DreamQuest Games

DreamQuest Games is a video game store in the Poulsbo Village shopping center in Poulsbo, Washington, built mostly around retro and console games, with Pokémon the one card game it carries. It suits retro gamers who want repairs, cartridge and disc restoration, and a place to trade, and it will interest Pokémon players who also want their old save batteries replaced.

What's on the shelves

The store sells video games from every generation, from Intellivision and Atari 2600 through Game Gear and 3DS to Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S. Pokémon is the card game carried alongside them. A small selection of arcade games and demo stations sits in the shop for anyone killing time.

The store buys video games and related items, paying cash or a higher amount in store credit. Trades are first come, first served with no appointment needed. Staff appraise trades on current market value, condition, completeness and demand, and anyone bringing a large lot should arrive at least an hour before closing.

Repairs and restoration

The service side is what sets the store apart from a typical card shop:

• Save battery replacement for consoles and individual cartridges, handy when a classic Pokémon game stops saving.
• Disc resurfacing for games, movies and music CDs, including GameCube discs, for a few dollars a disc.
• Cartridge cleaning to keep older games running reliably.
• Basic maintenance and retro repairs, such as Super NES power jacks, worn N64 control sticks and sticky Game Boy buttons. Repairs depend on the staff's skills, so it pays to ask about a specific problem; when the store cannot do a job, it points customers toward someone who can.
• Console modifications, including backlit Game Boys, RGB amplifiers, rechargeable batteries and replacement shells.

The store does not install mod chips or optical drive emulators, does not offer soft modding, and does not sell bootlegs or unlicensed reproductions.

Store policies

Items can be put on hold or reserved by phone, including anything new that has just hit the shelf. Online shopping with delivery or in-store pickup is planned but not yet available, and there is no date for it.

The store also offers its floor as a safe place to meet for an online marketplace trade or sale. Staff can help test and authenticate the items, and security and cameras are on site.

Hours and getting there

Since April 20, 2026, the store has kept shorter, steadier hours. Whether they stay is open: the change may last only through the warm season or become permanent.

The store is at 19425 7th Ave NE, Suite 117, between Rite Aid and Cut It Again, Sam, with easy access from Highway 305 and Liberty Road, and a laundry next door.
