Customer reviews
What our customers say about shopping with Game Town
★★★★★
“First order — picked up Eternal Darkness for GameCube. Was nervous about pre-owned but the disc looks mint and the box was well packed. Quick reply when I emailed before buying.”
★★★★★
“Bought a PS2 controller for my nephew. Arrived in two days, exactly as described. Will use again.”
★★★★★
“Great selection of retro titles. WELCOME15 saved me a bit on a bigger basket. Tracking email came through as soon as it shipped.”
★★★★★
“Ordered a SNES game — label and cart matched the photos. Packaging was proper stiff cardboard, not a flimsy envelope. Happy to recommend for anyone rebuilding a collection.”
★★★★★
“Needed a spare Dreamcast controller — condition was listed honestly (slight wear on the cable) and it works perfectly. Customer service answered my PAL question the same day.”
★★★★★
“Bought merch as a birthday gift — arrived before the weekend and the invoice didn’t show the price on the packing slip. Small detail but it mattered. Top experience.”
