\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>One year ago, on October 26, 2017, RetroGameResource.com was born. After years of pussy-footing around and coming up with excuses on why I can&#8217;t have a gaming site, I developed the testicular fortitude to share my story and love of all things gaming.<\/p>\n<p>I had an itch for long-form video game reviews, that was not being scratched, so I decided to finally execute and do it myself.<\/p>\n<p>My goal with the site evolved over the year, from simply creating the best reviews I could with my limited experience, to giving <i>my story <\/i>in each and every one of the reviews, providing context for my feelings towards a game.<\/p>\n<p>As time went on, I decided to expand the subject matter, to personal gaming stories removed from the confines of a review, hardware reviews, and strategies for dealing with the overwhelming back log most adult gamer&#8217;s will undoubtedly wrestle with.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the sites stats and comments on Reddit and RacketBoy, I can tell my fan-base is incredibly loyal, despite not being large.<\/p>\n<p>As a thank you, I would like to announce two major contests opening today:<\/p>\n<h1>1. Anniversary Giveaway<\/h1>\n<p><u>Grand Prize:<\/u> One NEW video game of your choice, value up to $70 USD.<\/p>\n<p><u>Consolation Prize:<\/u> 10 free entries into next years anniversary contest.<\/p>\n<p><u>FAQs:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><i>Why must it be new?:<\/i> I can&#8217;t be responsible for counterfeiters or damage done to used games for the purposes of the contest.<\/p>\n<p><i>What if my game is cheaper than $70 dollars?<\/i>: You can get more than one game, BUT the maximum amount of games you can get is 2 ( to avoid people getting a ton of $5 games making the purchase unweildy). The total AFTER taxes and shipping must be LESS than $70<\/p>\n<p><i>If I spend less than $70 what will happen?:<\/i> $70 is just a cushion for taxes and shipping, so it would just be unused. If you really want all $70 I can give a $70 gift card to Steam or Amazon, but you have to at least buy one game (on your honor).<\/p>\n<p><i>What about the consolation prize?<\/i>: the 2nd place winner will be entered into next years contest with 10 free entries.<\/p>\n<p><u>To Enter:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>1. <b>5 entries: <\/b>Leave a non-spammy comment on any article on this site.
