Retro Gaming News
Det finns något nostalgiskt över att tänka på hur spel såg ut för bara tjugo år sedan. Arkadhallar med blinkande skärmar, pokerkvällar runt köksbordet med vänner, och de fysiska kasinona med sina karakteristiska ljud av spelautomater och tärningar mot grönfiltade bord. Men precis som videospelsindustrin genomgick en dramatisk transformation när internet slog igenom på allvar,…
Retro gaming… that’s just video games, right? Well, actually, no! Okay, okay, so most of the content here on our site does tend to focus on old-school consoles, arcade cabinets, and a seemingly never-ending debate about whether Doom still holds up or not in 2026, but there’s a lot more to retro gaming than that….
“I don’t understand why you continue to use AI-generated video adverts”. Commodore’s much-discussed Callback 8020 flip phone goes up for pre-order today, and, according to the company’s new CEO, Christian Simpson, the reaction to the phone has “surpassed” expectations.

The story of JRPG music begins in that same ironic place so many JRPG stories begin, with Final Fantasy for the NES in 1987. After initially being thrown into the game without much explanation, the four warriors of light are rewarded with a bridge to take them further on their quest. But it’s not just…
“We aim to launch two types of hardware”. We’ve been speaking exclusively to Işık Şekercigil, the man behind the recently reported revival of The 3DO Company, and he tells Time Extension that one of his long-term goals is to return to the hardware arena that originally birthed the brand. Back in the early ’90s, The…
This time over an air freshener, of all things. A short while back, Sega’s upcoming Crazy Taxi reboot earned some rather off-putting headlines over its disclosed use of GenAI – something the company later tried to walk back on, claiming that everything in the final product would be “original” and any AI-generated assets were merely…
Nintendo DS is also in the company’s plans. Epilogue’s family of cartridge readers is set to expand, with the company confirming that it is currently working on a device for the N64. The GB Operator and SN Operator are portable cartridge readers which allow you to dump game data, preserve save files, check for legit…
…but there are more questions than answers.
