We are currently working on some new guides and features which we hope will prove highly popular. We are also on the look out for contributors, so if you’ve previously written for our Retrogames magazine, or fancy telling the world about a particular format or facet of collecting, then why not get in touch. You could well see your credited work published on the site, which attracts in excess of two million hits per month.
Our Ebay Shop Has Grown
Our Ebay shop is where we put all our bargain games, duplicates items, games without manuals, newer formats, and unusual Retro odds and ends. It now includes over one thousand items, so is worth checking out. But, don’t worry, all the best stuff stays within the Retrogames.co.uk site.

Hi Jason,
Many big thanks for the fast, safe and correct delivery of my shipment! The sinclair magazines arrived (both parcels) early this week, which was faster than I'd thought they would!
Items were in very, very good condition considering their age. This of course only confirms that the descriptions and ratings in your shop are correct and reliable! I will for certain recommend retrogames.co.uk to everyone interested in retrogaming.
Thanks again, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Keep up the good work with your excellent website. Sverker from Sweden

Hi Jason
I received Star Wars Return of The Jedi for the Atari ST yesterday and it works perfectly, and is an excellent game, I'm delighted with it. Also Road Runner works, which is another great game. I thought it might not have worked because it stated it required a colour monitor, but it works fine on my T.V.
I just need to say that the service I've received from you is impeccable, just as it was in the past when I've ordered from you. You take customer service to a whole new higher level. I'm quite literally astounded by your goodwill and generosity.I've been browsing your website again last night and am going to make a further order of multiple items later on this evening. Again, thank you very much for your service, it never fails to bring a genuine smile to my face.
Regards, Chris Williams, Fishguard

Just writing this email about my order for a Gamecube controller I recently placed. I have nothing but good things to say. The order status system was excellent, the delivery was prompt, and not to mention the great done with packaging it, showing you're someone with enthusiasm for gaming rather than these cowboys on eBay and Amazon. Not to mention, the price was absolutely fantastic. Will definitely shop here again, and again many thanks for the professional, and considerate service. Dumoon.

I always shop with peace in my mind, when I buy from you, because you have the best service I have experienced in the business:
You always pack your items very carefully in a strong cardboard box, (never any squashed game cases (unless they were squashed to begin with ;-), you always ship larger orders registered, and you ship very fast. And you remember to make contact with your customers with issues like this for example. You keep your promises...
You may think this is a little too much now, but you deserve the kind comments. I am sure you have had some of your customers for many years for these reasons and more. Some of your rivals - if I can call them that - could learn a lot from you about service. Thanks again Jason Jan - Denmark

Hey there guys, my name is Chris and i just want to send you an e-mail thanking you for the brilliant service you are providing. I only stumbled across this site a few days ago and i have already placed three orders!, this site is amazing, much better than some of the chancers on ebay and amazon. Great quality games in great condition and you don't get charged astronomical prices for the older or more rare games either. Many thanks, i'm really glad i found your site. Chris.
