Super friendly owners, always happy to have a little chat, always happy to help! Prices on games, old and new, are incredible and knock any competitors in the area out of the park. It truly feels as though the owners are passionate about gaming, rather than souly trying to make as much profit as possible.
Very charming place! We spoke with the owners and they showed us around the gaming room which is great for those who don't have retro consoles at home. They were cool enough to sell me a copy from their game room Sega Genesis collection since they didn't have it in stock. I came back and had my old Game Gear repaired for far cheaper than I expected; oldie but still goodie! Highly recommended!
Cleaning I found my Old Xbox 360 and the power block went bad. I wanted to see if my last save on Skyrim was still on it. The owners were so friendly and helpful providing me a power block that worked and batteries for my controller to miraculously find Skyrim still downloaded and my 100 hour save file! If you have any gaming needs you need to check this place out, the service, help, and knowledge is fantastic! 5 stars!
Awesome place for retro gaming stuff and repairs; they also have a cool little arcade area with a Simpsons machine!
Wonderful experience! I had no problems dropping off my PlayStation 4, during an all day gaming tournament! I was quoted a reasonable price for an HDMI port repair of 120$ plus tax, which compared with elsewhere in Omaha. This was the best price I'd been able to find. Owner was absolutely amazing and courteous as could be. He gave me a timeline of when to expect it back by and told me that he would be in touch when it was finished. The other part that really makes me appreciate coming here, is that if any o
Feiendly staff and owner. Always inviting us to events and activities whenever we are there. Wish the best for them and their store
We held a birthday party here over the past weekend and could not be happier with our experience! The owners were supportive, enthusiastic, and so friendly and capable in helping the kids get set up with their games and helping them find something they would enjoy. Birthday kiddo declared that all future birthday parties will be at Gamer's Oasis! This was one of the easiest party organizing and management experiences I have had yet. Incredible service and the amount of games (and knowledge) available is inc
Very helpful group of people here. They didn't have what I was looking for, so they directed me to a place that might have it.
Out of the Omaha area, this is best store by far! Great Prices, and friendly people!
The best game shop in Omaha. Great service, the owners seem to really love their work and 100% know their stuff. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Check it out if you are in the area!
The best place to play old school and new school games super awesome here.??
I was given a PS2 that belonged to a friends roommate and it sat in a box forever with a collection of cords and cables. Having not played a PS2 in like 15 years I didn't know if I even had what I needed to make it play. I took the dusty unit and the tangle of cords to The Gamers Oasis and asked for help with it. I was having some friends over the next day and thought it would be fun to break out and play. The owners at The Gamers Oasis were delighted to verify it was working and explained what cords I woul
Had my son's birthday party here today. Super friendly staff, kids had a wonderful time! Play games on every system new and retro! Kids had a blast. Great value! Great place to have a party! Best value to support a local Business!
We had the best experience here. The owners are super nice, and very helpful. We brought some games in to sell, and they offered us a more than fair price. We will definitely be back!
Absolutely loved this place! My boyfriend and I travel around the country and look for small business game stores holding a great collection on older Nintendo DS Lite, Gameboy Advance, and PS2 games. I can happily say this is one of the best stores we've been into and left with a bag full of games! We loved chatting with the owner and he helped us out with a few of our questions. Very happy to support this small business and would definitely come back whenever we are back in town. ALSO, so awesome that they
I work at a library and we were looking for equipment and games for the original Wii. My kids told me to come here because the stock is great and the service is excellent. They were right. Gary is a wonderful human and a delight to work with. Ever since my visit I've recommended the store to everyone who is looking for anything "gaming" related.
Stopped by yesterday with my boyfriend, great selection of games and other things, THEY HAVE BOXES! Picked up a Perfect Dark 64 Box in solid condition for an amazing price, great place, comfy atmosphere, great folks running a great store!
Very cool, new-age style arcade. Lots of space, tons of games to play, and very affordable prices for play time. Tried out their PSVR, and had a blast. I'm excited to come back to try different games on all the consoles they had set up. Gary was super welcoming, and very friendly during the visit. Definitely a great spot to try out the new games before you buy, or old stuff you can't find. Give them a stop!
My wife, kids and myself stopped in here tonight for the first time. The owners were AWESOME people. Very friendly and helpful unlike other local game stores. Bought a couple vintage cartridges that's were priced right. They even let my two kids play downstairs for 20/30 minutes without charging. Very clean, well organized store
Fantastic. Very helpful, friendly, and personable staff. Excellent selection of favorite games and consoles. My only choice for retro games.
The Gamers Oasis is hands down one of my favorite video game stores in Omaha. I'm only in Omaha about once or twice a year but I always make a point to stop by and see that they have. The Gamers Oasis has a great selection of games and isn't over burdened with 70 copies of Madden so shopping there is always a lot of fun. Far and away the best part of the store is the owners. Every time I pop by they are always super friendly and knowledgeable about everything in their store and are happy to have a fun conve
We had The Gamers Oasis set up gaming for our wedding reception this month. The presentation was above and beyond! All the games we requested were available along with a few others if our guests wanted to switch things up. The owners are very friendly and have an amazing shop if you are looking for an arcade-like experience or to purchase some videogames for your own consoles. We greatly appreciate everything they did for our wedding and would not hesitate to hire them again for events down the road. Thank
I was at The Down Under Lounge last night for a Street Fighter Tournament hosted by the owners of The Gamers Oasis and had a blast! The owners were very friendly and the tournament really brought me back to the 90's again! Thanks again for being such great hosts and i will be visiting the store soon!
Great new addition to Omaha?s gaming scene! Owners were nice to talk shop with and share gaming knowledge with! Prices are reasonable. I am excited to see tournaments and other gaming events being hosted there. I think it would be a great way to spend an afternoon even if I was just spectating.
I've come here to buy and trade in games a few times now and have walked out very happy every time. Their prices are very good and they offer good values for trade ins (they accept trade ins for cash on tuesdays). I've really enjoyed the conversations I've had with the owners too. I highly recommend The Gamers Oasis for anyone looking to buy, sell, or play video games in Omaha!
Was originally looking for just a remote to play on my og Xbox and ended up leaving with a PS2, remote, and ton of games. They're really nice and very knowledgeable about what they're selling.
This is a great game store. They have most systems set up to play. At $10 an hour you can try new games or play some retro systems. I think it would be a great way to try a game or a system. The owners are super friendly and they are very knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions. You can also trade in or sell old games. A great place for birthday parties or have a few hours of fun.
Take your trade in?s here. Gary gave me fantastic value well above a couple other stores I contacted. He was super nice, had a great time chatting up games with him not feeling like im on an episode of pawn stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
A nice game store that also is a place where people can come and play games as well. Very friendly people that run this place. Found a nice copy of Bomberman Quest as well for a reasonable price.
New video game store that has classic and modern games for sale but what makes them stand out is that you can pay by the hour any classic system which they have set up with comfortable seating, they even have a vr setup available to play. Also they sell drinks at a better price than you can get them at a convenience store. My son also went to a smash brothers tournament here on friday night which they hold every week he said it was a great time
Hands-down the best gaming store in Omaha! Matter of fact in Nebraska!!! I remember about four years ago I had bought a PS4 controller there and the customer service was excellent. I just stopped in about a month ago spoke to both of the owners and it was nothing short of an awesome experience!!
The staff were very nice and my son purchased a new gameboy. We are going to go back tomorrow to try to find some games.
Have worked with Gary on a number of occasions - not only does Gamer's Oasis have a considerable variety of games across all the major consoles through the years but also the products are in great condition. He is very helpful re: making sure you have the right accessories to bring your old console life. Have purchased multiple games for the NES, SNES, & Sega Dreamcast as well as an AV to HDMI converter. Outside of the product offerings, Gamer's Oasis has a great space for gaming so if you don't have a con
One of the nicest places to shop. Gary is kind and reasonable. Fixed my 8-bit NES when others in town did not have the parts. Awesome service!
Loved stopping in here! The people were super friendly and informative. The have games to sell but also have an arcade set up! Will definitely check out again if we are ever back in the area!!!!
I never noticed this store in the past, but when I did recently I came here for a very rare game that's sold for too much online ? no harm in trying to find it locally. Sadly, there was no copy. But the owner was still very friendly, helpful, and kind and took my information to let me know if it ever comes in stock in the future. I would come back here to browse again knowing the staff will go the extra mile.
Scheduled a Bachelor Party of 14 for 3 hours. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a lot of fun playing classic video games from our youth!
Went into there looking for nintendo switch steering wheel controllers, and he had them! I got a red and blue one, for $10. I'm assuming the owner, was very friendly and helpful! Will return for sure! Also he had surge for sale too :)
Found a good copy of Mario party 7 for the GameCube here. The owner was super nice and chatted with me for a little bit. It's a really nice store with tons of consoles to play and even some snacks available for purchase.
The best variety of games and consoles I have ever seen in the country! They even had replacement batteries which we needed desperately. If you ever need anything they sure got it!
Friendly and had a good selection of games, and accessories. Definitely will be added to the rotation for hunting for games of the past.
Definitely recommend this place the owners are super nice, prices are reasonable they have tv?s set up so you can play video games they also sell old school video games. They have something for everyone
My boyfriend and I went in today and bought a controller. The customer service was great to say the least. The prices were great and I can tell you that if we weren't from out of state we would be there all the time. Can't wait to go back.
Very helpful and professional! Highly recommend for tech support! I also heard they can host gaming parties! Awesome!
Great place for a birthday party! They had every game we wanted and the staff was amazing! All the kids and adults had a blast.
This a not only a shop to buy video games but a new age arcade with thousands of games! Me and my friends went there for two hours one day one hour today it's a bunch of fun the staff is very nice and helpful 10/10 would recommend
This is great place to find games or rent out for an event. The staff are pleasant and knowledgeable
Awesome people and amazing selection. Definitely a place to check out for cards and games!
Stopped in to check the place out and was really impressed with the consoles, variety of games, setup and the extremely helpful and nice staff. I will definitely be back to play some old school Atari games and finally try out a VR setup.
Great place, great games! Lots of fun. I love you Gary.
Great place to come and hangout and relax! Huge selection of games in their play area. Also a great place to bring the family and do a family night too!
Great selection. Clean and organized place. Awesome staff. Hosts good events. Really all you need to be a gamer
I think this spot has a lot of potential I hope to see more of this Arcade/Game store in future. You can book gameplay by the hour and has a selection games to choose from that is growing
My boys love the basement with vintage games! You cant be a well rounded gamer unless you've played E.T. on a CRT TV with an Atari.
Great selection of games, a nice little game store!
Awesome video game boutique. They have VR and a great selection of older games. Downstairs has everything from atari to ps1.
Perhaps the best customer service I have ever experienced in my life. they went above and beyond to help me find an item I have been looking for. I highly recommend doing business with them.
Great mom and pop used game store, owners are very friendly and prices are reasonable.
Went here for the 1st ever today and man does this place give you the vibes you need to feel when going into a game store, awesome experience
Very personable staff and great selection of games and game accessories.
Absolutely love this place. They have many systems available to play on, and prices are reasonable. Always a good time.
Wonderful place for parties and great for those wishing to play nostalgic games without spending huge amounts on old consoles.
Kind staff! What a fun place! Excited to come back!!
very friendly staff and amazing game collection, 100% worth your time
I've had the pleasure of visiting this place a few times and every time is a great experience. You're in for a nostalgic time here.
I come here very often. Best prices in town, very friendly. 10/10

High recommend checking this place out! A hidden treasure, you'll be wonderfully surprised.
This place is super cool and a great place to hang out with friends!
Friendly and priced well. Have recommended to friends.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
