About

Welcome to RetroGamer Gen X, your home for everything retro gaming! From the Atari 2600 to the Commodore 64, NES, Game Gear, and beyond, let's explore the golden age of video games through deep dives into the history, hardware, and gameplay that defined a generation. In my “A Look At” series, I uncover the stories behind classic consoles, handhelds, and computers, including the tech that powered them and the marketing that made them iconic. Check out my “Console Vs. Console” videos for comparative real gameplay on original hardware. Are you into hardware? Well check out my Modding & Repair videos, where I restore and revive vintage systems to their former glory or even better. If you dig live Retro Game Streams, this is the place for you. All the classics on real hardware. If you love retro consoles, classic games, and the nostalgia of the 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit eras, you’re in the right place. Join the community that keeps retro gaming history alive, one pixel at a time!
