Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Online purchases under SAR 1,000 including shipping are free of customs duty, but Saudi VAT of 15% applies; from SAR 1,000, customs duty (usually 5%) is added. SPL collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout. At checkout you enter the short address of your National Address.

On your console in Saudi Arabia: NES games are region-locked: this European (PAL) edition plays on a European (PAL) NES — check the region of your console, or ask us in the chat.

Saudi Arabia is outside the EU. Online purchases worth less than SAR 1,000 in total, shipping included, are free of customs duty — but Saudi VAT of 15% still applies, sometimes with a small customs service fee from ZATCA. From SAR 1,000, customs duty (usually 5%) is added on top. SPL collects it before delivery; it is not included in the price at checkout. SPL delivers to your National Address, which is why checkout asks for your short address (4 letters and 4 digits, e.g. RRRD2929). You pay in euros — Credit card or PayPal. Mollie does not process Saudi riyals; next to every price you see the approximate amount in riyals, and your card converts the euro amount at its own rate.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — €4.40, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the €35.95 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product

Tetris for NES — original Nintendo retro, personally checked.

The puzzle game that defined the Game Boy. From 1989, still perfect.

Cartridge cleaned and tested on original hardware, ready to play.

The NES came out in 1983: the console that reinvented the home market after the 1983 crash — Super Mario Bros., the first Zelda and Metroid. On the original cartridge the game runs the way it was meant to — and keeps working for years to come.

Who is this for? Anyone who would rather play on a real NES than in an emulator — collectors who want the original in their hands, and players who simply want that feeling back.

NES games are region-locked: this European (PAL) edition plays on a European (PAL) NES — check the region of your console, or ask us in the chat. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.

Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to Saudi Arabia: from €35.95; Saudi VAT (15%) is collected on delivery, customs duty only from SAR 1,000. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a few euros cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.

Does it work?: Here: Has been running here — save and label checked — before it went online.; Private seller: ‘Works’ in the photo. You test it yourself, after buying.
Is it genuine?: Here: Six checks: screw, label, circuit board, weight, save and boot. A reproduction doesn’t get through.; Private seller: Fakes are a plague with Pokémon and GBA games, and in a photo you can’t tell the difference.
If it disappoints?: Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.; Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
Who’s behind it?: Here: One person, who has held this game personally and answers your question personally.; Private seller: Varies per listing.

Why you still remember this

Just one more round, you said, at half past eleven

The game you switched on for five minutes and were still playing an hour later. You still saw the shapes at night, and you had a favourite spot on the sofa where thinking went better.

One copy, this copy. Games like this live on being picked up quickly — a cartridge you slide in does that, a download on a console that first wants to update doesn’t.

Authenticity check

How we test NES games for authenticity

NES cartridges (1985-1995) are 30+ years old — fakes are everywhere, especially for top games (Mario, Zelda, Mega Man). We go through these five steps. Every NES game in our shop goes through this five-step check before it is sold.

1
NES front-loading cartridge format
Original NES cartridge: 13x12x2 cm grey plastic, with a 72-pin connector on the bottom (the Japanese Famicom has 60 pins — it does not fit). A fake sometimes has the wrong dimensions or plastic colour (often lighter).
2
Product code NES-XXXX
Label on the back: NES- prefix. NES-SMB-USA = Super Mario Bros USA. NES-ZL-NOE = The Legend of Zelda EU. No NES- prefix = fake.
3
Label + Nintendo Seal of Quality
Original label: sharp print, gold Seal of Quality. Fake: dull grey, missing Seal.
4
PCB + Nintendo branding
Open with a 3.8 mm gamebit (early cartridges: five Phillips screws). The PCB has "NINTENDO" engraved + the correct product code. Fakes have a generic PCB layout.
5
Boot + 72-pin connector check
Insert it into an original NES. The game sometimes only loads after re-inserting it 1-2 times (the 72-pin connector loses its springiness after 35+ years). Fake: crashes on the intro or shows the wrong graphics.

What we see with NES games

Our experience

NES cartridges (1985-1995) are 30+ years old. Wear on the contact pins is normal — some cartridges only start after inserting them 2-3 times. We clean the contacts before shipping. Fakes exist for top games (Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Mega Man).

Our tip

The NES has a 72-pin connector that wears out after 35+ years. Sometimes it helps to replace the connector — an inexpensive part. We check that cartridges start on a GOOD NES — if your own NES is worn, it can refuse original cartridges too.

About the Nintendo NES

The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan as the Famicom, 1986 in Europe) is the console that breathed new life into gaming after the crash of 1983. With 62 million units sold, the NES introduced Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Mega Man — the foundations of modern video games. Original NES cartridges are now real retro collector’s items.

The notorious 72-pin connector can get dirty after 35+ years — a clean usually fixes a flashing picture.
PAL-A (UK/Italy/Australia) and PAL-B (rest of Europe) cartridges differ in their lockout chip — a PAL-A game does not start on a PAL-B NES and vice versa, even though both run at 50 Hz.
Cartridges have no battery, except RPG-style titles (Zelda) with a save battery that can run flat after decades.
Sought after as loose cartridges in good condition: The Legend of Zelda (gold cartridge), Metroid, the Mega Man series and Castlevania.

Our tip: Is your NES picture flashing? That is almost always down to the 72-pin connector or dirty cartridge contacts, not the game itself. We clean every cartridge and test it on real hardware before sale.
