EU ZONE SALES - IMPORTANT

It is with regret that I have now stopped sending items direct to EU ZONE countries. In the past months, I have had multiple items returned to me, as uncollected, taxes unpaid at the destination country, or just returned by customs for no reason.

HOWEVER - There is good news...

There is a workaround whereby, if you message me with your games requirements, I can create a unique listing on EBAY especially for you and send you the link, and their Global Shipping Programme will handle the shipping, customs clearance, taxes etc.

Yes, this can be expensive, especially if you buy just one item, but if you are buying for example 4+ cassettes in one transaction, it doesn't work out too expensive. The rates are set by EBAY depending on your location, and I have no control over the cost. All items are tracked with all tax prepaid, so nothing to worry about.

Non-EU European countires such as Norway, Switzerland, Iceland etc., and the rest of the world are not affected and can buy on the website as normal.

SOFTOGRAPHY
I'm working on making a list of all CRONOSOFT's softography since we started in 2002.
This is a large task, as I didn't keep a record of all releases, lost the master artwork to some, didn't keep records of variants. I didn't even keep copies for myself. Therefore, this is very much a work in progress, and only about 25% complete so far. More to come, but feel free to take a look...
