About Us
Dad's Nostalgia started as an idea shortly after my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child in 2024. Video games played a large part in my childhood, and I wanted to share them with our kiddo while also reliving them myself. The original intent of DNG was to stream my personal collection of retro games on Twitch and host giveaways of any extra copies I had picked up from purchasing lots, but that did not pan out. After doing some research, I decided to open a store and share retro games with other players and collectors!
Mission Statement
At Dad's Nostalgia Gaming, we provide a premium, yet affordable, experience for the retro gaming community. All of our "loose" games, both disc and cartridge, come in a high-quality protective case with either custom artwork or a reproduction factory insert printed on professional-quality paper. Games deserve to be protected and displayed proudly, and it is our mission to provide players and collectors with the means to do that!
Core Values:
-
Preservation with Purpose We believe every game is a piece of history. Our priority is ensuring that "loose" titles are given a second life in high-quality housing that protects them for years to come.
-
The "Shelf-Ready" Standard A game should look as good on your shelf as it does on your screen. We are committed to professional-grade inserts and durable cases so your collection always looks its best.
-
Accessibility for All Collectors Gaming is for everyone. We strive to balance premium presentation with affordable pricing, making it easier for both new hobbyists and veteran collectors to grow their libraries.
-
Authenticity & Transparency As collectors ourselves, we value honesty. Whether it’s custom artwork or a reproduction insert, we are always clear about what you’re getting so you can buy with confidence.
-
Community-First Connection Born from a desire to share the joy of gaming with the next generation, we treat every customer like a fellow player. We’re not just moving inventory; we’re sharing a passion.
