About Us
Retro-Games specialises in rare, collectible
and imported video games for all platforms since 1980.
The website was acquired in 2007 along with a sizeable inventory of retro gaming stock.
The site has a great retro gaming museum and we are currently working on improving
the links between this site and the Chillout Games site.
We stock games, consoles and accessories for all the major console platforms, retro machines and
handhelds and in the past 22 years our catalogue has grown to over
49,000 titles.
As of March 2025, there are 842,558 high resolution pictures of actual games for sale on the site.
Most of our games are used/pre-owned but we also sell some new factory sealed games.
Our main website, www.chilloutgames.co.uk, was established in 2003
and we now have over 250,000 customers in 44 countries around the world.
We have advertised prominently in national gaming publications over the past
12 years with adverts in Play, Retro Gamer, and Edge.
