Every time i visit im greeted promptly and have a great visit. Staff knows a bit of everything it seems and a great family environment. They have a gamers lounge and things for the kids to play while you shop. Better than ANY game store that i have ever been to. I wish i could give more stars!

Awesome place to buy games! I love coming here and I think your arcade machines are a nice addition because its always fun to play on them. Staff and people are very friendly and helpful. Now I wouldnt say its a complaint but I noticed your PlayStation 1 selection of games is very narrow and I dont know where you get your games, or how difficult it is to find them, but I think a wider selection of retro games would be nice. Anyways Im rating 5/5 for overall satisfaction! Cant wait to come back! 😁

Super cool staff and amazing selection. It’s so fun to go and see what rare games might have come in since your last visit. I take friends here whenever they visit because it’s so charming.Great customer service too, any time I’ve bought a game or system that had trouble when I got it home they were happy to fix or help me replace.

Nice place but 1 star for customer service and repairs. Not knowledgeable on what repairs can cost so for someone like me who has no vehicle because of hard times due to covid you waist a lot of time taking bus across town in hopes you can fix your product. After a week they tell me theres nothing they can do and nothing they can do to help me out with my product with no consideration for my time or my effort. Should have told me in the beginning that repairs cost more then the item so I dont waist time or money but they said they have absolutely no idea what it costs so at what point am I dealing with a professional? Learn what your repairs cost before you waist your time and effort taking anything cuz its probably not worth the week of waiting.

This place is always a treat to shop at. Not only do they have a great selection of retro games & peripherals but their custom shirts & bumper stickers are seriously underrated! I wish they still had the arcade cabinets from SGA but Im happy to support all I can.

My first time there was over a decade ago when I was going to college in ABQ. Ended up joining the facebook group they have just to keep in touch. Jon (the owner) is a wonderful person with a clear passion for the store he runs, the prices are spot on (if not lower than what youd expect! It happens!), and they even run an adoption program for cats. All around awesome.

It’s nice that there are a lot of good reviews, however i just purchased 2 controllers that DO NOT work!! was told they could only be swapped for 2 more of the same model AND they offer a zero cash back return policy... very disappointed, we were so excited to play after a long day but guess not :/ just another janky business in ABQ.

If you are looking for a hard to find game, system, cable, etc. - this is a good place to look while not spending too much money.They sell cables for older consoles like the N64, Gamecube, etc.Got a good Gamecube game for a decent price compared to online where its double.Kind staff and courterous staff. Make sure to call ahead because of COVID saftey measures.

Nice and large location. Great selection, including stuff as rare as Jaguar, 3DO, and CDi games. Definitely the place to be for accessories.

Friendly staff. Great place to find retro games and consoles. And they offer reasonable prices/rates to buy or trade-in your old unused consoles and games (if they arent already overstocked in a particular game or console.)

Review №30

Exceptionally knowledgeable staff, and excellent prices. The inventory is impressive for such a small location, with something for every console. From Atari to current versions of Xbox and PlayStation, it is in stock.The store is carpeted with both systems and games for sale. Bargain bins present choices for economical buys, though the average regular price is certainly affordable. Moreover, because of the nature of the business, the likelihood of them finding a customers desired game or system is quite high. They even have an on-call list for customers seeking something specific.Finally, a heartwarming note. This store regularly has one or two kittens in house that are up for adoption. They host these cats in cooperation with a local pet adoption organization.So whether one is in the market for a retro game, a current console, or an adorable cat, this is the place to go!

Review №37

I’ve tried really hard to like this place because it is the only retro game store in town, but every time I go they are either not open, or can’t clean disks, or can’t ring up items! I don’t think I’ll be giving it another chance I think I’m giving up on it. 😭

Review №38

Fast and friendly service. Staff was very nice but, not very knowledgeable as far as retro games go, unfortunately. Thats supposed to be the whole idea of this store. I guess when you hire young kids, they arent really into old school games. Other than that, I love and, highly recommend this store to any fellow gamers out there. 😁

Excellent Prices! Not too wide a variety of games to choose from, but a great staff and a large selection of consoles. I bought a GameCube and when I found the controller had a small issue, they replaced straight away. I would totally recommend this establishment to anyone looking for some nostalgia.

Super-friendly staff. Clean, well-organized store. Lots of retro inventory of popular common games and not-so commons. Owner, John, is incredibly knowledgeable on retro gaming.

One of the best Retro Game stores in the city of Albuquerque, Gamers Anonymous has friendliness and customer satisfaction down to a very fine line. Jon, the store owner is one of the most caring and outgoing souls Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. It is a great place to find great games and make Great Friends.

SUPER friendly and wide selection of vintage games. My family visited this location and the young man working there was awesome! Got some great deals on some vintage games and they have some very good pricing on their games for a brick and mortar store. They have quite a few vintage Nintendo store displays that were working and were fun to play! This store is a must for gamers looking to add to your collection.

Dont always have the classic games or new or old controllers you might want, but what do you expect when they are trade-in sourced. Owner is a really great guy. Merch is pretty expensive. Best trade in value maybe you can get.

I purchased a wii u Christmas eve. It did not function properly attempted to return it the day after Christmas and was told no returns. But they could exchange it. Why would I buy something else that doesnt work?. This is what happens when you try and buy local. Never go to this store!

Gamers Anonymous used to be a pretty good place to buy and sell video games, gaming consoles and accessories. This is not the case any more. If you want to be treated like dirt after years of being a loyal customer than go to Gamers Anonymous. If you want defective (new in package) controllers than go to Gamers Anonymous. Finally, if you want to be low balled way worse than Gamestop than Gamers Anonymous is the place to go.

This store was wonderful. They helped me so much when I was in desperate need of some cash. I sold my Nintendo Switch which was devastating but they went above and beyond to help. Great store! Ill definitely be back.

Review №77

Do you even game bro? One of the largest game store collections I have ever been to. Staff is all rock stars. If you are looking for some random hard to find console or accessory I am certain they have it in stock or at least have the expertise to find it. They even have the old console demo displays, you know the ones where you have to break your neck to look up at the TV while holding onto the controller that wont move. So much nostalgia.

Sc
Review №78

Pretty chill place. They have a cat to pet, if youre into cats. Lots of used games. I go in for old NES games. Its almost like the record player of games. Makes no sense, but I still just prefer the old Nintendo.

Ma
Review №79

I absolutely love this store. They have a myriad of gaming collectibles and memorabilia as well as kiosks where you can play and hang out as well. They occasionally have cats up for adoption in the store so cat allergies may be a problem. They have community evens and frequently post upcoming events on their Facebook page as well. I will always make this store my first stop for gaming merchandise
