8-Bit Retro Video Games ABQ

07/11/2026

A fun trade came through the shop today.
We picked up a stack of Nintendo 3DS, DS, and Game Boy Advance games, with a lot of titles we haven't had on the shelves in a while.
If you've been waiting for us to restock handheld games, it's worth stopping in this week. As always, the good stuff doesn't sit for long.
Have a collection you're thinking about selling? Bring it by. We'll go through everything with you and make a fair offer for cash or even more in store credit.

Just picked up an absolutely killer PlayStation collection.

Lots of heavy hitters in this one:

We're getting everything tested, cleaned, and priced now. Keep an eye on the page because these won't sit for long.

As always, we're buying video games, consoles, and collections of all sizes.

Just got in a really cool trade that I wanted to share.

We picked up a stack of Complete-In-Box SNES games along with some awesome Dreamcast titles, and they're now available at the shop. There are some pieces in this collection that we don't see very often, and a lot of it is in great condition.

One of the best parts of running this store is seeing collections like this come through the door. Every week, local collectors bring in games they've held onto for years, and those collections end up finding new homes with other gamers.

If you've got old games, consoles, or a collection you've been thinking about selling or trading, we'd love to take a look.

Stop by and check out the new arrivals before they're gone.
