The Game Gallery, offering arcade entertainment and a retail store where individuals can buy, sell or trade new and gently used video games, consoles, collectibles and more, is planning to move to a larger space at 60 Centre Square in downtown Easton by the end of March. THEY ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN!

The owner, Angel Correa, established The Game Gallery in 2012, originally operating the business at 249 Northampton St. in downtown Easton before moving operations later that year to a larger, nearby space at 315 Northampton St. The Game Gallery operated at 315 Northampton St. for more than a decade before Correa decided to relocate the business again in 2023 to 349 Northampton St., about a block west of its longstanding spot. The 2023 move was primarily due to increasing rent. At its former Northampton Street location, The Game Gallery featured a back room where customers could play dozens of arcade games, but its new Northampton Street space did not allow for that.
The 349 Northampton St. site previously housed restaurants, including Gino’s Pizza and, most recently, HOZA African Restaurant, and a full kitchen remains. The roughly 250 arcade machines have been in storage for the past two years, and Correa’s been looking for a new venue that could accommodate both the expansive arcade entertainment as well as The Game Gallery’s growing retail component. The new space is around 5,000 square feet, giving us room to expand our video game selection and other merchandise, but the big thing is that we can finally bring back our arcade machines. So many people, including myself, have missed the arcade, and it’s coming back bigger and better than ever. Individuals can get the latest updates, including an official opening announcement for the new Game Gallery location, by following the business’ pages on Facebook and Instagram. At its new location, The Game Gallery will be able to feature more than 200 arcade cabinets, 16 pinball machines and nine Japanese-style, sit-down machines, dubbed “candy cabinets."
In-demand arcade cabinets include X-Men, The Simpsons, Street Fighter II and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while popular pinball machines include Dr. Dude, The X-Files, Police Force and Dungeons & Dragons. Also including quintessential games like Super Mario Bros., Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Popeye, but also having some more rare games like R-Type. Dance Dance Revolution game is also hugely popular. The arcade, which will feature retro design elements paying homage to the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, also will include other popular arcade games like air hockey, Skee-ball and a claw machine. Guests will be able to play whatever coin-operated games they want, paying for each one individually—50 cents for arcade cabinets and $1 for pinball machines.
In addition to playing games, individuals will be able to shop for hundreds of video games and video game consoles, including Nintendo, Game Boy and Sega Dreamcast. The business also offers cash or store credit to individuals looking to unload their games, consoles and other items. The Game Gallery also carries a wide array of video game accessories, action figures, toys, comics, graphic novels, collectibles and movies and television shows on DVD. At the new location, individuals also will be able to shop for vinyl records, VHS tapes and trading card games such as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering. The new location has a loft area, and they plan to host events like card game tournaments, video game fighting tournaments, birthdays, private events, and more.
