Customer Reviews

My most favorite part is the Smash Saturdays tournament. I actually do have fun with players, especially when I lose or win. I tried not to be so salty when losing, but it's just a flicking game. Like, I thought I was professional until the other players were way more professional than me. ?? Well, I only won 1st place twice, so all that matters to me. ?? (I place Sora's face on my face because I don't want my actual face to reveal outside of the town.)

This place is amazing for kids and us kids at heart. A gaming lounge with thousands of games. (Priced so anyone can afford to play.) Lots of collectibles, cards, unique items and exotic snacks.

The owner, while a personal friend of mine, is absolutely a fair, laid back, knowledgeable, and overall a very man, and the vision he's made in this combination of a lounge, and a visually awe-inspiring collectibles shop, are a joy to visit every time you step foot in the building. Always keep an eye out for events like Smash Fridays, because a great community of people are always in tow. Highly recommend, if you're hesitant towards the shop, take a closer look, and you might something worth coming back for

Love this place! Smash bros Saturdays and specialty snacks, count me in! Plus an awesome arcade with lots of old school games arcade games, new systems and a great atmosphere. There's a lot of cute bags and pops vinyls. These guys are doing awesome work, I'm so thankful for more to do in the community!

If you're in the Willits-Ukiah area and are looking for something to do, I recommend the Common Collectibles & Gaming Lounge, it's great! They have all sorts of foreign snacks, loads of games from different generations of consoles, all sorts of comics and other franchise collectable items, plus events held on the weekends! I've gone to their Super Smash Bros Ultimate tournaments a few times, and it's genuinely fun to battle against each other. The duo battles are the best, but more often than not, there hav

Awesome staff, awesome atmosphere. Super cool and super fun place to visit, play games, and shop. They have an insanely vast selection of games to ????play, from retro to next-gen, plus all the cool new and old-school collectibles and toys you could imagine, I absolutely love this place! The owners is a very nice guy and welling to work with anyone that comes into his shop.

Super friendly staff with a wide array of collectibles. Went there looking for a present for my brother and they had a 90?s ninja turtle figure still in box for a great price. The arcade set up they have looks perfect for birthdays or weekends.

Awesome imported snacks, and some of the best company in the area. Great comic selection with all of the staples and tons of rarities.

The Game Lounge is really good, But what I feel is the best is there gaming tournaments, it's always fun on Saturdays. Good for every type of players.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
