Truly a Retro Game Store. Excellent selection of some truly unique items; let me put it this way: if you grew up gaming in the 80s and 90s, this store is vibe AF🧐😁πŸ’₯Great selection and fair prices; I do not understand why Chattanooga does not have a Retro Game Store; PROPS ClevelandπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks to everyone at Blasted Machines for being friendly and helpful. I went in to get some game discs resurfaced and they did a great job with them. Local game stores are closing down everywhere, pandemic or not, so make sure to support Blasted Machines with your business because they deserve it.Its also worth noting that their employees take health and safety seriously. They all wear masks and have provided hand sanitizer.Thanks again.

BAD service! I was there for 15 minutes or longer and no one acknowledged my existence. Not cool. Not going back. I was planning on buying too, so they totally lost business bc of their negligent service. Also, if youre following Covid19 protective guidelines you should definitely avoid this business as they were not following them.

These guys know more about games than I will know about anything in my life, and its awesome. Prices are competitive and reasonable if you know what to expect. Well worth the trip from Chattanooga to get your nostalgic gaming on. Great selection of games, consoles, and other assorted goods. My most recent purchase included an amazing Nintendo brand NES cartridge holder (with slots for two controllers and a zapper).

The staff are true gamers who love the old school gems many grew up with. They keep the best parts of history alive by sharing the knowledge they have with anyone who wants to learn. Comparing new vs old, remakes vs originals, Mario or Luigi, Guitar Hero or Rock Band.They have a broad selection of n64, sega, pokemon, dragonball z, pc games, accessories and collectibles you just dont see that often. Always fun to visit and see what you can find.

Review β„–54

Im not from Tennessee but was passing. I decided to give the place a browse and was not disappointed. This store has some jaw dropping collectors items that are super hard to find even on the internet. The owner was very sweet and super friendly. I ended buying a rare gameboy sp. Place is kind of small, but other than that it was a great time. Unfortunately, I was low on time so I had to hurry out. Will definitely stop by when I visit Florida again :)
