This is anti-consumerism at its worst ### 2/5 — Estranho *2026-05-27* Achei que era pra jogar o catálogo, não apenas um catálogo para avaliar os jogos ### 3/5 — Ótimo *2026-04-14* 3 estrelas ### 2/5 — Super Mario bros 3 *2026-02-08, version 4.5* Airship ### 5/5 — Good idea *2026-01-25, version 4.5* Have had this app for awhile. As long as Pat Contri and friends keep the info and prices updated. It is a fantastic app. ### 4/5 — Cannot play any games *2026-01-03, version 4.5* If you wanna read about it, that’s what you can only do in the app ### 3/5 — Zoom fotos *2025-12-20* Uma sugestão seria melhor a possibilidade de dar o zoom nas imagens e também na capa dos cartuchos. Muito pequeno a imagem! ### 5/5 — Enfin une excellente idée ! *2025-10-08* Une excellente idée qu’est cette application ! Elle permet de recenser tous les jeux rétro auquel on a joué durant notre enfance ! Ça donne le sentiment de collectionner des jeux qui, physiquement sont aujourd’hui inaccessibles ou à des prix exorbitants. En plus de cela, avec les jeux disponibles, vous mettez des codes et quelques couvertures de magazines dont le jeu en question a fait la une est une idée vraiment sympa ! Le seul défaut, à mon sens, est qu’il aurait été sympa de mettre aussi les boîtes UE et Asia, quand on modifie le type de jeu. Étendre l’idée sur d’autres consoles Nintendo, Sega et Sony et l’application devient un myst ! Tout ce que j’espère, c’est que l’application ne sera pas laissée à l’abandon, comme beaucoup d’éditeur font… En tout cas, MERCI pour cette application ! ### 4/5 — Buena app *2025-10-01, version 4.4.1* La app es buena en si pero casi todo tienes que pagar me gustaría que hagan otros como de gameboy y gameboycolor ### 5/5 — Games *2025-09-05, version 4.4.1* I click on the games I want it to play how do u play ### 3/5 — ¿Como se juega? *2025-08-07, version 4.4.1* Como se juega o es una guía ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update paywalled the NES library 😡 *2026-08-12, version 4.6* It has been a couple of months since I opened my app and lo and behold my NES library got paywalled by an upgrade I already paid for when I first bought the app! This is anti-consumerism at its worst ### 1/5 — Search *2026-07-16, version 4.6* What happened to the search function? Bring it back.
