Great retro game store with a large selection of rare and obscure games and game hardware. They also have a small selection of vinyl video game soundtracks, and a number of arcade machines on freeplay. Fun place to browse and find something you didnt know you wanted.
Stop reading reviews of this place and just go, it’s an amazing experience.Tracy (owner) is by far the most knowledgeable person you will find when it comes to video games. When you step into the store you will quickly understand this is his passion. It’s spotless, everything is organized to the extreme and he likely knows if he has a copy of anything you are looking for off the top of his head.This was the first time I had ever seen an actual Atari Jaguar (he had 5 in stock when I was there😮) and that’s not even the tip of the iceberg of what’s there.Check them out on Instagram as well, he is always posting about the latest inventory.And vinyl collectors will be stoked to know he carries a good collection of video game soundtracks. 🤯Buyer beware, it’s hard to walk out only with the item you were looking for 🤣
Its the best retro to go to and got everything you can think of. Great prices, great variety. And even the best staff too! Highly recommend this store.
A fun little blast of nostalgia. The owner seems to take a lot of pride in his shop as its very clean and organized.There are lots of retro games and systems for sale, as well as some unique artwork. I brought my kids here and they had a blast looking at everything and playing some of the arcade games that were set up by the entrance.
Super cool retro video game store. Like game stop but all used and vintage everything video games. From Atari to original Nintendo to PS4 and Xbox 1 games, accessories, consoles and collectables. Very organized clean and professional!!! Some restored retro arcade games up from as well. Was a blast in the past for video games!!!
Great little video game shop! Owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this store!
This store is the all around best retro gaming store in the state IMO, and the recent layout changes are an amazing upgrade. Prices are reasonable and in many cases better than what you’ll find online before shipping, inventory is expansive, always feel welcome.
Just a perfect dose of nostalgia with more than reasonable pricing on old and modern video games! Wide selection and now a bigger store!.. just wish it was in SLC, but its also nice to drive up to Layton to listen to a new album too.
Amazing store! Clean and organized, I loved just perusing the sections and flipping through the hundreds of games and records. It was so neat and well-kept, and the owner was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Will absolutely stop in as one of my primary jaunts.
Owner is very knowledgeable and great at communicating. He went above and beyond in helping me feel like I got a good deal when I sold him my collection. Stores like this are one of a kind. Help keep it lively!
We drive 2 hours just to check out this store a few times every month lol the have the best finds, are super clean, and have an awesome chill vibe. :)
The BEST video game store in Utah! Everytime I go to Minus World Games it is always very clean and organized. They have a fantastic game selection and are always very friendly. I highly recommend this video game store to EVERYONE!
Sold old and hard to find gaming items for cheap and reasonable prices
Organization is on point, everything is easy to find. Loose cartridge games are all individually wrapped and labeled so you can rifle through the inventory quickly and easily. No giant bins that are hard to look though. Friendly customer service. Cool rare items that I wish I was rich enough to buy. Check this place out if you havent already!
Great variety of games and good staff. Will definitely start coming more often.
Fun place with a lot of games and consoles. Had a great time visiting.
Great shop. Feels good just walking in and being surrounded by video games old and new
Excellent selection, great price, and friendly staff. I just wish I lived closer! It is, in my opinion, the best one in the area and worth going out of the way for.
I love this place, they have a wide range of retro and newer games and they trade and sell values are way better than gamestop and if you need something they most likely have it best game store in utah in my opinion
Honestly the best game shop in Utah.You can see the love and care put into the place and also the selection, not just the most popular but all the more obscure systems are there and are treated fairly with a good selection.Quality of merchandise is top notch and the prices are fair.Highly Recommended.
Really a great place to find your retro game needs! Great staff and quality service! Enjoy going here and reminiscing all of the games I enjoyed as a child growing up. Would be nicer if they had a slightly bigger store to operate out of, but overall its great!
Best retro game store there is. Owner is nice and knows a lot.
Nostalgia heaven, I love taking my son in here and showing him all the classics from when I was growing up. If your in search of classic Nes, sega, and PS games this is the place. Owner is awesome too.
Excellent source for cartridge games and consoles. Moved here a month ago and just discovered it today. Owner was very nice and knows his stuff. I’m going to get in trouble with the Mrs because of this place.
Best place to get your vintage video games or any of your vintage video game needs!! They also have newer video games and sometimes the systems as well but mostly centered around vintage everything from Sega Nintendo and on
Great owner, awesome selection, stroller prices
The store layout was nice and had a very good selection I will definitely be coming here for future purchases !
I went into minus world recently for the first time and I walked away very excited to have found the place. I needed some games for my new Dreamcast (which isn’t easy to collect for). I found some great games and also found myself having to restrain myself from buying everything. They have a myriad of classic consoles and games in great condition. Just walking through the store was like walking down memory lane. I definitely will be going back, the owner is very kind as well! Thank you for the great game hunting experience. See you soon.
Awesome awesome awesome! How did I not know this place was here! Tracy takes great pride in what he does and his store is fantastic. A huge variety of classic video games from the original Atari to current gen games. He cleans each game and then puts it in a plastic protective sleeve. Easily my new favorite video game store in the area.
Good selection of older games and some newer games. Very clean and well organized shop. The free retro arcade machines that you can play while shopping are also amazing. Definitely reccomend shopping here if you are looking for some retro fun.
Been looking for a specific ps2 game for awhile and this dude had it with the manual and everything! Probably the coolest retro game store I have found here locally. I will definitely be back when I have more money.
Very nice layout and atmosphere. They have 6 Arcade 1up machines with classic arcade cabinet games, a large selection of cartridges for older Nintendo products, and a solid collection of Playstation and Xbox items, consoles, and accessories. The only issue I had was some of the Wii controllers, while at a great price, didnt seem to be very clean, otherwise, a great store to stop by and kill some time, and pick up some nostalgic games at good prices.
Its like stepping back into the golden age of gaming. Great selection of retro-current console/games. They also have a request list where if its not there now it will send you a text when it gets in stock. Definitely a hidden gem and well worth a look.
They have an amazing selection of games, and video game vinyls. Also great customer experience
Sure made two new customers. Clean, friendly and knowledgeable.
Excellent customer service fair prices, and trade values. I recommend this retro game store to anyone😊
Has pretty much anything youre looking for, and the owner is super knowledgeable and fair in price.
I love it here. It makes me feel like I am back in the early 2000s when I go in. The arcade in the entrance is a nice touch and the amount of old and new video games are phenomenal. Prices are very fair. Bought a PS2 and the controller was missing a pin. Contacted them and within 10 minutes the owner responded and said he will replace it for free.
Stopped in yesterday looking for a gift. They didnt have what I was looking for but they offered suggestions of where to look. My kids loved the free arcade in the entry and all video game decor. It is a fun little shop. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for games and equipment for older consoles.
Amazing store. They have great service and a huge variety of games and consoles
Awesome store and the man in charge was SUPER helpful! So many memories! Will definitely be returning!
Large selection of classic games and consoles. Highly recommend if anybody is looking into collecting or just playing retro games.
This store is easily the best retro and used video game store in Northern Utah. They have an amazing selection and everything they sell is in great condition. All the products are backed by a great return policy (if it stops working within 30 days you can return it) and the owner is really friendly and will help you to find what you are looking for. The prices are really reasonable for these kind of stores and you will get the best value by shopping here as opposed to most other places. I live an hour and a half away and will only go here from now on for my retro gaming needs. This store is wonderful and fun and I hope they are able to have tons of success in the future!
Such a great store! They have a large variety of games, consoles and accessories. I saw consoles for sale that I had never seen in any other local game store, let alone at the same time. Everything is individually packaged and has a level of quality, while pricing is equally fair. Whether you’re looking at finding a game and reliving your childhood, or finding games to build your collection, this place is perfect.
Great game store! The owner is always friendly and answers any questions I may have. Great selection of retro games to fill all my nostalgic needs haha. He even fixed my N64 controller on the spot for me while I waited.
Probably the most diversified inventory I’ve ever seen in a retro game store. New inventory constantly coming in which brings even more diversity each visit and encourages me to visit more often. Tracy is great at updating new inventory on the store’s Facebook page. He is also extremely knowledgeable and an expert in this hobby with well over 20 years of experience. Not only that, he has a passion for this hobby and can relate with any customer that comes through the door!
Love the new location
Nice selection of old games. Good location close to the parkway.
Great selection and helpful friendly staff.
Really cute little game shop. Makes me feel like Im in the 80s or 90s when I go in there. Very fun to see all the old games i used to play
Excellent customer service
Very nostalgic! Brings back memories from growing up with the first gaming consoles. The owner, Im assuming, was very friendly and informative. They even have some free to play arcade and consoles set up. If youre looking for a trip down memory lane to take home to show the kids what a real video game is then look no further.
Great selection of retro games. Friendly staff, good prices.
I drove for about 45 minutes to get to this specific store cause they were the only one I could find that had an n64 game I wanted. I was not disappointed. Ended up leaving with additional controllers (all in surprisingly good conditions) and with a list of what I want to go back for. Suuuuper stoked on this place!
Great service. Awesome games. Should definitely check it out.
Small store with an impressive collection of retro gaming hardware and software. Clean with friendly staff. Definitely worth a stop if you are passing by on the freeway.
They really know their Stuff! Not only did they help me find what I was looking for but offered additional directions to look. They even have vinyl recordings for several favorite soundtracks. Plus they have great classic games to play there on old fashioned arcades!
(DISCLAIMER: This is the same review I wrote before, however I wrote it on my wrong account)This store is amazing! The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, their selection is very impressive, and their prices are very reasonable. I have an app that gives the going rate of retro games, and their prices were just a few bucks higher (which I expect from a store so they can make profit).I live in Salt Lake City, and I am willing to drive 45 minutes to get to this store, and there is a retro game store about 2 minutes away from my house. To give an example of their great prices, the retro shop near my house (which will remain nameless) is selling a copy of Metroid on NES for $34.99, however, Minus World sold it to me for $13.99.It is also impressive how much inventory they are able to fit in such a small shop. There is a lot of merchandise for sale, and the store doesnt feel cluttered or cramped. Theyre even able to fit in several 1up arcade cabinets that you can play for free.This is a must for any gamer (current or retro, hardcore or casual). Great service, great prices, great selection. A+
Tracy has a great selection of retro video games and if he doesnt have it hell find it for you. Plus there are arcade games for friends or family to play while you shop. Definitely worth a trip, or several.
Awesome and friendly staff, great prices, and has a nice selection!
This place was fantastic, great customer service and felt really welcomed.
This place was amazing had a lot of older games and consoles, brought back a lot of good memories for my childhood will definitely be going back there and recommending them for people who are looking for cool gifts!
Im scared to share because this place is so awesome everyone will be coming here. Every console, controller, game, jusr amazing Tracy is awesome. This is my new favorite place.
Ive should have written this review earlier but now is better than never!Do you ever wish you could go back in time to the good old days when games were hard and fun to play? Well now you can because this store has it all. From NES to Genesis and even Dreamcast, Tracy has it all and will even do repairs! There hasnt been such an amazing game store like this in Utah and Im glad I get to live so close to it.Tracy, keep up the Lords work and dont ever stop selling amazing retro games.
Great place with a wide variety of options has tons of old school systems.
Great store! Found exactly the GameCube game I wanted with fantastic service and great prices.
Awesome staff, HUGE selection of games and other pertinent gaming equipment. This is the place to if you game.gamer
They have a great selection. Most games were pre owned but when they dont work they are quick to swap them out for ones that do. Have to bring cash or ill spend my whole paycheck there!
Ive been to tons of game stores on the Wasatch Front and none of them compare to Minus World. Gone are the days of smelly, dark, and unwelcoming game stores.Minus World is everything other game stores lack. Clean, bright, and chock full of any game or system you can imagine. The Dreamcast selection is enough to keep my and my friends talking. Tracy is knowledgeable and friendly, he even keeps updates on what comes into the shop on Instagram so we always know whats new.If you like retro or even newer games, come to Minus World and let Tracy hook you up. You wont regret it.
Has to be one of the best retro stores in Utah very organized and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly great experience!!!
Im usually hesitant on going to game stores because I feel like they are usually outrageously priced but they had a great selection of items at a great price. I walked in for 1 item and walked out with several that I have been looking for a decent deal on. I would highly recommend making the trip if your looking for anything videogame related.
Spotless store, very well organised displays, very helpful. I would Always go to Minus World.1st when looking for retro video games.
Great shop. Owner is friendly and fair with his prices. Large inventory on many older game systems.
The store was clean organized, and reasonably priced. They also had an impressive selection, if you like games come here.
Great boutique store for vintage games. He has a decent selection of NES, SNES, and other console games. He also does repairs- he switched out my NES cartridge reader on the spot, took less than 10 minutes. Great prices, especially for some of the older stuff. Highly recommend if youre looking for vintage games.
Great prices, good selection, along with an owner who is both friendly and really knowledgeable. Couldnt recommend Minus World enough.
Great store and friendly . good prices
Stopped in there today. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable unlike big corporate run shops like gamestop. Have an amazing selection and really good prices even beating out Ebay on many of the items I looked at. Wish there were more locally run shops like this in Saltlake! I will be sending everyone in the retro community up here from now on.
Great place for all your retro gaming needs!
Great place to buy video games and it is always clean and organized and the owner is awesome
This is a great store with a huge selection and variety of systems and games. The owners is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Fantastic store with an incredible selection on any system and awesome prices.

Great selection of retro games, as well as decent prices on everything.
Great service, Cheap prices on thing that other stores would be really expensive. In my opinion better alternative to gamestop for used games and accessories.
Great prices, great retro games!
This is the best Game Store in all of Utah!
