I can’t rate 8bit beyond higher than 5 stars, but if I could I would. I placed an order of 4/5 games, all arrived within 48 hours of me completing that order. All with the manuals, all description of... See more

Dispatch or shipping took a week unfortunately but this seems to be a relatively new company, they responded to me quickly and the games were as shown when arrived, so was happy with my order. I think... See more

Stumbled across this little gem of a website. Very reasonably priced & had a discount code banner clearly displayed for 10%. Had an instant personal email thanking me for shopping with them. Already... See more

Absolutely brilliant service. Called me to advise that one of the games was missing the manual, asking whether it would still be ok or if I wanted to cancel it from the order. Messaged also when I cou... See more

Hello

Hello, first you tell me that you are going to send me another game because you do not have the copy of the order in stock, then you ask me how the order was placed, I have not received anything yet...

We gave you the opportunity, to cancel the order, because the specific product photographed was not available. 2nd point given that this is an open platform, we won’t do it here but we do have tracking information, so will check it once the public holiday is over here and give you an update. But as you are in a foreign country postal service and customs do take around 2 working weeks and that time has only just elapsed since the order was placed

Avoid!

I’ve contacted them 3 times and I’ve been ignored every single time! I do NOT recommend as they never get in touch with you and their SNES games haven’t been updated in well over a year ago. Avoid this shop!

Would probably order from again

Dispatch or shipping took a week unfortunately but this seems to be a relatively new company, they responded to me quickly and the games were as shown when arrived, so was happy with my order. I think I'll be using this company again in future. Their prices are also competitive and follow current game prices, rather than being hiked up like some ebayers and sites do. Can see this company doing well.

Hi thanks for the great feedback, shipping is usually next day, however we are suffering with issues with Royal Mail collecting parcels causing us delays at present. Thank you for choosing to shop with us!

A real gem of a shop

Brilliant store. The staff are so kind and helpful.

Couldn't find a charger for a beloved DS Lite anywhere until I discovered this shop; the range of retro and out-of-fashion products is amazing. A definite must for any gaming fan
