It has huge lists of games across consoles like NES, SNES, Atari, and more, with tons of fun facts and details that make it easy to discover or remember old favorites.The best part is the nostalgia factor. Being able to see old game commercials from the 90s is such a cool touch and makes the app feel like more than just a database. I also love that I can track my own collection and mark games I played growing up.Clean, fun, nostalgic, and packed with information. An easy 5 stars for retro game fans.

Mystery solved!!
✨ The Wizard ✨
For the past 20 years I’ve been trying to find the name of a game I distinctly remember playing as a kid. No amount of googling helped. I started to think I made it up. But today I opened this app and there it was! Thank you! If you’re a retro collector you’re going to love all the extras on here like the tv commercials and trivia. (I even spotted some cool Easter eggs) 🧙Great app.

I am a retro game collector with well over 1,000 games and this app is by far the most complete app I’ve seen yet. It’s also very visually pleasing and I’ve been enjoying binging the commercials and trivia which you can find alongside each game as well. Solid UX/feel. <3
Wow

- See prices in your own currency — Retrodex now converts every price to your local currency automatically, and you can switch to any of 30+ currencies in Settings.
- Catalog updates now finish downloading in the background, so new systems and prices land reliably even if you don't keep the app open.
- Gameplay videos now play with sound by default — tap a video to mute it, and you'll be asked once if you'd like them muted from then on.
- Widescreen gameplay videos now fill the player instead of showing black bars.
- TV Flashback clips no longer close when you tap outside the video by accident.
- Behind-the-scenes stability improvements.
