About This Game

One more box. One more space on the shelf.

Your basement is full of possibilities: dusty cartridges, tangled cables, empty shelves, and a CRT waiting to flicker back to life. In Retro Game Collector Simulator, collecting is a hands-on ritual. Open a second-hand game lot, inspect what you found, and decide what deserves a place in your collection.

Unbox, inspect, organize

Order mixed lots, open the deliveries, and pour their contents into your room. Sort games by system and catalog number, check their condition, and build your shelves one find at a time. Discover 300 collectible games across 17 fictional retro systems, from early cartridges to the disc era.

Get the old hardware working

Find the right power supply, controller, and video connection. Match the TV channel, troubleshoot stubborn hardware, and enjoy the familiar rituals of getting an old game to run. Once everything is connected, play built-in retro minigames on the CRT.

Make room for the next find

Sell duplicates and unwanted items, put collections up for auction, and use your earnings for more games, better shelves, TVs, and consoles. Balance the excitement of the next delivery with the satisfaction of an organized collection.

Every collection carries a story

Read the collector's memories, uncover traces of previous owners, and fill out your collection binder. Behind the labels and worn boxes are small pieces of childhood waiting to be rediscovered.
