About Us – Gamers Go Retro
Our Story
Gamers Go Retro was founded in 2010 in East Orlando (under the physical store name of Gamers Inc Orlando), right on the foundation of passion, community, and a deep love for all things gaming. Our journey began when two former employees of the iconic game store chain Play N Trade saw an opportunity to keep the spirit of gaming alive. With vision and determination, they purchased the remaining inventory and signed a lease for the same location—giving birth to what would become a Central Florida staple.
Over the past 15 years, we have grown far beyond that humble beginning. Thanks to the overwhelming support of the Orlando gaming community, we've built a reputation as the go-to destination to buy retro video games, consoles, accessories, and unforgettable in-store experiences. From rare classics to everyday favorites, we pride ourselves on offering unbeatable service, competitive prices, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.
We’re honored to be recognized as the highest-rated retro game store in Central Florida, and we take that title seriously. Every product on our shelves, every trade-in, and every conversation is handled with care, knowledge, and a deep respect for the gaming community we serve.
In 2025, we expanded our mission by launching our Gamers Go Retro website—bringing our collection and customer-first service to gamers everywhere. No matter where you’re located, our online store is built to deliver the same quality, trust, and retro gaming magic that have defined us from day one, and now makes it easier than ever to buy retro video games online.
OUR PROCESS!
Nothing is worse than going to a game store and seeing consoles and games on sale that look like they were pulled out of a dusty attic. At Gamers Go Retro, you won’t find a single game or console with old stickers, smudges, or bugs! Each game and system we get traded in gets thoughtfully inspected, tested, and cleaned before we present it to you with our 90-day warranty. If a console is broken, we fix it! If a game is dirty, we clean it! It is simple: we provide a product WE would want to buy! You can trust that your order will be handled with the care and respect that we have put into preserving the legacy of Retro Gaming for 15 years.
