- Four new systems join the catalog: Sega Master System, Nintendo DS, Atari Lynx, and Xbox 360. - Pick your region in Settings (or when you first open the app) — games open with that region's edition and box art, and the browse grids show your region's covers wherever they exist. - Console names follow your region too: set Australia or Europe and Genesis becomes Mega Drive and Sega CD becomes Mega-CD; set Japan and TurboGrafx-16 becomes PC Engine. - Rarity is now scored per market — see each edition's rarity side by side on the game page, and switch your rarity market in Settings. - Behind-the-scenes stability improvements.

THE Retro Game 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

Mystery solved!!

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.

Nostalgic!

iRetroDex is awesome for anyone who grew up with classic games or just loves retro gaming history. 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.
