Why was Gamechecker built?
Shopping for retro games in the Netherlands often means the same thing: open five tabs, compare prices manually, forget which titles you already own, and hope you don't overpay. Many webshops have great inventory, but nobody shows the full picture in one overview.
Gamechecker was built to change that. As a collector I wanted to quickly see which games are available, where they're cheapest (including an estimate of shipping costs), and which titles I'm still missing from my collection.
The site is for anyone who buys or collects retro games — from casual buyers to dedicated collectors. Gamechecker doesn't sell anything itself; we only help you make better choices before you visit a webshop.

What is Gamechecker?
Gamechecker is an independent price comparison service for retro video games. We collect publicly available product information from Dutch webshops and display it clearly per platform, so you can see at a glance which titles are available and at what price.
With a free account you can also track your own collection, build a wishlist and filter games you don't have yet.
Our mission
Finding and comparing retro games takes time — especially when browsing multiple webshops. Gamechecker brings that inventory together in one place so you can make informed choices without searching dozens of sites yourself.
How it works
- Collect — we periodically fetch product and price information from partner Dutch webshops.
- Normalize — titles are grouped and linked to the correct platform (PS1, PS2, Xbox, etc.).
- Compare — see per game which shops offer it, including price and availability.
- Manage — with an account you track your collection and wishlist and see which games you're missing.
Webshops
We currently track 13 webshops with retro games. Gamechecker is not a webshop itself: purchases are always made directly with the relevant store. See our Disclaimer for more on prices and availability.
Transparency
Our scrapers identify themselves with a clear bot header, respect robots.txt and use reasonable request rates. More details are in our Disclaimer.
