameroom Lincoln, appreciate the support for what we do.
This seems like a mom and pop retro shop. They have some good prices. I’d support them for sure
Use to be gamers where I am but the old gamers stores are now gameroom
I'm wondering if dkoldies "free shipping" is just actually included in the price of each item, hence the extra $ 😆 pretty slick. I've ordered from them a few times until they sent me a fake nes cartridge, which ironically I learned how to tell it was fake from their TikTok videos. It didn't have the 2 stamped numbers on the back lol
Wow!😂
That's pretty much how ALL "free shipping" works. Welcome to the world.
Did they take it back?
@@chikenbagdotcom9305 yeah what happened
Slick games 💀
As a native Nebraskan, I’m so thankful to have these stores to walk into and shop in. Like a trip down memory lane.
As a local to gameroom I would reccomend them to anyone. Never bought anything from their online store since I'm a 10 minute drive away but I've seen them doing their thing for the past 10+ years since I was a kid
Great review. I also saw the Mr. Wright Way video too but yours was much more in depth and I immediately set up an account after watching. I will be increasing my collection with this site.
this is absolutely huge, thank you so much for showing this! I’ve never heard of this store before but I’ll definitely be shopping there for my retro fix
You probably haven't heard because it's based out Nebraska I didn't know they were doing online until now I just thought it was stores throughout Nebraska
Compared some of the games with ones I’ve seen at my local retro game stores, and even with shipping the games share similar prices, normally just a few dollars more. I love this!
I was checking out this place today and it actually does have really good prices for everything they have. It's always the places that don't have all the clout on social media that actually have good prices for retro gaming
Nice to see my local video game store being featured! Nebraska based and the guys at the Grand Island location are great people to chat and do business with.
thank you! ive been looking for an online retro game store as theres none nearby. i thought i had found one but one star reviews galore! def going to give this store a chance
Why did you have to post this video during a non-pay period week???! Lol but seriously thank you so much, I loved this video and I’m def going to be browsing some of those CIBs for my collection, some of those boxes for my display shelves, and of course, to play it all!
I’m so sorry 😂😂😂
Thanks for hipping me to this spot. Here in the DC area we have an exceptional shop in Northern VA called Estarland (amung a few others). They have very fair prices and a nicely currated website.
Be aware some disc plus options are not CIB. They state it under the game, they say it may not come with the manual
Thank you for the information!! Much needed.
Definitely gonna buy from this place, for Nintendo games they have a great selection and aren't the cost of a heart surgery lmao
You think dkoldies prices are the same as a heart surgery fee? Lol I get hating on something but you're more dramatic than any woman I've met lol knock it off.
We appreciate the support!!
@@chapmannumber3 yall rock if that's really you. I hope you get in lots of collections and are able to offer great prices on great items. It seems like that is your jam. I am calling it, these are your golden years, I saved your site for sure!
Great video bro. Appreciate the insight. Wright Way is a great channel. Love his game hunting videos.
First-time viewer to the channel, and this video sure brought me back! My first and only console as a kid was the Atari 2600, and when I got that for Xmas in 1981, I was the king! I still have it and I bring it our for my young niece and nephew to play every Christmas!
That’s freaking awesome dude 😊
I just placed a pretty big order with these guys. Prices seemed good, as expected the rare games are still expensive but not as exaggerated as dk oldies I might make a unboxing/review video of my stuff when I get it to show the condition of how things arrived and what condition they are in etc
Def upload
Keep me posted I wanna see 😊
I would like to know also, there is some stuff I am interested in.
@@RectWizard so their shipping is a little weird it seems they shipped all my things in separate orders arriving on separate dates? I guess they couldn't find a box big enough to fit my whole order into lol
@@relli3035 lemme know when u get them
I’ve been going to Gameroom ever since I was little and I’m super happy to see the get some publicity I just sent this video to the owner to see his reaction
thanks for the info, definitely going to check them out
I am SO GLAD I found this. Thank you so much. You saved me a ton of headaches. I should take you out to coffee so you can teach me more about the retro game market.
You are so welcome 😊
@@RectWizard Also, I was being serious about the coffee thing. But I doubt we live in the same state, lol.
@@guywiththegreenhat5764 I’m in Cali
@@RectWizard North, Central, or South?
I am so glad I found this video. So far my go to for online retailers is Double Jump Video Games and now this one. Otherwise its yard sales, game conventions, ebay, mercari, or facebook market place.
That’s awesome! Thank you for watching and I’m glad you liked the store 😊
Im so glad I found this video! I just put a 6 game order in 🙏🏽 this is the store I’ve been looking for!
That’s awesome 😊 what games?
@@RectWizard I got Jak 1,2,3 and Ratchet and Clank 1,2,3 for a grand total of 66 dollars 😏 planning to buy more and make this my official go to store 🙏🏽
Been looking for a site for some obscure PS2 games and this is it! Thanks 🙏🏻
Not only cheaper but I like seeing what I’m actually getting.
I was actually a regular local customer to Gameroom (the name of their actual store) and I really loved going there but then in I wanna say like October-ish of 2022 they moved their store somewhere else in my city but for those that are able to get there or never been inside before they do have dogs in their store... wish they would come back to 72nd and Farnam...
New sub and love the video! I just saw Mr Wright Ways video on this then yours!
Really glad this video just randomly showed up in my feed, as this is quite the find.
Finally i found a online store with fair prices. Sadly i think i wouldn't be getting a game from them cause the game im looking for it's out of stock. Ill be checking them out, hopefully they get a copy of the game im looking for, thanks for sharing this page!
This info is greatly appreciated. Thank you kind sir.
Anytime 😊
AAYY this was one of my top 5 favorite alternatives to DKScamies.
Lukie Games is another favorite 😍 🙌. I got my wii for 90 bucks, but the price dropped recently so now a wii for 70!
thanks man, glad to tell the community about this great store. also its WRIGHT not Write lol hope you get some good stuff
Oh dude I apologize I’ll get that fixed right away bro 😊
@@RectWizard ha its a common mistake lol, thanks for watching and do buy to many games
Great vid man, I Just subscribed 👍
Thanks to you i found a new and better place to find all my favorite retro games! Thanks RectWizard!
No problem!😊
The background flute music is so badass.
Can’t wait to check them out!
This is Gameroom has actual brick and mortar stores in Omaha and Lincoln N.E. I've been to the one in Omaha N.E. It is a pretty decent store. I have been wanting to go to the Lincoln store but haven't made it out there yet. They just recently bought and reopened the Gamers stores in Fort Dodge and here in Des Moines, IA. I went to the DSM, IA store recently. They had just reopened and didn't have much of an inventory at that time. I haven't been able to get back over there yet. I have bought a few games from them and everything I have bought has worked perfectly.
Looks like a good site, thank you for sharing with us. I will definitely check them out
Oh yea we smoking that DKOldies pack now bois lmao we don’t stop shopping elsewhere until there BIG done for 😂😂 thanks for sharing my guy.
Awesome video my dude. Does this online store also buy games? I have some games i want to offload
I just bought a copy of GTA 4 for the 360 from them! Thanks for putting the spotlight on this business!
Needed This Store TYSM!
saw this website, i ended up buying some rockband drums (80$ for the xbox 360 version) and a guitar hero controller (37$ for a ps2 version) , both are pretty damn clean, not that they opened the guitar, the guitar was kind of grimey inside, nothing a toothbrush with alcohol cant handle.
the drums were worth the 80$ imo, pretty clean and works flawless, comes with sticks and the pedal.
the guitar works as well, needed an adapter which i bought elsewhere
(yes im using it for clone hero)
Love the music, so soothing, what is it?
Thanks bro I been looking for so long
I’m definitely going to check out this store!
Dunno if they're still around, but I remember finding a store called eStarland with kiiinda middle of the road prices. Not many crazy deals, but not too pricey. I remember their trade ins being REALLY good though, like, $60-ish for loose gamecube games.
They are still around 😊 gonna review them in the future
I might give this place a look myself. These prices are way better than DKoldies
Thanks for showing this website. Their prices are soo good I think im gonna buy stuff from here. I saw complete N64 madden games for like 20 bucks. I think that would make an awesome gift for a buddy of mine who loves sports.
Wow. The game art scans are so good
OMG Thank you so much I thought I was gonna have to buy stuff and console's at DKoldies with there prices being so high. You just saved me like over $1000 of dollers from DKoldies new subscriber 👍
Look on eBay you’ll pay the cheapest there
Or marcari app
No problem!😊😊😊
This store is often the reason on how my video game library had gotten so large. They make good on quality.
I live a few blocks from one of there stores and I must say it's a great place to go and get some great deals. I have also traded things into them and the credit I got was really good as well.
I live just south of Omaha and I’ve been going to that location for almost two decades now have gotten tons of great stuff there,
Got GodHand on PS2
For $20 years and years ago from them
I bought an original Nintendo with a few games for around $50 a decade ago. Back then they actually refurbished it. Said they replaced a common component that goes out in them- sorry I can't remember what they replaced. I tore it apart at home and it was spotless. There was fresh solder in spots. Local fiends say they still have the same quality.
I found fight quite a few gaps in their coverage.
First what about their systems that aren't from any of the top five like ColecoVision, intellivision, astrocade, Odyssey 2, vectrex, turbografx-16 Neo Geo, 3DO, CDI, Xavix?
Even with the established companies I know this looking through your video that they're missing one Nintendo system, the Virtual Boy, and one Sega system, the Pico.
Also would 32XCD games be considered Sega CD games, 32X games or it's own category?
Would Starpath Supercharger games be considered a separate category or under the 2600?
unironically thank you for finding this store i might buy some games from here too
Yes, I needed a place that sells 3D Blu-ray since I have the OG LG 3D 55 inch OLED TV with no Burn in from 2015. I use my PS3 and PS4 PRO as my 3D Blu-ray players
great video as always wizard
Thank you so much 😊
I'm a big BIG Silent hill fan and always have been. Collecting silent hill games is possible today as complete copies are still available which is good to know. Yet, for a person like me spending $200 or $300 dollars for that is still not possible, hopefully in future I will be able to buy them, hopefully they stay.
WOW. Ocariina of Time on Pricecharting, CIB has an estimated market value of $96.00 as of today. 116.00 is extremely reasonable in this market for a retailer. You can guarantee that those items are tested as well before selling it.
wow, a dkodies callout video thats not a creator buying a product and acting surprised when they got scammed
you earned my sub
I landed a gorgeous CIB of Kuon for PS2 at the Grand Island location of Game Room! Granted I paid $850 for it but the grail of grails for PS2 doesn't come around often. As the saying goes : There is no place like Nebraska.
omg these prices are nice ill be using this site thanks for showing this place
Awesome find 🔥
Im still studying and I really wanted buy one Handheld or Console, thank you this helps a lot going to buy one, when I get job though 😆
I found a great deal on a silver GBA on TIGR. $79. Seriously considering doing a solderless drop-in IPS screen mod that I saw Tito do on Macho Nacho Productions.
Nebraska owned local business. They aren't perfect but the owner had been in the business for years and is chill. He's always working.
I recognize the music cobblestone village lol
Will check this site out
Always take original pictures. the customer will appreciate greatly.
@1234EMix. We actually built software to manage our storefront inventory and sync it with the website. At one point we had every game in the shop (3 shops) with exact photos online, while they were simultaneously being on the website. Unfortunately this didn’t play nice with google advertising, so we ended up with crappy stock photos for most items. But our sales went way up. Its gonna take us a year to build our own website to do both, but thats the plan…..
@@GamestoreAF i hope you do, since your disc plus option is awesome!
@@GamestoreAF You guys can do it I'm very confident that you can. You should try contacting google to help you with advertising for your website and local as well. google search engine is way better business wise. one step at a time and you guys will accomplish your websites and it will bear fruit over time.
Very fair deals tbh. Exactly at market price or even lower! This game store is legit!
Double Jump is a great place to buy games too. Fair prices and they let you know what you are actually buying
Might have to do a review video 😊 thank you for the suggestion
True
I actually live near them, im from Nebraska, their store in Omaha is great, they have lots of PS2 games and a large variety of consoles
Just checked out the store. Most of the games people want across all platforms are sold out, haven't seen anywhere that says when products cycle back in stock.
This place is awesome, I've been to their Lincoln store a ton. I didn't know they had an online presence though. I got Metal Gear Solid 3 there for, like, a fiver.
I always buy from this store, I live in Lincoln, NE and we have a Game Room store here pretty good prices and they have a large selection of games and consoles, way better then the famous scam DK oldies lol.
I live in the Lincoln area too
@@lilyyoung1002 That's great 😊
What sucks tho is that so many things are sold old😫definitely loving this site tho. Hopefully everything is actually clean tho
A new place for business. Going to try them out.
Definitely better than DKoldies, but they definitely have some stuff to work on. So many listings with no picture at all, and I did notice a few games that were absurdly priced. Most notable was a cart only copy of Pokemon Sapphire that looked like someone dug it out of the trash, and they're charging 33% more than what you can find on eBay in better condition. Just shop smart if you do go here.
Yeah pokemon prices are kind of their own problem. Even if DKoldies lowered the price, it would still be overpriced.
@@ZackT9225 There are stores with stacks of them sitting at high prices. if those stores priced based on what the games would sell for there would be many more on the market and price would come down dratically.
You're not wrong, but that's not really my point on that particular listing. It's for a cart only copy of Sapphire that, like I said before, looks like someone literally dug it out of the trash, and they're charging about $120 for it IIRC. You can get a copy of Sapphire on other websites, including eBay, for $80 and it will almost certainly be in better condition.
What you say is right, but that's only part of the problem. The bigger problem is places like this that see what the games are going for on eBay, and then try to mark them up even higher. There's no justification for it, and all it does is seek to further ruin the market for collectors and people wanting to play older games.
Gaming retro needs to start their own channel
25:16 I've been holding on to my friends copy for over 18 years! SoA Dreamcast > SoA Gamecube!
Might give this place a shot. Have looked into DKoldies before as well as The Game Island.
Trying to find a place to get a cheaper WWF No Mercy.
DkOldies be like I'll take your entire stock, and then resell the same games at their prices
I love This is Game Room, but the shipping kills it for me.
Not sure if you’ve seen this one but there is a used game store that’s called Your Gaming Shop. Another recommendation if not
Wow some of those prices are a great deal. Like $116 for Zelda?! WHAT?!
Hard to buy something that’s “out of stock”
Badass asf recommendation, the discovery of this site alone is about the push I need to for real this time to get back to my retro collecting. You’re helping keep the community alive yourself
I used to work at gameroom and it really is an awesome place. Based out of Lincoln Nebraska!
Great store. Just bought a 20 nes to referb and collect a few games to get back. Only thing was bad is the nes brick for 39. Alot more than ebay.
Morning! Nice day for fishing ain't it! Hu ha!
Wow....some of those prices are actually REALLY good deals like $116 for Zelda?! WHAT?!
i open a eBay story half a month ago and been getting over 100,000 Impressions a day; so i am going to try to make my own website but i have little incentive to do so.
If you are in Las Vegas, Wii play games is definitely a good option as well!
I work at gameroom!!! All consoles are sold with first party controllers.
They doing international shipping or only North America?
There’s a retro game store close to where I work called player’s choice
