About Us

Founded in 2023 in Amsterdam, Retro Labs began with two friends and a shared obsession with gaming, especially the classics we grew up on. For us, games were never just a way to pass time. They were weekend rituals, late-night laughs, and the spark that pushed us to create.

We started Retro Labs with one simple mission: to bring back the joy of retro gaming in a way that feels fresh and easy for today’s players. Our products are built to capture that nostalgic spark, while also delivering modern performance, reliability, and style.


Our Story

We spent countless hours with pixel art worlds, chiptune soundtracks, and split-screen rivalries. Those memories shaped who we are—and Retro Labs is our way of sharing that feeling with a new generation, while giving long-time fans the best way to revisit their favorites.

From handhelds to thoughtful accessories, every Retro Labs product is designed with care, tested for quality, and infused with the same excitement we felt the first time we pressed Start.
