Pink Gorilla Games University District

Pink Gorilla in the U District is a Seattle treasure. This is hands-down the best spot for retro games, import titles, and just soaking in genuine gamer culture. Walking in feels like a blast from the past in the best way possible. ​The selection is incredible—they have everything from classic NES and SNES cartridges to rare Japanese imports for systems you've barely heard of. It's not just a store; it's a museum where you can actually buy the exhibits. The staff are always super knowledgeable and friendly, not gate-keepy at all, just fellow enthusiasts who are happy to chat about games or help you find that one specific title you've been hunting for. ​Whether you're a hardcore collector or just feeling nostalgic for your childhood, you have to check them out.
