Game City - Monument, Colorado

agroed

I've been to just about every retro video game store in the state, and so far, Game City Monument is the absolute best. I'm a hardcore collector with over 1000 games (most of them from here), so I know what I'm looking for out of a store, and I'll walk out of a place in 30 seconds flat if I see any red flags. Thankfully there are none to be found here. The prices are always fair. Unlike other stores that will nickel and dime you at every turn, or charge upwards of 200% market value, Game City always makes sure they're offering a good deal. The owners are extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and can help you with whatever you need, whether you're looking for something specific or need a recommendation (which Candice is especially excellent at). They have an outstanding selection. Every time I go I find new things I never would have elsewhere. In particular, they have by far the best stock of imports in the state. They also let you test any game or equipment that you like before buying, and have a nice 30-day return policy. You probably won't need to return anything though because they test everything so well that even after hundreds of purchases, I've never once had to take something back. They can also repair any consoles that are giving you trouble, and can fix any discs that are too scratched up to work for $5 a pop. There's also a large selection of DVDs, most of which are $2 each if that interests you. I've been going to this store for over 10 years, and I'm definitely not going to stop any time soon. Game City is awesome! If you go based on my review, tell them Ronnie sent ya.

We stopped here on a whim since we were on our way to do a retro game crawl in co springs. I am not exaggerating when I say this place has the biggest selection, best prices, and friendliest staff compared to all the other places we visited in co springs! They were SO sweet to my son and did not hesitate to show him all the things he wanted to look at. This is a hidden gem of a video game store!

I've been going here for an entire half of my life and have been to game shops all over Colorado Springs and have yet to find a shop nearly as good as Game City. Insane selection of domestic games as well as imports. CJ is crazy knowledgeable and will always have a recommendation for something you may never have heard of but is right up your alley.

They may not have everything, but they definitely have at least something you might want. This store is phenomenal! Got a Wii U for a great price and they were super helpful with various other things. They don't do console repair, but they will at least try to help you figure out what's wrong. My PlayStation 2 had an issue with a certain game, and they showed me what was wrong and cleaned the game disc for me as well. Very knowledgeable and nice people, as well as very pleasant to talk with.

Overall, I absolutely recommend this place to any video game enthusiast! Despite the small size of the store, they have a very, very nice selection and even if you're there to browse and don't end up purchasing anything, it's just a nice place to check out.

It has a variety of games for a good number of consoles both domestic and import.

I had gone to Best Buy and Walmart to find an old part for an Xbox controller that Microsoft doesn’t make anymore. Neither of them had it. However, my friends and I used to come here all the time in high school and I happened to remember it. Within seconds the person working there was able to find the part. This place is still just as awesome as I remember it.

This is my favorite retro game store in Colorado. They have almost everything. Genuinely. And it's clear that there's so much love and attention going into it.

Games and consoles are being preserved and restored with the balance and care of people who know what's important to the people who really love games and the knowledge base is off-the-charts. You get 85% of the retro con experience in one compact store.

It's a gem. A hidden gem. And it's so good that I struggle telling you how good it is because I like having my pick of the playfield. A little more expensive than ebay collecting, sure, but if it's on the shelf in this store, it's exactly what they say it is. You can't get that guarantee online. To physically hold while you're choosing which new toy you're going to scamper off with is the exhilarating side of collecting.

Don't go here because you want a "great deal" or like you're sneaking off with some diamond in the rough. Go here because you enjoy this. Fill your soul.

Lots of options for so many game systems. Got games for our atari 2600 and wii systems. Employee was very helpful and knowledgeable. They buy and sell all sorts of electronic games and accessories. Worth the extra distance to go to Monument, but call to see if they have what you want if you need something specific!
