Perfect for Game Collectors!

I have been using this App for a good 5+ years. Tracks games released in NTSC and PAL regions and offers pricing and direct link to eBay listing to buy the game from if you are missing it. Price point per app is affordable for what it offers, and even has a bundle price for every app in the store which offers free updates to any system added in the future. Also if you have a game that’s missing on the list tweet at the developer and they will add it in the next update.

Retro collectors dream

I found I kept buying games I already had also it’s difficult to know if you are paying too much for a game whilst hunting for bargains. This app sorts that out by keeping all of your collection easily viewable in one place. It also does a market search for you for games you want in your collection and gives an average price.

A high price retro collection database

This is a well done app and provides a decent amount of information.

The big issue is the cost per system. With this being geared for collectors we’re more than likely to have multiple systems, to have a possible cost of £50+ app is not what I call a reasonable price.

The cost for me is just to high without knowing if all my games will be captured. Give a better limited demo where we can try all systems but only 20 games can be captured per system then i might be more willing to pay your prices.
