SideQuest Games, Portland OR

It's 2024. A paper sign taped to the door saying you're closed but not a peep on the website. Not a good look for you.

Mediocre pricing, spotty service, successful in 1/2 repairs. Unless you’d prefer a long wait and no updates on your requested service I’d go somewhere else. A sob story about how busy you are does relatively little for either of us when I come in a month later after 1-2 week eta and the store is dead and the repair unfinished. Despite 3 calls and one message about status on my end communication is the problem even though i initiated 100% of it.

The really tall dark-haired tech was super awful when I was asking about getting some controllers fixed, kept interjecting rudely when someone else was trying to help. Made me feel really uncomfortable:

The store used to be great when it first opened things for the most part things were priced reasonably and the selection was nice. But after a few years things nosedived to the point where it just isn't worth it beyond being a place to window shop and it only seems to be getting worse. There are worse stores for sure but to say SideQuest games is good in its current state would be a complete lie. People should shop around more whether they go to other stores websites etc. An important note for people reading this the owner may reply to this review justifying his pricing know that for the most part his current prices fly way outside the current ranges on sold prices. I highly suggest people do research into anything they consider buying as this store capitalizes on those who don't.

I went to the retro gaming convention and I bought an N64 that was told that came with a gaming expansion but in fact did not so now I can’t play my games and I’m pretty upset about it!

I love this store. They always have a great selection at fair prices. If you are gaming on a budget, they do have a clearance section too. Whether you are a casual gamer or a hardcore collector, this store has something for everyone. They also sell new titles for Xbox, PS and Switch too. They have excellent staff too. Really great people. Can't recommend this store enough.

I was in a few days to return a N64 3 days after I bought it, because it didn’t work on my TV. The person that helped me wasn’t that friendly. I wanted my hard earned money back, but instead gave me store credit that I’m never going to use. I will never ever go back.don’t waste your hard earned money here.

Lied about open hours. I just needed a power bank and they say they open at 10am.it's 1130am

Whether you are a hardcore collector or recapturing the magic of your childhood, this store has the best inventory in the area. Josh and his team are doing a great job!

As parents of teenagers, we often find it difficult to get quality family time. At Sidequest we find all the latest games as well as the nostalgic games we remember playing as kids. The store is very well organized and stocked with something for everyone. We’re trying to make it a regular family outing to get ice cream and a new game. We have had some great family fun playing together!

I've been a recurring customer since they opened and service from the staff is always excellent. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Large store with large selection plus they can do console cleanings and repairs. I've gotten some of my best stuff from them over the years. Check their Facebook and website for updates on new incoming products.

Wonderful shop! They have new and old games as well as old gaming magazines. Walking through the shop, I get that feeling I remember when I went into game crazy as a kid. Please check this place out and support them over GameStop!

Great place, friendly/knowledgable people. Tons of selection - from the newest to some of the oldest. One of the only places that I've seen that actually have a selection of Philips CD-i VideoCD movies (left with one: D). Had "big box PC games" too.

We aren't local, but if we were - we would go back again.

I love this place! Brought in a stack of old optical media to be resurfaced and spent 45 minutes just looking around at the HUGE selection and enjoying some free-play arcade Ms. Pac-Man and Double Dragon with my kid. A treasure on McGloughlin!

This store has everything for your retro gaming needs. From commons like Mario and Zelda to boxed retro consoles and Turbografx! The staff is very friendly and eager to help you find that lost piece of nostalgia that you are looking for. Highly recommend if you're in the Portland area and looking to beef up your collection.
