ABOUT CONSOLE PASSION RETRO GAMES

Console Passion Retro Games is a UK based supplier of classic video games & consoles. Our store was established in 2000 and has grown from a small operation to the UK’s biggest and most popular retro retailer, shipping to all corners of the globe.

The store stocks boxed, complete video games and consoles from the early Atari 2600 to more recent Sony Playstation and Dreamcast platforms. We have a large selection of imported Japanese titles and also sell handheld games such and the Nintendo Game & Watch, Grandstand and Tomy games. In addition to video games they also have full sized arcade machines & arcade games for sale.

The company has sponsored many of the recent retro shows – the CGE-UK, Retro Ball, Retrovision & Retro North - and sponsors the Retro Survival and Retro Revival magazines. We have extensive worldwide connections and are easily capable of sourcing any game or console we don't currently hold in stock.

At Console Passion we have experienced technicians who can perform repairs and legal modifications on existing UK consoles to allow imported games to be played without the need for an adapter. We buy entire collections or you can part exchange your unwanted games against other items in store.

As well as running the games store, the owner Andy Brown has written for many video games magazines and was involved with the launch of the 'Retro Fusion' magazine. He has been asked to help with research for several published books, done TV, radio & magazine interviews and even co-presented a documentary on retro gaming. Just recently we have been asked to put on a retro exhibit for the BBC which has received a great deal of positive feedback.

A number of people will be asking themselves, why bother - there are so many emulators available for PC's these days so why spend so much money? Well, don't worry I'm not going to start lecturing about the morals of emulators, the simple answer is there is nothing like the real thing! Owning a mint copy of Chrono Trigger and carefully unfolding the map to play the game beats emulation any day!

Any suggestions for this site are greatly welcomed - any feedback would be very much appreciated. I do hope I help you to find that one game you have been after for years, and if you do and you are happy with my service, please recommend me to any other retro fans you know.
