Back in 2015, a younger tankMage thought it would be good to make a website dedicated to reviewing forgotten and lesser known video games. Back then, I did not have detailed plans for the scope of this project or its timescale. Reviews lead to me writing guides, testing cheats, sharing passwords, and creating an archive of save files. I have also met and worked with a few really good people along the way.
I wanted to share a picture of Grandia, the very first game I reviewed, for this post and ended up scrolling through thousands of pictures of games, many of which I personally covered. It’s difficult to explain the mixture of joy and nostalgia I felt while going through those images. They reminded me of why I do this. Ultimately, this site is a tiny island in a massive ocean which is only found by a few people. If you’re reading this, Retromaggedon.com exists for you. My sole mission was to give the select few who had interest in old games and the patience to actually read about them a place where they could find information.
I have always tried to be honest and do the best I can in creating resources for retro video games, because I believe fans deserve something genuine. I hope I have served you well and that this site is here ten years from now. Thank you.
