Retrograde Gaming and Collectibles

★★★★★

“Super cool small retro shop in the Pittsburgh area more or less. Was a bit difficult to find cos I am from Toronto but we got there in the end. The guy inside greeted us with a friendly hello and left us to browse, interacting with us randomly with friendly banter. Realistic prices not eBay prices. Found a game that's rare to find in Canada for PS2 for cheap. Also bought a Saturn arcade stick. Pretty good selection he is rebuilding after the Rona closure. But once he is up and running again this will be an amazing retro spot in the US. Retro fans visit this place.”

“Awesome shop, super friendly staff. Picked up a steam deck, Pokémon cards and a couple board games. Worth the trip if you haven't been before.”

“Phenomenal local game store with a great well-curated selection of video games and table top games! The owner Alex is one of the most genuine, honest, down-to-earth people you will ever meet and is always happy to chat about any and all things gaming. This is clearly a place run by someone who genuinely loves games. They also do so much to support the local gaming culture through things like having big tables out where folks can sit down and play a board game, hosting monthly fighting game tournaments, and everything in between. If you're anywhere in the Pittsburgh/Monroeville area and you love board games and/or video games, you owe it to yourself to check out Retrograde Collectibles!”

“Alex and everyone at Retrograde are genuine down to earth great human beings. The shop is obviously amazing. Lots of great retro games and other retro items at very fair prices. Anyone looking to scratch that nostalgia itch or rebuild their old game collection will find something they like at Retrograde. What sets Alex and company apart is they are just good honest nice people. Always willing to chat about stuff and answer any questions you have. This is what separates them from other larger/corporate retro places. They aren't a faceless corporation and they stand behind everything they sell. Highly recommend stopping in if you are anywhere near the Monroeville or greater Pittsburgh area. You won't be disappointed and even if you don't find something you want (unlikely) you will get to chat about games and other stuff with like minded people. This is the type of small/local business that needs and deserves support.”
