The story of GamingRetro goes back to 2017, and the creation of a Facebook page, Retro Gaming World. Launched just before the retro gaming revival got going, the page quickly built a following.
Editor Christian Cawley had been looking for a new website idea after moving on from (and selling) a TV show fansite. As a fan of retro gaming, the page had really been set up for him to keep tabs on interesting links.
It became apparent that a whole website could potentially be built around the idea. So in 2020, Gaming Retro UK was launched, and the Facebook page renamed to match. Since that time, various writers have contributed to the site’s collection of reviews, lists, features, and guides.
What do we publish on GamingRetro?
The main purpose of GamingRetro is to provide reviews, retro gaming user guides, and thoughts and opinions about retro gaming.
