About

RetroRGB.com is a website with corresponding YouTube, Podcast and social media accounts dedicated to highlighting the people and projects in the retro gaming scene.  The main section of the website is a review and news blog, however we also feature interviews, modding guides and a weekly podcast that sums up everything that’s been going on in the scene.
Since “RetroRGB 3.0” launched as a blog, the website has taken on contributors from all over the world;  People with love and passion for retro games and hardware, who contribute their knowledge and experience to help spread the word of all the amazing projects out there.  Many of the contributions on RetroRGB are in the form of written posts and if you’d like to learn more about the writer, please click on their name in the heading to learn more about them.  Some people contribute solely as a hobby, while others create content for a living and rely on your support to continue.  Please check their bio’s to learn more about them and consider contributing, or even just spreading the word.

We’ll also try to find more ways to highlight the people working on behind-the-scenes projects as well, as their work is essential to keeping the site going and is often the most time-consuming.  Recognition for their work is often a shoutout in a video, or a mention in a post…but that’s not enough and we’ll get better at highlighting the community that keeps this all going!

Bob started this site with his Cousin Scott in late 2011;  The site was originally a shared Google Doc that they thought “a few friends” might be interested in, but after a suggestion from Scott became RetroRGB.  Bob’s career has been filled with jobs that focused on sales engineering, tech writing and computer hardware design, making the challenges of RetroRGB’s guides a perfect fit.

Greg Collins’ 3D print work has become a bit famous in the retro-gaming scene. Its often joked that he’s “saving our consoles, one piece of plastic at a time!”, as his work allows for many #notcutmods, as well as some downright cool designs. He contributes installation guides and design files to this site, as well as runs his own web store.

 

On top of our regular contributors, we’ve had some excellent “guest submissions” from some amazing people in the community and anyone is welcome to contribute:  Full guides, small news posts and anything in between!  RetroRGB has grown to be “by the retro-gaming community, for the retro-gaming community” and all are welcome!
