How did I not know about this place until a few days ago? 😆 Seriously fairly priced retro games and very friendly customer service. Going back tommarrow. Take my money! 😂 Got one of those new Analogue 4k Nintendo 64s coming and starting a library. NES Gameboy SNES anything you can think of related to gaming they have it. Customer for life.

Hands down, the friendliest store I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. This place isn’t just a game shop. it’s a community, and one of the most genuine ones I’ve ever had the pleasure of being part of. You can hope for this kind of atmosphere at other shops, but these guys truly deliver. They offer a fantastic selection of games and consistently host events to support those games. Personally, I go here for HeroClix, but I’ve found myself getting excited about jumping back into One Piece, Pokémon, and even Magic — and that’s all because of the trust and comfort this place inspires. There’s no pressure to “fit in” or act a certain way. Socializing here is easy and natural. it really feels like an all-inclusive club where everyone is welcome and valued. It’s not overrun by money-hungry attitudes. good people, great games, and a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Words honestly don’t do it justice. My advice? Stop in and see for yourself, or even just give them a call and ask if they host your favorite game. That’s how it started for me. Bonus: There’s even a thrift store next door, which my fiancée loves — perfect if you bring a friend who enjoys browsing while you play. Oh, and don’t miss their collection of classic and arcade games too! Highly, highly recommend.

Went in there new to collecting pokemon, and the individuals working the store were the best. Purchased 10 packs at MSRP and the workers were nice enough to include an extra just because. Recommend this store to anyone who likes anything that has to do with gaming, not just pokemon. 11/10

Great staff very friendly and clean store lots games and consoles. Even tested game that was scratched before purchasing. Prices were very fair. Everything I looked at had price stickers on them.

I really didn't want to have to do this but, this is my experience While everyone is very nice, the owner is nice and I did get my money back so I appreciate that very much. I brought my Xbox Series S in to be re puttied/pasted after I took it apart to clean it (infestation previously), after claiming to be repasted but not reputtied since it "didn't need it" (it was separated btw lol) and stripped another screw out (one was already gone but it's obvious they used an electric ratchet/screwdriver to take apart) they told me it was an airhole lol anyways I just took it apart to re putty it because I just ordered it and waited for it to be shipped since they never called me back like I was told they would two weeks ago, one of the cpu screws was also left loose and I told them about that as well + showed them. Anyways it wasn't repasted because I see the same factory bone dry thermal paste that I saw when I took it apart to clean it before I brought it. I am extremely disappointed and as sweet as everyone is including the owner I am probably not going to be returning. On good note tho my husband's series x he purchased from here is still working amazingly, I just do not trust you guys repair person anymore, especially since the stripped screw was on the power supply and caused one of the case screws holder to fully break.

Rapture is pretty awesome. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They genuinely have decent knowledge on most of what they sell, but when they don't have experience with something they don't lie to get the sale. They are honest with you. They aren't always the cheapest but they definitely are not over priced. I try to spend what money I can to keep shops like this in business. They host TCG events as well as have board games that you can just walk in and play for free when they don't have an event going.

Honest people about their scummy business practices of price gouging. Literally tells you to your face they go with the highest sold prices of things instead of median/market prices every other store goes with....and if you call it out being unfair you basically get kicked out. Highly recommend not going here for buying or selling stuff.

Super friendly staff and a good place to go to buy older games that are no longer in stock at GameStop or other game stores!

Don't sell, they down play, don't buy, they up charge insanely. My swindled experience is with cards, but this could go for anything. Every hobby store goes by or should go by tcgplayer market price in this case, and typically every store would give about 50% of the price is as either cash or more as in store credit. I played off my selling experience but really shouldn't of. I was told by an employee how the process works for trade ins. It's not market price it's what the lowest sold version of a card is!? So a $10 card should be given $5 but because someone on tcgplayer randomly sold one for$2 I get $1. But of course rapture will sell it for its market price right? Nope. The highest sold unless you're me pulling tcgplayer up to the employees going woah woah no that isn't right. I tried to buy a $3 card and was going to be charged $6. Why? Told by the store owner himself that if I bought it off tcgplayer I'd be charged 1.25 or more for shipping which would make the card about 5 and then there is an extra dollar for them. This is every single card! So after an hour of going through bulk rares which should of been at most $20-$30 they were gonna charge $80!!! If you want fair prices for cards go to kit Kringle or gaming underground or basically anywhere else. No one else does this.

Store is in a great location and is clean, they have a pretty good inventory of retro games as well. Staff is super friendly which is rare. Ok.. now for the sad truths… most of their games like 85 % are not priced. Find a game your into ? Get ready to walk to the front counter to ask for a price or to see it.. over and over. Also if you’re curious about how they price, it’s no where near price charting. Sadly they slowly look for the highest eBay listing and now you need to decide on the fly if that price is worth it. As far as trade in goes who knows what % they are giving you on each item. They never give breakdowns. Find a store willing to put the effort in on pricing items. I’ve visited this store multiple times and nothings changed except for their stock which is constantly shrinking in games and consistently becoming a hobby store for card games. Anyways good luck retro hunting
