Any discount for purchasing a large order?

Sure. Just contact me so we can sort things out.

 

What Payment methods are accepted?

For the time being, I'm accepting payments trough PayPal and Stripe only.

 

Does the reproductions work on clone consoles such as the Retron?

Reproductions do work on clone but I only recommend playing in the original hardware, preferably with a big CRT attached to it :)
There are a lot of clone and compatible systems so it's hard to do a compatibility list for cross checking. If you are planning on playing in one of those systems, you are at your own risk.

 

Are the games in English language?

Yes. They are indeed. All games available on this site are primarily in the English language. Some can also allow the language to be changed in the game settings, to other European languages such as German/Spanish/French, etc.

 

And about the manual, is it in English also?

Yes, all manuals are in English language, even the ones from games released only in Japan or Brazil. Reproductions contain the manuals in their original language.

 

What is the Custom Request?

Easy question. You browse the available games and didn't find the game you are looking for. You contact me with the details about the game you want and we start from there to get you that game.

 

What is the difference between Conversions, homebrews and reproductions?

Conversions are those games that, back in the day, only existed to a specific platform and trough time some skilled people had found a way to adapt that game for another console. The most common examples are the conversions from Game Gear titles to the Master System, since both consoles have compatible hardware specifications. Homebrews are fan-made games developed by professionals or very talented enthusiasts, some with years of development put into them. Reproductions are near perfect copies of games from their console official release catalog.

 

What games are available?

Well... the ones I've managed to put on cartridge and running on original hardware are available so far. Creating a physical copy takes quite some time and the list of "pending" games is already long!
Here you can find the reproductions for old games that are no longer in the commercial circuit or cost you an arm and a leg in second hand. You can also find here homebrews and conversions that aren't for sale on a store, or the developer sold them in a somewhat obscure/underground way and not easily reachable by the common collector.

 

What materials are used in a physical production?

Rest assured everything is high quality and new. From the prints to the cartridge itself. Everything is assembled by hand with care, from a player and collector to another. If you want that original and old school feeling I can use parts from old games like cartridges and boxes, on request, although I don't like it. This means destroying a piece of history and restrain someone having that old game.

  

What is your favorite console?

That's easy! Sega Master System FTW!

 

And your all-time favorite game?

I must say Sonic The Hedgehog on the Master System, but some years ago I got very, very addicted to Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
