QUESTION: WHAT IS IN THE BOX? ANSWER: IT IS OLD GAMES

Loot boxes have become a bit of a thing, we've noticed. If you're not aware what a loot box is, here is a description of what they is: you pay a subscription fee, and every month a box turns up that contains a load of old tat/excellent stuff.

We enjoy receiving parcels. We also enjoy receiving (nice) surprises (please: no "wet willies"). Frankly, it's a miracle we haven't yet subscribed to a loot crate. Then again... do they do loot crates which contain nothing but crisps and moisturiser? We enjoy both those things.

Now here is a loot crate service of which we wholeheartedly approve: retro games. 

FEE WILLY
For an undisclosed monthly fee, My Retro Game Box will send its subscribers a crate containing "usually three" mystery retro games, based upon your old console preferences. As they're second-hand games, you can't guarantee you'll be getting mint, boxed copies with manuals, but we suspect that's part of the fun. Everyone likes other people's germs, right?

If you don't have an old console, you'll be able to buy one from My Retro Game Box's console store; you'll be able to choose from a variety of Game Boys, Nintendo and Sega systems.

Unfortunately, My Retro Game Box are not currently accepting new subscribers, but you'll be able to strap your name into their mailing list, and they'll drop you a line when the subscriber list becomes open again. If you're interested, that is. If you're not interested... well... whatever, yeah.

I *think* they were about the thirty quid a month mark, which for three decent games isn't too bad, really. Could likely find better deals yourself but then they wouldn't be a surprise, would they?

True that. Although a lot of retro games you can find for under a fiver. I guess if you have the money to burn them it's a nice surprise.

"Usually three"? Is this in case ebay/the local charity shop/car boot sale runs out of games they can get for a couple of quid?
