Retrogames.com is nothing other than a passion project of mine. When I have the time I am constantly changing and updating the content. I try to add anywhere from 2 – 4 games into the database each day. Each time you log into the site you are always greeted with the latest additions on the home page. I cover ANY game but there is emphasis here on adventure games and computer role-playing games.
There are a number of ways that you can search for games and I urge you to experiment. My CRPG Quest continues on at a healthy pace and you can see the newest blog posts on the sidebar to the right in the picture above. One of the questions I am frequently asked is if there is an easier to go back and read the blog posts in chronological order. The answer now is a resounding yes!
Now from the home page of the site you can click on Read the Blog Posts in Chronological Order and it will take you to a page that looks like this:
I spent time developing a page that allows you to see each of the blog titles and they are listed in chronological order. You can see to the right that you can click on and go immediately to any one of the posts that might interest you or you can choose to take your time and read them in order. I also posted the date that each post was published as well.
When you’re finished with a post if you have a comment or something you’d like to add, I strongly encourage you to participate. Nothing would please me more than to have a robust discussion on each of the games as I historically move through each of the games by order of publication date.
I have also created a Discord server that can be accessed from the front page of the website.
I do have a special request. I am looking for someone who is a little tech savvy. I am not the most technologically proficient which is a problem when trying to get one of these older games to play on a particular emulator. There are a handful of games that I know would run with some proper “tweaking” but I am looking for someone to problem solve a couple of these and then help me with step by step instructions on how to get to work. For example; I can’t get Dragon & the Princess to run with the translation patch. I also can’t get House of Usher to run under the Atari emulator as another example. I would love some help in that area with the small handful of games I have not been able to cover due to technical reasons. If you wouldn’t mind reaching out, if you’re reading this and interested in helping, I can be more specific. I would be extremely grateful.
Progress update: I am currently playing DeathMaze 5000 and I am quite impressed with this little gem. I am hoping I have a breakthrough and will be able to finish it this week. I am still working on a post covering my recent Danger in Drindisti play through and I should have that up soon. I also finished compiling the list of games that I plan on covering from 1983 and I’ll be sharing that shortly as well.
I hope that you are well and you are able to take time for YOU and to get some gaming in. Once again thanks for reading me and I look forward to future discourse with you on games and gaming.
If no one else has offered technical assistance, then feel free to reach out to me and I’ll see what I can do to help. You can contact me via my website.
Thank you William I appreciate the offer. I will most certainly be reaching out when I need help. I hope you and your family have a happy holiday and now I’ve made a note here to check out your blog
I am also covering the first RPGs on my website (currently 1980), and I always give detailed instructions on how to play them (I also cover the different emulators).
The only problem is that my website is in Spanish, but maybe you can find something useful there with automatic translators, or you can ask me what you want and I will try to answer you in English.
Gracias! Seriously I appreciate that. If I have an emulator problem I will reach out to you. Glad to see you here thank you for stopping by and looking forward to your future comments
