From cartridge-dropping classics to console collections that actually work — we're the shop where your childhood gaming memories get a second life on Front Street.
Retro Video Game World started with a simple idea: every Exeter kid who ever pressed Start on a cartridge should have a place to come back to. We're located right on Front Street, and we've been curating the best in vintage gaming for over a decade.
Whether you're hunting for a missing piece of your childhood or looking to make room on your shelf, we've got you covered.
Browse hundreds of tested and verified titles spanning every major system — from 8-bit legends to the golden age of 3D gaming.
Got a shelf full of games you've outgrown? We buy collections and offer trade credit that actually beats what you'd get online.
That hum you hear isn't supposed to be there. We diagnose and fix hardware issues — from replacement capacitors to full restorations.
Sealed classics, limited editions, and those weird imports you can't stop thinking about. Our rare section is always changing.
Tournament nights, new-release celebrations, and drop-in play sessions. We're building the friendliest gaming community in Exeter.
Not sure which system to start with? Want to know if that loose cartridge is worth restoring? Ask us — we live for these conversations.
Shelves packed with nostalgia, corners full of surprises, and the kind of vibe that makes you want to linger.
Don't take our word for it — hear from the folks who make our shop their weekend ritual.
"I drove past this place for years without stopping. Now I'm here every Saturday. Found my original Super Mario Bros. set in perfect condition — I actually got emotional."
"Brought in a box of old games I'd been storing in my parents' garage for 20 years. They gave me a fair trade-in and helped me pick out three new-to-me titles. Best afternoon ever."
"My kid discovered this place and now we're a family. They fixed our old SNES for less than it would cost to buy a used one. These folks genuinely care about the hobby."
Walk in anytime — no appointment needed. Or give us a call and we'll hold something special for you until you can swing by.
