About Phoenix Games

In 2009, an enthusiastic gamer opened Phoenix Games and discovered that many people shared his passion for retro, vintage gaming as well as current platforms. Today, Phoenix Games is a thriving business and sets a standard for independent game stores. We clean and test our games, systems, and accessories before we put them up for sale. We replace save batteries and Nintendo pinsets. We even let customers test games prior to purchasing. Then, we back our products up with a 30 day warranty. We also offer a variety of repair services and in-store gaming. Phoenix Games – old school gaming with a new level of customer service. Check us out.
