About Us

Hawthorne Game Exchange is a local retro gaming shop dedicated to keeping classic games accessible and affordable. Whether you're a lifelong collector, a nostalgic parent introducing your kids to the games you grew up on, or someone who just found a box of cartridges in the attic — you've come to the right place.

We specialize in games and hardware spanning the full retro era: Atari through the original Xbox, with a deep focus on the beloved 8-bit and 16-bit generations. Every item in the store has been tested and verified so you can buy with confidence.

We also buy and accept trade-ins, so your old collection can find a new home — and fund your next retro obsession.
