🎮 1Up Games Needs Your Help! 🎮

We’re trying to track down more of these old school Blockbuster shelving units like the ones pictured in this post. The one pictured is actual 5 units. They were used to store VHS tapes and DVDs in Blockbuster stores back in the day.

As luck would have it they are perfect for storing just about all types of video games from NES cartridges to all disc based games in their cases.

These shelves are a huge part of the behind the scenes workings of 1Up Games as we use them to keep back-stock organized. Now that these are stuffed to the brim we have stacks upon stack of games that desperately need a home to be organized and at the ready. We would absolutely love to add another one (or a few more) if we can find them.

So we’re turning to the 1Up Games community for help!

👉 If you, a friend, a family member, or a business you know might have one of these shelves sitting in storage, a basement, a garage, or an old store space, please let us know.

We would definitely be interested in buying one or possibly even working out a trade.

💬 Tag someone who might know where one is.
🔄 Share this post so we can reach more people.

You guys have helped us track down some amazing things in the past, and we truly appreciate the support from the 1Up Games family.

Thank you for helping us keep the nostalgia alive!

We are open today (Sunday) until 6pm

We pay CA$H for games, consoles, accessories and collectibles! Trades are always welcome!

Sorry for the delay in posting — it’s been a long, exhausting week. But I’m going to do my best to get back to posting consistently again.

This past weekend David wrapped up his 3rd (and final) District Championship and as a dad I couldn’t be more proud of the work he’s put in all season.

Here’s how he finished in his individual events:

🥇 100 Yard Breaststroke — 1st Place
⏱ 1:01.21 (+0.67)

🥇 400 Yard Individual Medley — 1st Place
⏱ 4:27.16 (dropped 3.53 seconds)

🏅 100 Yard Butterfly — 4th Place
⏱ 55.73 (+1.42)

🥈 200 Yard Individual Medley — 2nd Place
⏱ 2:00.98 (dropped 6.46 seconds)

🥇 200 Yard Breaststroke — 1st Place
⏱ 2:19.31 (+2.46)

Swimming, like most activities, is a sport where the results only tell part of the story. What most people don’t see are the early mornings, the late practices, the endless laps, and the commitment it takes day after day.

I want to congratulate David, his teammates, and every single swimmer who competed at Districts this year. The dedication it takes just to qualify for this meet is an achievement in itself, and every athlete there earned their place.

Next up… the 2026 Pennsylvania State Championship.

Time to get back to work. 💪🏊‍♂️

And for our friends and customers — 1Up Games will be open our normal business hours all weekend! Stop in, say hello, and scoop up some new games while you’re here. 🎮

If you see David around, make sure to wish him luck at States!

📣 Store Hours Update – Please Read! 🎮

We WILL be open today, Thursday March 5, from 12 PM – 6 PM at 1Up Games!

However, due to the YMCA District Championship Meet this weekend, we will be closed for the remainder of the weekend as we cheer on David and his teammates and celebrate some exciting swimming accomplishments 🏊‍♂️💪

📅 We will reopen next Thursday, March 12, during our regular hours.

Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding. We truly appreciate our amazing customers and can’t wait to see you when we’re back!

Wish our swimmers luck this weekend! 🙌

Quick update & proud dad moment 💙🏊‍♂️

I owe everyone an apology for this past Sunday. I genuinely thought we were going to be open, but I made a mistake in the schedule.

We ended up being closed because it was the Championship for David’s second team — the C*C Sea Lions — and it turned out to be another amazing day!

David and his teammates kicked things off with the 200-yard medley relay, taking 1st place and bringing home the 🥇 gold.

Next, David swam the 200-yard individual medley, taking 1st place 🥇 gold with a time of 2:01.3, dropping 0.80 seconds in the IM — huge swim.

Then he jumped into the 100-yard backstroke, a stroke he doesn’t normally race, and took 2nd place🥈with a time of 59.21, dropping a full 1 second. Shoutout to his teammate and friend Spencer, who won that race — this kid is an absolute beast in backstroke!

To finish it all off, with event 80, the literal last event of the day, David and his teammates swam the 200-yard freestyle relay, and despite adding .75 seconds to their time, they still managed a 1st place finish 🏅

— one very proud dad over here. 💪

Thanks for your understanding with the closure, and thanks for always supporting our family and the shop.

The month of March is going to be rough with the upcoming YMCA District Championship (his 3rd swim team) the WVW State Championship, the YMCA State Championship and finally the YMCA Nationals.

While David has competed very successfully in several State Championships, this year will be his first appearance at Nationals. However, after all of that, 1Up Games will finally return to our regular business. Thank you for
Your patience.
