Bundle In A Box is out of the box!

Not strictly retro, I know, but I do hope you will allow your humble host the luxury of pointing you towards Bundle In A Box - Adventure Bundle. It's something I've been working on for quite some time now and I do believe it has a certain retro/indie appeal, what with it featuring six rather brilliant adventure games and one text-adventure. Please, do have a look... It's a pay-what-you-want affair after all.

Boxed Neo-Geo CD

Despite horrendous loading times the Neo Geo CD was the first, almost affordable Neo Geo console and the only way to play those amazing arcade hits in the comfort of one's place. Happily, you can still grab a Neo Geo CD without having to sell off said place. Try this Neo Geo CD auction, for example, and see for yourselves. It's the boxed, Japanese version of the thing and the seller ships worldwide.

Oric-1 (boxed)

Oric-1, the blue and white 8-bit micro with the tiny keys and the elegant design, that to this day remains my little obsession...

It's the complete, boxed and untested micro. Seller ships worldwide.

Sony's venerable PlayStation

I know that the original Sony PlayStation is both historically important and definitely retro, but, somehow, this second fact just makes me feel old... Still, I couldn't help but noticing this lovely and most probably very modestly priced PlayStation auction on eBay. The console comes complete with the original gamepad, a memory card, and seven games including Tomb Raider II. Seller ships only within the US.

Leather Goddesses of Phobos (Amiga)

Leather Goddesses of Phobos by Infocom is a brilliant, sexy, funny and excellently written text-adventure, that has aged beautifully and still manages to provide with a ton of choices ranging from the gender of the main character to the game's naughtiness. Taking into account that the Amiga hasn't aged at all either, well, you should really take a look at this Leather Goddesses of Phobos auction.

The games comes complete in its box, meaning all the amazing feelies, including the unscratched scratch-'n'sniff thiny, are there and everything is in near mint condition. Seller ships worldwide.

Neo Geo AES games are rarely cheap and Bang Bang Busters is not an exception. Just have a look at this Bang Bang Busters auction for the complete, boxed copy of the US AES version.
