Retro Gaming

Every gaming we currently stock. Tested by hand, shipped worldwide.

Shop

Retro gaming handhelds and consoles: Game Boy, Nintendo 64, pocket LCD machines and the cartridges that ate every recess of the decade.

Original hardware versus emulation handhelds

Original hardware gives you real cartridge slots, real controller feel and zero input lag. Modern retro handhelds give you hundreds of titles in one shell with a backlit screen and rechargeable battery. We stock both, and the listing always states which is which.

What to check on a used Game Boy

Screen lines, dead pixels, sound from both speaker and headphone jack, battery contact corrosion and cartridge slot pin condition. Corroded contacts are cleanable; screen line damage requires a ribbon reflow.

FAQ

Do old Game Boy cartridges still save?
Many still hold saves, but the internal CR2025 save battery is 25+ years old and is a cheap, common replacement when it fails.
