Donate Your Gaming System

HCLS accepts vintage games and video gaming consoles to preserve access to older games and make them accessible to the community. Many video game platforms and media are at risk of being lost to time. Help us curate a video gaming library for future generations of gamers to enjoy!

Donate your games, hardware, and accessories older than 2005, especially:

  • Lesser known platforms and non-Nintendo handhelds

  • Gaming systems in need of repair

  • Physical games/media, controllers, cables, memory cards—everything you have that you no longer want!
