If you’re a fan of retro gaming and happen to be in Houston, you’re in for a treat. Retro City Games, located at 11300 West Rd, Suite P, Houston, TX 77065, is the newest video game store in the area, having opened its doors around three months ago. Despite being a fresh face in the scene, it has already made a significant impact on the local gaming community with its incredible selection, welcoming atmosphere, and deep commitment to preserving gaming history.
I recently had the opportunity to visit Retro City Games, and let me tell you—it’s a must-see for both collectors and casual gamers. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with an impressive mix of old-school classics, rare imports, and modern hits. Their stock includes hard-to-find titles for the Famicom, Super Famicom, and Famicom Disk System, along with more contemporary offerings for systems such as the PlayStation 4. They have a nice selection of collectibles as well. If you’re a Sony or Nintendo fan, you’ve got to check them out. Whether you’re looking for a nostalgic throwback, wanting to explore a game you’ve never heard of but looks interesting, or hunting for a game you passed on previously, there’s something for everyone.
To give you a closer look at what they have to offer, I actually did a video on Retro City Games, which you can check out HERE. The video highlights their fantastic selection, including a Super Famicom item I had never seen before. At the end of the video, I even had the chance to speak with the store’s owner, Richard, about his vision for the shop and the challenges of launching a retail business in today’s gaming market. I had met Richard previously at Retropalooza and other gaming conventions, and I can confidently say that he’s one of the good guys in the industry—genuinely passionate about games, collecting, and the gaming community as a whole.
If you’re in the Houston area, I highly recommend stopping by Retro City Games. You can reach them at (832) 409-7944 or retrocitygamesllc@gmail.com. You can also check out their Facebook page for updates on new arrivals and events. Supporting local businesses that are run by passionate gamers makes a difference, and with the dedication and effort Richard is putting into this store, I have no doubt that Retro City Games will become a go-to destination for Houston’s gaming community for years to come.
