About this app

Cartridge Bay is an offline guide to the world of retro gaming, bringing together arcade machines, 8-bit and 16-bit home consoles, handheld systems, and classic games in one easy-to-use catalog. Discover how the industry evolved through iconic titles, legendary platforms, and memorable gaming experiences.

Browse the catalog with search, tags, game condition filters, and dedicated tabs for all entries, favorites, and unread games. Open detailed pages to learn about release year, genre, player count, required hardware, release timeline, gameplay mechanics, ports, and later editions.

Save your favorite games for quick access, compare two titles side by side, and build your own Top 3 list by arranging your favorite games in the order you prefer. The Home screen highlights recently viewed entries, compatible titles, quick comparisons, and your personal ranking.

Challenge yourself with a sorting activity where you arrange five games by release year, difficulty, or rating. Review the correct order after every round together with explanations, then continue tracking your progress through unlocked genres, reading history, favorite games, achievements, and catalog statistics.

Cartridge Bay includes all content offline and requires no internet connection after installation. Your favorites, reading progress, personal Top 3, activity results, ratings, achievements, and statistics are stored only on your device with no registration, accounts, or cloud synchronization required.
