This place is just awesome. We talked to the gentleman that was working here and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the toy collectibles and we just loved the retro arcade in the back! All day for $10!! Where was this when we were kids?!

Awesome games as well as very cool toys. The owner/staff are very knowledgeable and eager to help you with any and all questions. The only downfall is they have so many things to choose from. One could easily go broke. Lol. Love this place

Got an awesome deal for a birthday and some gaming for the day.Keep up the great work and thanks so much for the throw backs and choice merchandise.

I grew up in the 80s and was thrilled when my daughter asked togo to NerdVana for her 7th birthday. All the kids and adults had a great time. Im looking forward to getting a sitter and going back one evening with friends and beer. Definitely a great place!

We brought a bunch of 14yo boys and they had a BLAST! Unlimited 70-90s arcade play made this 1980s guy so happy. Check it out!

My 10 year old son and his friend wanted to go this shop for an outing. I ended up having just as much as they did! For a flat price you can play a great assortment of popular and rare vintage stand up arcade video games. It was well worth the price and we played till our hands were sore. Atmosphere was clean and family friendly. The store front gaming center also has new and used collectibles for sale. Great selection of toys, cards, and trinkets to buy. Be sure to check out the Transformers collection, they have some really cool items that the employees can show you. Great fun for a great price!

This store is a hidden gem of the BCS area.Any persons of the nerd/gamer/pop-culture/sci-fi/good people communities need to check this place out. They fit so many different, awesome pieces into their shop and right when you think you have seen it all, you go into their arcade.The arcade is worth every cent. So many great games classics for gamers old and young. If you have children, I highly recommend you take them here some Saturday and make some wonderful memories gaming with them in the arcade. They will thank you for it one day.Tl,DR: go here. Good people. Good times. Good vibes.

Took My kids here for a birthday party. The kids had a good time. They have a lot of old toys on display and for sell. The arcade is has a lot of oldies but goodies. I think if you want to play some old school arcades it is worth a go. The owner is very nice and helpful.

Be a kid again. Video games of the 80s. $10 play all day. They even allow you to leave to grab lunch or dinner and return How cool is that!! You wont be disappointed. Stop in & talk to them. Sale collectables too. Reserve a party room for office parties, birthdays etc.

Spent a little more than 2 hours in the arcade with my wife on the all day pass and dont regret the choice for a date night. Both of us left feeling younger as if we just stepped back a few decades into pure fun.

Spent 2 hours here with my 14 year old Saturday and we had a blast! Throwback awesome arcade games from my childhood that my 2018 gamer loved! They had a clean little lounge to take a break and have a some Candy or Chips and a soda! Stretch your thumbs people... the arcade gaming is real!

This place is perfectly named. It has a store filled with toys from the 80s and for $10 you can get unlimited arcade time. The arcade games are all from the 80s or early 90s. Its very easy to kill a few hours here.

We love this place, its something of beauty. With all the vintage games available I didnt know where to start my journey when I got there. Im glad to be able to share the older games with my son and we had a blast playing games all day. We even left for pizza then came back to play some more. The vintage toys really set me back to my youth. We will be going back, and back and back.

Spent couple hours just playing games with my kids. They loved it and so did I. No really expensive at all, $10 for unlimited play, when you consider how many quarters we used to out in those things. Only thing I miss was pinball.

A fun place featuring most of the classic games from the 80s all immaculately maintained (no pinball). Theres also a toy store featuring new and rare stuff from the 60 - 80s.

Acting upon advice provided by the owner to another reviewer, I promised my two kids to take them to Nerdvana on a Thursday in order to pay $30 instead of $45 to play some video games. Unfortunately that information was inaccurate, and I had already taken the afternoon off work, promised kids etc. Even more unfortunate was the fact that after I pointed it out to them they still charged me $45. Poor business practices to be sure.Most of the games are nice classic games. With the exception of one racing game all games are joystick+buttons. There are no pinball, shooting or sit-down racing games. We did our best to stick around for 4 hours to get our $45 worth, but joystick+buttons gets a bit repetitive, especially with the low lighting and very limited space.Bottom line is that it is too expensive for what it is. In a town where matinee movies are $5 and bowling, laser tag, ice skating are cheap I am unlikely to return unless there is some special pricing on.

Review №53

Was neat to relive some childhood memories of the toys and some of the original cabinet arcades. Not a big selection of games though. We noticed while only looking around, with the owners permission, Galaga was Out of Service, and that many of the games are modernized cabinets. The kids there didnt seem to mind that though, as many were playing away. Including our twin girls who were they for a birthday party. Pricing for the all day arcade isnt bad, but for the amount of games they have and the type of games, Im not sure Id go back too many times. I recall in the 90s, Diversions Game room off Nacogdoches in San Antonio where I spent many a dollar there, who finally did a few of those free play days, and it was the same price back then, and they had 5 ti.es the games. Pinball, air hockey, sit-in arcades, sit on arcades. I think they have about the same number as Horseshoe Junction in Brenham. The old school and new toys they have are nice, but a lot is pricey. But, for those who want to shop local, and dont mind paying a bit more, they may find something the like. The location is not very convenient, as its well off the beaten path. I bet theyd draw a lot more customers if they were closer to more local busy businesses. But, still, worth a trip or to if for nothing else but strolling down memory lane.

Review №57

Increadibly awsome place. So much in the way of vintage toys. I felt like a kid again seeing all of them. The arcade is really well priced at $10 per person for an all day pass. They have a good seclection of games in modern day cabinets. Im guessing they are multi function cabinets and they just load up roms or game files into an internal computer. Kinda wish the arcades had the artwork and button banners for the games that were loaded into them. Made playing some of the games kinda confusing as I had no idea what button did what. That is really the only thing I see that they could improve on.Well done guys, I will definately be returning!
