All About Fun, Games and Collectibles

Fun place to got to love the environment and Friday night magic and yugioh is a blast I love the retro feel of it as well.

All About Fun and Games is a shining gem in the cesspool that is the North County used game market. It’s well laid out, spacious (for a game shop in SD County) and the staff are great. Every time I’ve come in, Eric is happy to talk about obscure and retro games with me. You can tell these guys not only know their stuff, but like running the store. But what really sets this place apart is that they offer repairs! And I’m not talking solely current gen stuff. After looking all over the place for a shop that would buff old game discs, these guys did it without hesitation, and for next to nothing. Eric even tested the games on a console he had hooked up in the store. That’s customer service you just won’t get at other retro game stores. I also really appreciate that these guys actually care about their customer base. I love that they’ve got consoles in the store (I’ve heard Smash Bros is popular here) because it so wonderfully demonstrates the vibe of the store. The folks who run this place aren’t here solely to make a sale or push the newest games or consoles on you… you’re here to enjoy yourself and that’s what gaming is supposed to be about.

Having had bad experiences with other small video game stores in northern San Diego county, I was surprised by the great reviews I read on Unilocal about All About Fun Games and Collectibles. As I had some cartridges I was looking to trade, I decided to give it a shot on my way to grad school.
I was warmly greeted by the shop’s proprietor, Eric, as he introduced himself. He was chatting with some other customers and friends who were playing Magic the Gathering at a table in the center of the store; but as Magic isn’t my thing, I stepped up to the counter and was pleasantly surprised by the selection of vintage game cartridges on display.
Eric gave me extremely fair prices for my trades, even sharing nostalgic stories and recollections about some of them. I then proceeded to the SNES and Genesis carts and found exactly what I was looking for, at prices that were HALF of what I was finding elsewhere!
I could not have had a better experience trading vintage video game cartridges and sharing memories. Eric’s attention to detail and kind demeanor reflect impeccably upon his shop, and you can be SURE that when I need to trade again, it will be here first! I can’t give a better recommendation!

This old school video game shop is awesome! They have great selection of classic video games. For example I just picked up Resident Evil 2 for the PS1 for 25 $, which is way cheaper then Ebay prices. The staff is very friendly and they definitely know a lot about gaming. Another big plus is they sell Magic the Gathering cards. This place is way better then Game Adx of Oceanside. I will definitely be coming back to pick more games at this shop again.

Love this place Erick aways ready help and knows his games. And if he doesn’t have the game u want he can Oder it for u as well

I have known the owners and their family since the 5^th grade. We grew up together playing platform/​pc games & Magic the Gathering at each others houses; staying up all night was not uncommon. Those were them good ol’ days. Take that same nostalgic feeling and apply it to a business and now you have something really magical. Highly recommended.

I don’t know how to feel right now. I just found Super Mario 64 for $ 25 dollars and Mario Kart 64 for $ 45. I almost lost my mind seeing their prices on their Nintendo 64 games. In Oceanside, Super Mario 64 2 as $ 65 at one store and $ 85 at another store. As you can tell, that’s why I almost lost my mind. The guys in here are so friendly and willing to help. This place is such a hidden gem. If you go here to pick up your retro systems or games, you will not regret it.

I’ve been to a lot of small video game stores in San Diego county. Most of the ones that offer retro games are disappointing and/​or overpriced to say the least.
These guys have a good inventory of games (both vintage and new) across many platforms at fair, reasonable prices.
For my initial visit, I was greeted by Eric, one of the owners. He was informative, knowledgeable, and his customer service is top notch.
This is my go to store for all retro games and new releases!

I like this store a lot and it’s in a fantastic location! But first a short anecdote:
Came by to check out Friday night magic, and a small gathering showed. Great casual scene which was exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully they’ll start doing some small tournaments but I’ll be coning back every week regardless.
Now about the store:
The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable about anything related to pricing, stock, and demand for video games, their consoles, and other competitive games. Whether you need an old game out of print or just a magic booster to get you through the week this place has it all!
