À-la-chasse-aux-trésors-pixelisés-des-nineties PXL Heart

On the hunt for pixelated treasures from the nineties!

Hold on to your controller, we're going to explore the ruins of the 90s! 🚀

Indiana

Hello there, Indiana Jones of video games! 🤠 Ready to embark on an epic quest to find the sacred relics of your childhood?

Become a flea market pro 🏪

Put on your best jogging pants, arm yourself with a strong coffee ☕, and rush to the flea markets at the crack of dawn. You might find the legendary cartridge you've been looking for for ages, stuck between a faded Teletubbie and a collection of pins. Bonus if you can haggle like a pro! 💪💰

Ride the wave of classified ads 🏄‍♂️💻

Transform yourself into the Sherlock Holmes of the web 🕵️‍♂️ and hunt down bargains on classifieds sites. Beware of prices that are sometimes more inflated than a Pikachu who has overindulged in berries! 😅 Pro-tip: learn the subtle art of "it's to give to my little cousin" to lower prices. 🧠

Explore the Ali Baba caves of retrogaming 🏛️

Specialty stores are springing up like mushrooms after a rain of pixels. 🍄 Sure, the prices are sometimes as high as a pro's score on Tetris, but at least you can be sure you're not buying a toaster disguised as a Nintendo 64. 🍞➡️🎮

Infiltrate the conventions

Put on your best Mario cosplay (or Luigi if you feel like being an eternal second) 🍄👨‍🔧👨‍🔧 and head to the retrogaming conventions. It's the perfect opportunity to meet other pixel fanatics and maybe even trade in your old Tamagotchi for a rare gem! 💎

Embrace (a little) modernity 🖥️

Yes, I know, nothing beats the tactile pleasure of inserting a cartridge. But admit that downloading a retro game in two clicks is still more practical than blowing like an ox into your recalcitrant cartridge! 😤💨

Some treasures to find 🗺️

  • Super Mario World: Because saving the princess is your destiny! 🍄👸
  • Sonic: To finally understand why this hedgehog is always in a hurry. 🦔💨
  • Final Fantasy VII: Get your tissues ready, the most tragic love story since Romeo and Juliet awaits you. 🗡️😢
  • GoldenEye 007: Become the classiest spy in the pixelated underworld. 🕴️🔫
  • Pokémon Red and Blue: Catch 'em all! (Except your sanity, keep it preciously) 🔴🔵🧠

iconic games

Come on, put on your vintage cap (if it still fits you), and go on an adventure! 🧢 Hunting for 90s games is like playing Jumanji: you never know what you're going to get, but you're sure to have fun. And remember: if you find a Superman 64 cartridge, run. Run far and fast! 🏃‍♂️💨
