A handful of new games including Castlevania & Rat Attack for the Nintendo 64. Also got the Sega Saturn Nights + 3D Control Pad Boxset for the Sega Saturn back in stock.

25th June 2008

I know it looks like there hasn't been any updates for a while, but I've actually been adding items every week since the last uypdate. So this is the culmination of about two months of gradual updates. So where to start? Well, firstly there are plenty of consoles back in stock - Sega Megadrive, Sega Master System, Virtual Boy, Sega Mega-CD, Atari 7800, two lovely Woody Atari 2600 consoles and a Vectrex all in there for sale. The Vectrex console comes with a load of games too including the sought after Fortress of Narzod. There are the usual games updates to all the usual sections which I won't go on about here, but worth a special mention are updates to the Nintendo Game & Watch section (again!) with several more boxed handhelds, a load of new Atari 2600 Games and a big Playstation Games update. Just got a big load of Imported Japanese Games which will be added over the next few days...

 
20th April 2008

A splatter of random updates for various consoles. There are a few consoles back in stock for the Atari 2600, Sega Saturn, Amstrad GX4000 & Nintendo 64. Same applies to games for the Super Nintendo, Sega Megadrive, Nintendo NES & Sony Playstation. Definitely worth a look is the update to the Nintendo Game & Watch section - some nice boxed handhelds such as Goldcliff, Fire Attack & Climber.

 
11th April 2008

No update, just a little titbit of information for any Nintendo NES fans out there. I stumbled across a wicked website yesterday - www.nesreproductions.com is a US based site which offers a unique service - they create custom built cartridges of NES Games that never made it to final production. Up until now these games were only playable by emulators, but now thanks to Leon Kiriliuk you can play these game in their full glory on the Nes Console. They also have Japanese RPG's that have been converted into English by fans. This site is a must for any serious NES fan!

 
28th March 2008

Back from my holidays. All back orders are being processed. The BBC wrote a nice little article about us and the success of the retro show I did for them a few weeks ago. The article can be found on the BBC Website.

 
5th March 2008

I am away on holidays from 6th march until 26th March. All orders and enquiries will be processed when I return.

 
27th February 2008

A little update but two new sections. Granted they are only small but I have been meaning to add them for ages. They are the Coleco Handheld Games and Texas Instruments Handheld Games sections. You'll find the well loved Speak & Spell and Donkey Kong Tabletop games in there. Also updated is the Sega Dreamcast Imports section with some nice Japanese games for all you import fans -   Daytona USA 2001, Dynamite Deka 2, Street Fighter 3rd Strike & Street Fighter Zero 3 are now ripe for picking.

 
15th February 2008

Welcome to any listeners from the BBC! Today we did the first of three radio interviews for the BBC - the others being next week. The one today was from Console Passion HQ - it is kind of weird having a radio interview from your own house. We have also put on a retro show for the BBC at their studios in Blackburn, Lancashire. It is free to visit and play on any of the games and consoles - if you are local why not pop down and take a look!

Welcome to our newest section - the Sony Playstation section.

In fact this update was so big we had to split the section into two pages - I would say that this is probably the biggest selection of 3DO titles anywhere in the world! A similar sized Sega Mega-CD, Amiga CD32 and Philips CDi update are coming next, and another new section. As ever keep your eyes peeled and keep coming back for more!

Phew! Next update will be the 3DO section - finally after over a year!

 
12th January 2006

How long since our last update?!? Well, in our defence we were away on holiday in Africa for a while, then there was the Retro Ball to sort out. But do not worry, we have a nice big restock on it's way, with special emphasis on the Megadrive. We have also been working with the guys from Retro Fusion - a brand new retro magazine.
