DK Oldies - Pokemon Puzzle League Review from Springfield, Missouri

I first bought pokemon puzzle league for n64 and pokemon puzzle challenge for game boy color and they both work great. Then I ordered a 3 in 1 ac adapter, daffy duck marvin missions snes, real monsters snes and Scooby doo missions snes. And they all worked besides Scooby doo. But besides that they have a selection still and mostly works. I give them a 7.5 out of 10. 8 if Scooby doo worked lol

A good company that went bad.

these guys was great but I fear after 6 years of going through them they sold out to be scam artist. I logged into DK oldies to se my purchases and it showed nothing ,almost as if they took my money and ran, then deleted my orders from my account. I will Monday contact them and then go to my bank and fill out a dispute of paper work to get my money refunded ....to make this story short they are fraud's. its sad I use to use them 2 years ago and they was a great company, but now they are looking to get in deep trouble buy laws that condemn people that cant keep doing there jobs and not stealing others.

No problems here

I recently purchased 3 games from dk, sega beavis and butthead, snes beavis and butthead, and zelda for nes. I placed the order at 8:30 ish Saturday night. I received all 3 games by the following wensday. All 3 were in the same box packaged separately in bubble wrap. Took them out all looked in pretty *** good condition (labels nice, games clean, plastic looks aged) considering these things were probably "kid owned" originally. But tested all 3, all 3 were great. I got worried reading reviews after I impulse bought waiting for my girlfriend to get ready to go out. But I had no problems, definitely buy again from them. "Like Anything Else . You always hear the bad news and seldom the good. People are quick to place blame but unlikely to praise. Take 1/2 to 3/4 of all bad reviews for anything as exaggerated. Although there are cases here and there. " ---some wise ***

Dk Oldies May not appear what they claim to be.

I purchases three games from them. Bad Dudes, Karnov, Spy Hunter. All threegames did not work. I was not mad at first because I thought Dk oldies was a professional business that resolves defective product issues. I WAS VERY WRONG! They are crooks that take your money and run. I called Rob one of the owners and he did absolutely nothing. I called him daily to resolve the matter and all he did was give me the run around. All I wanted was an exchange and they couldn't even do that. BUYER BEWARE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE CROOKS. YOU WILL REGRET IT! I am going to spread the word about Dk scam all over the internet to warn potential victims of these *** men.

I think that the lockout chip is causing this issue if you remove the lockout chip from the front loader NES console it works fine then. There are videos on YouTube on how to remove the NES lockout chip. I had taken out the lockout chip and it works fine.

Hi 121778shon,

My name is Drew Steimel ad I am the owner of DKOldies.com. Please contact me and I will be able to either get your system working or give you a free exchange, credit or refund. All our NES system are original Nintendo's from the 1980's and are all 100% refurbished and tested before leaving here. The blinking on the NES does not mean your system is broken, it only means that your connection between the game and system is not perfect. This issue is very common on the NES even when it was brand new. There are many reasons that this may occur and most of them are fixed by cleaning your game of any dirt and dust. We have more extensive tips located on our website, but please call or email me so I can help you directly. We are very easy to deal with here and want you to be able to play your games! -Drew Steimel

A good reliable company though i may try elsewhere

i bought my games before i read a review (they were NES games). i bought six from them for about 56 USD. The games arrived kind of beat up, so i tested them in my Classic NES, and while the were a bit temperamental, that is to be expected with at least 20 year old games. One barely worked at first, so i emailed them, and the next day they gave me tips on how to fix the problems. I think i will order from them again. although judging from the amount of bad reviews, my experience may not be normal, but i am pleased with them.

When I read this web site I was a little to scared to buy games for my Super Nintendo but I gave it a try anyway. I don't know what any of you people are complaining about I got everything on time everything was clean and worked they were very helpful they had no problem searching for a game that wasn't posted to the site yet and I was able to get it after it was tested and cleaned. Dont listen to these people they are probably mad at everything in there life and need to mess it up for everyone else. I had no problem and I will be buying from them again.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the great comments here. I have to tell you I take all the complaints extremely personal and these nice comments feel good! DKOldies.com has been selling retro video games for over 10 years now. We have learned a lot in those years and our biggest mistake was growing too fast in the beginning. In the last few years we have come into our own not only with having the best games in all the time but offering what I feel is the best customer service of any company. It may not sound like it from these few reviews, but I'm here to say that we are here to be contacted with any issue you may have and stand by our products so that you can have fun playing your old video games.

I strongly RECOMMEND to all buyers...

DK OLDIES used ebay to steal from Me.

DK Oldies bought a Nintendo game from me on Ebay. I shipped ASAP to them after they finally paid.

They said that they never received product, accused me of not shipping. I have proof that I shipped, USPS date, time, shipped address and shipping amount and package type. Every other customer I have ever sold a product to has received and loved product. MY e-bay site is charles_stuff, check my feedback.

They found a way to take advantage of me, and they are using EBay to do it. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!!!! I did not buy something from them. They bought from me and they Screwed me!!!!!

Unbelievable!!!! I hope that the saying, "What goes around, comes around.", works on them someday!!!! About a $12.00 item, and they will lie about that!!! I at this point do not care about the money!!

Being taken advantage of by a company with a bad reputation. I hope that somehow I can make them loose what they stole from me in the future.

Hi charles_stuff,

I'm sorry that you feel this way. The way we account for incoming items is we check everything in the day it arrives. If something does not arrive we email you for delivery confirmation. After that we will wait up to 45 days for the item to arrive. If it doesn't arrive by then, we must request a refund. We would never intentionally try to cheat or scam you. Please feel free to call me anytime to discuss this.

DK Oldies

Straight from their website: " *DKOldies has the right to refuse any package. We do encourage you to send in all your games working or not. Our team will clean and test everything and if we can get them working we will buy them. If things are damaged beyond repair or are in terrible condition we will not pay full price. Please include a note with your games and include your contact information and how you would like to be paid. " They state right in there that they will not pay full price if things to the seller if "things are damaged beyond repair".....which tells me they will buy them and send them to those of trusting enough to purchase....what a shame.

They shipped me the product late and never repsonded to my emails. The product arrived broken.

I had ordered a NES Nintendo for my kids. I tried to track the package using the tracking number that DKOldies gave me. It didn't work. I called the company....no call back. I emailed the company and 4 days later they emailed back and said to keep calling UPS and it wasn't their problem. The package arrived 2 weeks late and the unit was completely broken. I've called to ship it back and they won't respond. I've also emailed their sales department as instructed on their website. I'm disputing the charge on my credit card. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

DKOldies is a complete and absolute rip off!!!!!!!!They simply take your money and run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ordered Nes System for $53 dollars. Received non-funtioning unit. When I went to there site to send e-mail I was informed they would need all types of information on my e-mail in order to contact them by e-mail. Try it yourself. Impossible. Got around that by simply putting in there e-mail address through normal yahoo. Was informed they test all there games and I should clean the unit. Did not work. Sent two more e-mails and they simply do not respond. Sure wish I had pulled in the information here before I ordered and would have known not to deal with them. COMPLETE RIP OFF. There guarantee is simply there word they tested the game which is a pure and gigantic lie.

I did not have that problem my nes system that I bought from them works fine .The only problem is I bought two game which only one works and I will return for replacement.

Guest

back in the 80s the old systems would not work unless you blow hard inside the system and the inside of the game just at the bottom. then they work fine. i bought a system from them 2 mounths ago and if you just blow inside of it it works fine..

Dkoldies *** me over

DKOLDIES on Ebay screwed me over. This crazy *** overcharged me for shipping to make extra money. On another game she never shipped was remedied through paypal. She put negative comments on my ebay account that Ebay won't remove.

DKOLDIES is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are crooks and they will not answer the phone or your emails. My wife bought me a NES for x-mas and it was supposed to come with the first mario/duckhunt and mario 3.

When we opened the box I got a slip of paper saying that mario 1 was back ordered and it would be shipped out asap. When my wife called to make sure the system would ship in time the rep told her everything was in stock and would be there on time. We hooked the game up to our lcd TV and it would not work. The rep told her that everything BUT the gun would work on ANY TV!

We moved the system to an older TV and as soon as we hit power it started blinking and wouldnt come on. After taking the game out 4 or 5 more times mario 3 came on but had lines all through the screen and big black blocks all over the screen. We played it for about 5 mins and it started blinking again. Also, my wife was told we would get a real NES gun for the duckhunt game and we were sent this chinese piece of *** that weighs about 3 oz.

I emailed pics of the mario 3 game in action and all I got was an email saying that I needed to clean the game and system with q-tips and alcohol! If you look on the website it says all systems are checked and CLEANED! This *** CHRIS told me that they didnt clean the gmaes or systems! I am not paying $115.90 for something that I have to clean the very first time and right out of the *** box!

I files a complaint with the BBB and what a surprize they have over 20 compaints and have an F rating with the BBB! I called my CC company and they are trying to get my money also. I have the womans number who I think owns the company! She wont answer of course.

I WILL GET MY GD MONEY BACK! I will hire a lawyer and call the local media! I dont care if it cost 1000's of dollars to hire a lawyer, they have screwed the last victim!

Buy from Pedro, you can find his site on ebay! DONT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't buy from them in the first place. That are over priced.

Guest

well it from 2009 maybe at 2016 they are great business

Guest

It is common for an NES to blink on and off. The 10NES chip causes that and you should probably look up on youtube for a tutorial on how to disable the chip.

Guest

I've ordered from them more than once and have nothing but good to say about them. The systems and games I bought work flawlessly and I have a NES and two games on the way.

I already know they're going to be temperamental, they're old, but I've never had a issue with the SNES and games I bought as they're in perfect condition. Also, the current technology makes it hard to use those old games, you have to reach a middle ground with it. And if your going to complain about the controller, next time you and your wife should read the details of the product your buying. The first gen controllers, the real ones, are rare and expensive to get your hands on, however, there are tons of after market controllers that aren't rare and cheap.

The consoles you buy will come with these aftermarket controllers, if you want a real one, your going to have to buy it separately because they're rare!

I've got two after market SNES controllers and a real first gen SNES controller that I paid a good chunk of money for. If you want old games, and old systems, you need to understand how hard, temperamental, and costly it's going to be instead of blaming a really good company for things they can't fix.

Guest

I don't mean to be obnoxious or mean, but your REVIEW is a joke, not the website. I'm sorry, but I laughed when I read that the Zapper didn't work on your LCD TV.

Just so you know, the Zapper only works on "tube" TVs (with curved screens). Also, as previous responses have already stated, it is typical and, in fact, to be expected, for the NES to glitch, flash, and be difficult (In my personal opinion, getting games to work is half the fun, but I'm probably just psychotic).

Guest

the reason the flshing lights an blocks came on is because u r not suposed to plug in the white cord and evryon reading this me an my friends want ed to my the same thins so i got an nes freind1 got snes and friend2 got a n64 they work great perefect actualy this guy is crazy

Andrew Beq

ugh stop complaining about how the system did not work it happens! the stuff is very temperamental.

what happens is that when gear gets older, it starts to wear.

this happens to everything not just games so quit blaming the company. buying consoles from the internet is not very smart unless it is from ebay, or buy it in a store like destiney games

It might not work smart *** they owe me $158 check I haven't saw and I shipped them in some rare games and they didn't give me my other check the better bussiness bereau is fixing to shut their little party down i'll sue the *** out of them. Now complain about that.

How'd that go for you? :( :cry :( :cry :cry :cry

Sounds expensive to sue for a couple hundred bucks supposedly.

Lawyers fees would be more. :cry

Guest

First off, you over paid by about $90 lol. If you did a little research you could have got one on eBay for about $30.

Secondly, NES blinks. Thats what it does. It did that in 1986 when i got it right out of the box, and its till doing it in 2011. You can CLEAN it all you want, but its not going to change anything.

Lines are because the game glitched. Like the NES blinks, the games glitch up. Thats what happened 30 years ago.

And thirdly, way to spam another site. That completely takes away all your credibility right there. You completely bad mouth a place and then spam a competitor. lol i wouldnt doubt if you were "PEdro" loser.

If you make an order mistake or they make a mistake, its really hard to get ahold of them. Buying from them can be a risk. They have a telephone number and an email address listed ont heir site, but if you try to contact them, they never reply. Don't be fooled by the phrase, our email hours are 9AM-9PM (M-F). dkoldies.com just isn't that professional. Buyer Beware. Apparently they used to have an active ebay store. They probably started their own site so that no one could give them negative feedback. Well, this is my negative feedback. It could probably be a potentially good site if they just responded to their answering machine and emails and respected their customers more.

I bought one item from their eBay store years ago. Some time ago, apparently when they founded their own site, they have started mailing me advertisements for their products to the e-mail that was used in the eBay transaction.

I never opted in for those as far as I know, and the unsubscribe mailbox has been full for weeks despite several tries. The company seems to engage in unsolicited e-mail marketing with no viable opt-out method.

The site said that orders over $50 are free shipping. I ordered over $50 worth of stuff, and they didn't give me my free shipping like they said.

This site is horrible. I don't even know how they manage to get enough money to pay for adds in google.
