Game Cycle

Friendly and helpful staff. Arcade has a good selection of games. The machines take quarters; there's a quarter machine there so you can exchange your bills. Some machines are 25¢, but racing and pinball are a bit more. I think the pricing of the arcade and the general merchandise in the store seems fair. I'm excited to come here again with my partner :)

This place rocks! Whether you're feeling nostalgic for pinball, browsing the collectibles, or looking to trade old stuff in. They got you covered.
Countless good memories, that's why I've been a customer there for 12 years.

I had not been there for a few years but my son wanted to play video & pinball games so decided to swing by Game Cycle. They have way more games than I last remember and many old school ones I had totally forgotten about. More importantly, the staff there was so nice and sweet!! Their compassion for the public real shines!! I left way more happier than when I came. Kiddos Game Cycle, I am thoroughly impressed!! ♥

Great spot with lots of old school games to choose from. Plenty of collectibles and things to buy as well. Customer service was great (not sure if it was the owner).

Just doing an update! I would have to say this is my favorite place to buy blu-rays! My boys love the arcade! My youngest requested to come here to spend his birthday money. Super nice guys running the place.

Great place for classic Arcade games! Tons of Video Games/Movies and Music and Toys for sale. Great Service! I go at least once a week!!

Heaven. I come here both as a casual game collector and enjoyer, and if you're like me, you'll be amazed at the selection from corner to corner. You'll find walls of games with the consoles, wires, converters, memory cards, and accessories they pair with. All with fair and up to date prices. On top of that, the arcade experience is wonderfully inviting and nostalgic, plus you just gotta love NFL Blitz. Everyone who works here as given me nothing but honesty and fairness, both as a buyer and a seller, and I'm honored to make questionable financial decisions with my fighting game addiction here. Worth your time and quarters!

Very cool spot for kids and adults. All the game systems, old Nintendo etc you can play. Like no other place I've seen before.

Really cool little store, in a once populated, abandoned city.

Walked in here expecting nothing, and was very surprised of the game selection. I asked if he had PC Engine games, and the owner said no. Then I looked and saw a stack of TurboGrafx games. Most shops wouldn't even know what PC Engine is, and if they did, they would have directed me to the TurboGrafx section... if they had one. They probably wouldn't even know what TurboGrafx is honestly. So, they know their stuff. They get a star for that.

The prices seemed very fair. I picked up a copy of Dragon Quest VI on DS for a very reasonable price. Maybe even lower than eBay. Most of these old games stores have crazy prices. I also didn't see any "Nintendo Tax". Where shops list popular Nintendo branded retro games at double, or even triple the value, cause they know they will sell to new retro gamers, that don't understand how to look up prices. Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest etc.. generally have a Nintendo Tax at these retro shops. It's nice to see some stores with prices to compete with eBay.

He also has a bunch of old movies for sale.

Probably the coolest part of the shop is the in store arcade. Probably 30+ machines you can play on. All authentic arcade and pinballs.

I travel a lot from Columbus to Dayton to visit family. I will be stopping here a few times a year with a wad of cash. The selection of quality titles rivals almost every store in Columbus, and the Arcade sets it apart. This shop has to have a monopoly of all the retro-gaming goods in Springfield.

If I lived here the guy would kick me out cause this is probably the only place in Springfield to have some fun.

Great selection of games and memorabilia to go along with an awesome staff. If you want great service stop in and see Randy! He provided me with a Wii and all the accessories to be used for my classroom. First class guy! I won't go anywhere else.

It was really cool walking in and seeing all of the pinball games and classic arcade games that I played in my youth. Then I saw the LP's and CD's. I could spend hours here.

Great selection of games from ALL eras! Awesome staff and an EPIC arcade like when I was a kid! If you want a piece of nostalgia Game Cycle is the place to go! It's one of the few places that makes me happy to be there!

My visit to the best retro game store was truly exceptional! They have an extensive selection that almost perfectly matched what I was looking for, and the staff was not only incredibly friendly but also top-notch. One of the staff members, a guy with tattoos, helped me find many things I was searching for. Overall, this place is absolutely amazing!

A lot of things to look at. Ended up not looking at the shelves of games because the amount of concoles he had.
Left with a 3do fz-10, Nomad.
Had a fair amount of 32x games which can be hard to find.
And a fair amount of 3do games we ended up getting a couple.

Hidden Gem! About any game you want for any system. Huge arcade to play all those old games....I would say 25+ pinball machines along with many shooters, drivers, motorcycles, pacman, guitar game, and more. If you are a gamer, This is a must!

One of the best hangout spots in Springfield. Definitely doing the most to keep our childhoods alive. It's a little piece of heaven for gamers like myself.

Loads of fun. They have an expressive selection of vintage video games, movies, and music to choose from. Collector grade and playable condition. They also have an old school arcade, so we’ll load up on quarters and spend an hour or two playing pinball or classic arcade cabinets. They also have other collectibles, systems, etc. Some very rare items, too.

This place is just incredible. I’ve been coming to this location since it was Video Outlet, and I gotta say, the Game Cycle knocks it out of the park compared to Video Outlet and any other game store within at least a 100 mile radius.

Customer service is top notch, the selection is wonderful. I seriously find so many cool things in there every time I go. Prices are more than reasonable and you can just tell there’s a true love for gaming, especially retro gaming, fueling this place. And they have an arcade. I mean cmon, an ARCADE.

I’d literally take a part time job there paying less than minimum wage just to be around all that cool stuff.

Seriously, check out Game Cycle. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Love this shop - I was so impressed with this store’s offerings! Too many options to buy and I truly love their customer service. The guy with tattoos is def my fav employee to work with and there are wonderful people who will take care of you and your gaming experience. I definitely will come back.

I love this store. Always a good selection and the arcade has tons of old classic games.
