The Second Life of a Game | Pokémon Emerald, 2005 → 2026
Christmas 2005: one Pokémon Emerald, one Game Boy Advance SP and hundreds of hours under the blanket. Twenty-one years later, that game gets a second life.

Then you grew up. The box went up to the attic, and one day it was sold at a flea market for three euros. Gone. But games like this don't just disappear. They end up here, at Gameshop Enter in Enter, the Netherlands.
Before a game reaches the shop, it goes through six checks: screw, label, weight, circuit board, real hardware and a save test. Fails even one? We don't sell it. That's why 12% of the cartridges we buy in never make it to the shop.

Shipped from the Netherlands
- Your order leaves our own stock in Enter, the Netherlands, and travels to you with PostNL — always tracked, so you know exactly where your parcel is.
- There are no customs borders inside the EU: no customs, no import duties, no extra VAT. The amount you see at checkout is the final amount.
We ship exclusively from the Netherlands. Your parcel therefore crosses a border: it takes longer than a domestic delivery, and shipping costs more than it would at a seller in your own country.
