More Navigation Improvements

While the last round of improvements saw better navigation for game home pages and save file pages, this next upgrade will be applied to guides, reviews, and cheat/password pages. The premise will be the same for the most part, since it is just a simple bar with links to the home page and game catalog for each title.

That said, the new system will only be applied to newly added titles for the time being. There’s hundreds of pages that could use this upgrade, but I want to focus on adding to the site for a while. With any luck I’ll slowly start converting older pages this winter.

Nintendo 64 Added to the Save Archive

It seems like I have a lot of announcements to make lately. This time, it’s for something that’s probably long overdue: Nintendo 64 save files! You can find any saves we have for N64 in the Save Archive or on Home Pages for specific games. Right now we only have saves for one title, but that will change in the near future. Here’s a direct link to the N64 save file list:

Why We Collect User Data

Earlier today I posted a notice about the GDPR opt outs that appear on this site for UK and EU visitors. The subject got me thinking about why I collect any data at all and made me realize I should explain the situation a bit in case anyone cares.

In a nutshell RetroMaggedon.com uses Google Adsense and Analytics. I use Adsense to help keep the lights on (so to speak) since servers cost money. Analytics is just there to help me figure out what pages people use. The info I get from both services is very vague, at least on my end, and I do not release or sell data to any entities aside from Google. Acting in good faith to our visitors is very important to me and the other people involved in this project, so I hope this clarifies the matter a bit.

GDPR Compliance

Visitors from the UK and Europe will receive a pop up message giving them the option to opt out of our adsense data collection. This message should appear only once. Please be aware that this site collects very little data aside from Adsense and Google Analytics. Even then the info we have access to is very limited. Visitors are welcome to leave questions about privacy in the comments below or via email.

We now have a PSP section!

A section for PlayStation Portable games has been added to the Game Catalog. Right now the site only has cheats for a few games, but I plan on adding guides and reviews to this section in the future. I will also add a lot more cheats as the month closes, so be on the look out for more PSP content. A direct link to the PSP page can be found below.
