About C&C Retro Games
C&C Retro Games (short for Cartridge & Circuit) is an online retro game store. We sell refurbished retro video game consoles, games, controllers and accessories, from the NES and Sega Genesis to the Game Boy, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360, and ship them to customers across the United States.
Every console and game we sell is inspected, cleaned and tested by hand before it ships, and every item is covered by a 180-day warranty.
Why we started C&C Retro Games
Buying a used console online can feel like a gamble. Listings are vague, photos are blurry, and you don't find out whether the thing actually works until it's on your doorstep. We started C&C Retro Games to take the gamble out of it: clear listings that say exactly what's in the box, real photos, fair prices, and a warranty that means something.

How we check every item
- Inspected. We look over the shell, screen, ports and cables first, so we know exactly what we're working with.
- Cleaned inside and out. Dust and grime come off, and contacts and cartridge pins are cleaned so games boot on the first try.
- Tested on real hardware. Consoles are powered on and played, every button is pressed, games are run on the systems they were made for, and handheld batteries are charged and checked.
- Photographed and listed honestly. Our listings show photos of our own units, with serial numbers blurred for privacy. Where we use a reference photo, we say so, and we're happy to send photos of the exact unit you'll receive.

Questions people ask us
Are your games and consoles original?
Yes. We sell original Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Sega hardware and games. If a listing is a third-party or new-reproduction accessory, the title says so.
What does "refurbished" mean at C&C Retro Games?
That exact item has been inspected, cleaned and tested by hand on real hardware. It may show normal signs of age, but it works when it arrives, and it's covered for 180 days.
Where do you ship?
We ship to addresses in the United States. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, and standard shipping is free on orders of $70 or more.
Can I see photos of the exact unit I'll get?
Yes. Email us with the item and color you're looking at and we'll send photos.
