30th August 2010 - BIG GAMES WEEK
This week we are having a mega listing week, trying to catch up with the mountains of stock we have ready to go on the site. The plan is to list over 300 games over the coming days, finally breaking the 20,000 barrier in our live products total. (this total is displayed in the menu next to 'Sitemap')
Of course, the problem of having such a huge database of stock is that most games which come in, we already have a listing for. A stock change does not change our inventory total, so it is only new items to the site which count.
So, keep an eye on the newly listed page, this week is going to be a good one for the site!
19th August 2010 - No Parcel Despatch on 20th & 23rd
Due to staff holidays there will be no royal mail collection on Friday the 20th or Monday the 23rd of August, this will lead to a slight delay to orders placed on Friday. Normal service resumes on Tuesday the 24th, and all orders will be despatched on this day.
Due to staff holidays, we will not be able to price collections for cash or exchange for the coming week, orders and parcels are going out as normal, and collections will be priced again on or after the 2nd of August. Apologies to anyone caught up in the delay.
Hope you like the new Front Page icons, which were far more complicated to add than at first thought. Hopefully regular visitors will be pleased by the 'hot update' link which takes you straight to the last seven days worth of new items. The newest feature though is a link to our Twitter feed. Hopefully we'll soon pick up a few followers, and be able to keep you all updated through twitter with the hottest items on the site, and general gaming updates.
Also, the promised Twitter links are coming soon to all in store items - Woohoo!
We're just uploading another two hundred items to our ebay shop. While these items are not of a condition good enough to appear on this site, they are generally cheaper. Why not grab a bargain, and make us pay Ebay commission in the process!It's not often a product from the site gets mentioned on the news page, but when Nintendo decide to release a brand new Game & Watch, it deserves some attention. To celebrate the anniverary of thirty years of G&W, Nintendo have released a new version of Ball. However, rather than offering it for sale, the game was used solely for promotional purposes, being sent to all Platinum members of the Japanese Nintendo club. Can you imagine Nintendo doing anything like that for their British customers?
The game itself is pretty much identical to the original 1980 version, though the embossed information box on the rear has different information and the Nintendo club logo. The box is beautiful, along with the improved inner packaging, and bespoke fold out card stand for the game.
With games being sent to individual addresses within Japan only, getting a quantity for the site has proved difficult, as you need a lot of Japanese friends! However, we have managed to get three shipped into the UK today, original address labels removed from the outer boxes, and all three in MINT and unplayed condition. Item 020256.

If this doesn't become a super collectible in the years to come, then i'll eat my Virtual Boy carry case.
The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that our sister music site, Retroboke, has been radically redesigned, in a similar style to this site. Currently with just under 12,000 LPs, 12"s and 7" Singles for sale, check it out at www.retrobloke.com
Our long suffering founder, Jace - of Rant fame, has been persuaded to contribute to a fascinating new games site, gaminglives.com. It's a kind of site where world weary gamers get stuff off their chest. I know there's a lot of blogging sites, and game themed forums out there, but this is far better organised and features some great writers. Our first contribution is on naughty games, to go straight there CLICK HERE
For the Retrogames Site News Archive It goes back to the last century!
