(639 reviews)

Pink Gorilla in the U District is a Seattle treasure. This is hands-down the best spot for retro games, import titles, and just soaking in genuine gamer culture. Walking in feels like a blast from the past in the best way possible. ​The selection is incredible—they have everything from classic NES and SNES cartridges to rare Japanese imports for systems you've barely heard of. It's not just a store; it's a museum where you can actually buy the exhibits. The staff are always super knowledgeable and friendly, not gate-keepy at all, just fellow enthusiasts who are happy to chat about games or help you find that one specific title you've been hunting for. ​Whether you're a hardcore collector or just feeling nostalgic for your childhood, you have to check them out.

Decent selection on videogame literature, prices are higher than most used video game stores, going fairly over average values. Not flexible on pricing
