Handhelds for retro gaming are now in everyone’s hands, but there is a hidden elite, much like hipsters, who had these devices before it was cool. One of them is certainly Michael, because he has not only designed, created and distributed his own handhelds, but also knows which hardware is recommended in this segment. So it’s not surprising that the Dragonbox Shop is full of handhelds, consoles, controllers, spare parts, books and even its own game production for old consoles, all stocked in Germany.
An outstanding unique selling proposition is the philosophy: in the store, only what the boss himself likes is sold. It’s one of those places that I particularly love because from the selection of articles, as well as the way he talks about his business, you immediately realize, Oha! Now I’ve stumbled into the lab of a mad professor! I would also like to pay special attention to the lifestyle and design objects that you can buy in this store: pixel frames composed of several layers show iconic scenes from long-gone gaming classics and the memory, as well as attracting interest in retro gaming is done enough by the fact that there are even sprite books and literature worth reading to buy.
I was particularly impressed by this, because anyone who likes to create foreign shame at the next influencer and Instagram party with embarrassing fun facts needs exactly these books, because this knowledge is gradually being lost! But just not here.
Replenishment is provided
In addition to the broad and coherent offer, DragonBox has another special feature that is rarely found nowadays: its own game production. By that I don’t mean a software studio, but manufacturing in the literal sense. Game programmers for old consoles can release their games as physical cartridges in collaboration with Michael. He has everything for this in his storerooms: programmers, label machines, empty housings.
Sure, the homebrew scene is sometimes bigger or smaller depending on the console, but if you want to sell and manufacture professionally, DragonBox Shop is the place to go for duplication, packaging and distribution. Of course, as a reader you wonder true to the motto: Who programs and sells new games for ancient consoles today? But if you go down into the aftermarket holes, you’ll quickly discover: there are definitely still interested parties for this and also a market.
