Hey all,

Found this place while digging around for communities that still take written reviews seriously. The retro review archives here are something else.

Bit about me: I got into freestyle rap a few months ago, kept freezing whenever a beat dropped, and ended up building a little browser game to practice with. Words fall bar by bar in time with the beat and you have to land the rhyme. It is free and runs in the browser, if anyone wants to laugh at my taste in beats.

Gaming-wise I am mostly retro. SNES and PS1 stuff. Looking forward to reading more reviews here.

Cheers,
MC

Welcome and hope you enjoy reading all the retro reviews!

The community is not as bustling as it used to be, but you'll get an idea of their personalities, former and current, through their reviews submitted over the years and decades. Sometimes you'll get a really in-depth detailed review, sometimes you'll get something more personal, and other times you'll discover something weird and quirky.

I heard spaceshit noises.

Thanks! That's exactly why I stuck around - some of these reviews read like time capsules. Been going through the PS1 RPG section and the spread in tone between reviewers is half the fun.

And I believe the spaceship noises. This place has that energy.

(Chrono Cross is still awful.)

For us. For them. For you.

Sounds like you're about my age. Glad to welcome another review enthusiast!

(Well yes, but the music is amazing.)

Someone told me that you're worth it.

I believe them.

Ha, fair enough on Chrono Cross - though I see the soundtrack defense squad is already here. And thanks hastypixels! SNES was my first console, so the retro bias runs deep. Working through the PS1 RPG review backlog here at a pace of about one era per evening. No regrets.
