Forgotten Freshness

I would give this place 10 stars if I could!
Located in the whitest place outside of the capital region, I never feel out of place upon entering this store! Lol. The staff is always friendly and they always go above and beyond for me! Discounts when you sign up for their rewards program on top of the owner always willing to do what he can for you. That’s how a business should be run.
I am lucky to have found FORGOTTEN FRESHNESS. I moved from the Bronx to the Capital Region 3 years ago and this is by far my favorite place not named Cheesecake Factory lol.
Great Jobs guys, you have a customer for life!

Best video game store ever. Specializes in rare and unique items. You can go in there and never know what goodies Frank might have behind the glass. Every game he that comes through his door is taken apart, cleaned and refurbished (if need be) and it shows, ive bought at least 100 video games from this guy and have never come home with a dud cart or an unplayable disc. The store reminds me of the shops from The Legend of Zelda series, y’know with all the essential items you need for your upcoming quest, the shop keeper’s animation cycle making you feel truly welcome, and if you got the dough you can buy a something real special you wont find anywhere else like bombchus or double hookshot or Radiant Silvergun. The only minor gripe is the location. its about a 35 minute drive from Albany. I usually make it an event when i go. load up the car with friends and used videogames and head north.

Forgotten Freshness is a shop that is easy to miss, but should never be missed (if you enjoy video games especially.) It may be a bit far out for Albany-​dwellers, but it’s a drive well worth taking if you are able to.
Upon entering, you will find a large selection of classic Nintendo games, as well as Sega, Super Nintendo, and PlayStation 1. There are also a lot of other retro game systems available as well as Magic the Gathering cards. At the time of writing this, the owner was still hosting MTG tournaments.
Overall pricing seemed fair, I paid $ 10 for a semi-​popular Nintendo game that I’ve seen listed for $ 15 at other retro game shops in the Capital Region.
