While the arcade machines may seem a little lacking at first, once I realized the Neo-Geo machine was packed with over 150 titles to choose from, all for one quarter I was set. The workers were extremely pleasant, open and social, and helped to provide the perfect environment for the arcade (a perfectly relaxed one). The owner turned all the games on for me (even though I only wanted one machine) at 12 noon while the place was dead, and another worker even set up a Gamecube to play games with me later. I ended up leaving having purchased a PS1, and the owner actually let me haggle him down. Ill be back very often, and anyone who thinks game purchases end at Gamestop or Bestbuy need to turn around and walk toward this place. The titles that they have to offer range from various drumming games, to DDR, Crazy Taxi, two Initial D racing games (imported from Japan?), a Street Fighter 3 Alpha machine, the Neo-Geo machine with 180+ games in it, Mario Pinball, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (4 Player), and a light-gun alien shooter, as well as an arcade classics machine with puzzle bobble, arkanoid, breakout, and various other games in it. They let you play any game on the shelf for 1 hour for 5 bucks, or 15 bucks for all day, on their system, in their nice air-conditioned zone on a huge flat-screen, and you can have parties there too, if thats your thing. But I know Ill be spending my time nestled in the corner playing Neo-Geo on a bar stool, or helping them organize old cartridges, because they deserve to be appreciated as one of the last true standing arcades in the state of Massachusetts.

Easily the hub of Massachusettss Fighting Game scene. If youre into Street Fighter IV, Soul Calibur V, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, King of Fighters XIII, Mortal Kombat 9 or any other FG, this is the place to be. Fight Nights every Tuesday and Friday starting at 5, bring your own controller. If youre not into FG, this place has a great selection of old, new & used games, peripherals, consoles, etc as well as a smattering of arcade cabinets. Currently has Crazy Taxi, Super Mario Bros. Pinball, Beatmania IIDX, DDR, Drummania, Popn Music, Neo Geo (a whole bunch of games on this one) and more.

Checked out the place after hearing it moved. The selection of classic games the old place seemed bigger. There seems to be less of a smell and creep factor with the new location now that it is in the mall. Theres a bunch of cool arcade machines in the front and a half-baked ticket redemption area. Didnt go during gaming hours so I have no experience with how tournaments are held.

Really like this place overall, have to love an independent video game store (they even have a few coin-op arcade ganes)! Prices for SNES games at least are a little steeper than you could get online + shipping, but you do get it that day, and they really are the only place in the area in town for classic (NES / SNES / N64) games. Staff is very friendly and knows their stuff.

I love this place! I just wish they had more arcade games, but not to shabby. I always have a great time here. The employees are very cheerful and helpful. Great selection of retro games and consoles for reasonable prices. It is totally with checking out just for the arcade games.

This place is a gold mine. I came to get two Master System controllers (which I got) and discovered more than I bargained for. SNK and TMNT arcade cabinets, a buttload of Retro games and they even hold Fighting game tournaments. They just found themselves a returning customer!!!

Trevor Gardner

Wonderful game selection containing many imported rhythm games. The community is wonderful, the cabinets always in a great condition, and the pricing surprisingly cheap per game (75¢!). This is a place I now frequent, even if it takes an hour drive, and recommend for everyone.

It was terrible. The arcade sucks theres barley any games. The machines did not worked and we lost so much money. I hated it. Dont waste your time. The air hokey machine broke down 5 times. I immediately regret my decision of going there the moment I went in the building.

Dont sell your stuff here the owner jamie is a thief. I went there with 300$ worth of stuff the kid working offers me 48$ an said since you come here all the time i will give you 50$. I say this stuff is worth way more an he said i know.

The people there were very nice but the arcade was loud and obnoxious and EXTREMELY overpriced games with an ok selection of games. For example, a cib link to the past for snes was $200 when it should be around $50-$100ish

This is the place to go for fighting game tournaments. They host Smash 4 on Tuesdays, Melee/PM on Thursdays, and general fighting games on Fridays. They also have many arcade cabinets and games. Staff are nice too.

There are awesome tournaments for street fighter on weekends as it is worth watching. It can get a little loud sometimes as the games are cool but expensive. If youre a gamer, it is a must-see.

Lousy selection of retro games, most had damaged labels and the prices werent exactly competitive. Not worth going for old games, but perhaps your cup of tea if you miss dingy loud arcades.

Chris Hatton

The owners are great people, the employees are super nice and always helpful - great prices - been going to Game Underground for years at the old location - wouldnt go anywhere else.

Came here for a smash bros. tournament. Staff was friendly. The location was very crouded with not much space to move around. overall a very cool vibe though.

Cassie Marley

Great experience. Knowledgeable staff and very kind and polite, even if he could not take all of my trade-ins. Better credit value that going to Game Stop!

King Zoo

David Letts

Super knowledgeable owner, awesome support of local gaming community with the rear event space and cool collection of arcade cabs.

Victor Gonzalez

Great tournament venue with only the essential arcade classics. Everyone is really nice and the venue is well organized

Harpy Monet

Nice but patronizing people. Games and tournaments are great but theres mice literally everywhere.

If your a gamer you need to go here! Only issue is their games are pricey.
