Silicon was not enough. When the money from Doom started pouring into Texas, John Carmack did not seek luxury; he sought the physical limit of matter. Velocity was not an abstract concept to be confined inside a cathode-ray tube monitor. […]
The world is not a good place and it has not been so for a long time. Let irony do its work. Two things happened this week and they are things that remain. Memorable. The first is that MaybeGrifis and […]
The real magic of an Easter egg surprise is the perfect metaphor for what might be inside: that sense of anticipation that builds excitement in the days leading up to it—much like the imagined “power” of future gaming consoles. It’s […]
A wise man once said that alcohol is the lubricant of society. We believe it represents the ‘oil of code,’ where the gears begin to turn more smoothly, leading to more fluid solutions. It’s a perfect alchemy that, between a […]
It was 1995. I was 13 years old and, besides trying to pop wheelies on my bicycle (usually very badly), I had another serious problem. My frustration at not being able to play Daytona USA on my infamous 486DX4 100 […]
Darkness Falls is online. And rightly so, the world will ask: “What is it?” The world is right to ask. The truth is that we have governed our VPS in a barbaric fashion. A brutal exercise, disrespectful and void of […]
We’ve released a new version of the app. This time we might finally get rid of the ghost of the login bug.We’ve added the visual quiz, and over the next few days I’ll start adding more questions. We’ve also changed […]
Finally, after so much rain, the sun is shining again. Today, more than ever, I feel like it’s the height of summer, and it makes me want to look back on a wonderful game that accompanied our youth and made […]
We finally managed to carve out some time — stolen from crashes, broken states, and the quiet dread of debugging — to restore a bit of dignity to our app. Between fixes and stability work (because, frankly, it used to […]
When retrogaming runs through your veins, even your dreams lead you to imagine games that should exist but never did in reality. Last night I dreamed of going out to buy a Sega Master System 2 and picking up Sonic […]
Here we are again. We’re DarkNoiSe and MaybeGrifis, sitting at a table placed there for no real reason, under a light that forgives no one. We’ve done new things—at least things that feel new to us in the great desert […]
New year, and here we are again, drifting through the same void. We have dragged the carcass of this site onto our own VPS. It cost us blood and silicon. We navigated through the wreckage of collapsed Apache servers and […]
The first article of the year I want to talk about is the science-fiction masterpiece created by Éric Chahi: Another World. On New Year’s Eve, during a family dinner, I went back to my old bedroom where I keep my […]
When we wake up in the morning and step into the bathroom, we all see a box of cotton swabs.But for a true retrogaming enthusiast, it’s impossible not to think of the genius of Ron Gilbert and his wonderful creation, […]
What did you find under the tree, RetroGaming warriors?Do you remember the battles of past Christmases—Sonic vs. Mario, Monkey Island 2 vs. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and so on?But today I want to remind you of a […]
Merry Christmas from DarkGrifis, and above all from Retrogek!This has been a year in which we created a brand-new cocktail with unique ingredients:a glass of passion, a spoonful of emotions, a pinch of the unexpected, a whole tank of smiles, […]
In the 1990s, the Super Nintendo and the Mega Drive ruled the gaming scene, and just in time for Christmas, a game that would later become a cult classic was released on these wonderful consoles. We’re talking about Daze Before […]
The other day I watched Top Gun again (and then rewatched the sequel released a few years ago), and of course it made me want to step into Maverick’s shoes through a retro game. My choice fell on DOS with […]
Retrogek is back, stronger than ever!We had a wonderful little Ape loaded with blocks of Carrara marble, struggling uphill. I think it’s the perfect metaphor for the unexpected challenges of retrogaming!We keep dreaming and evolving — but now, with a […]
Who doesn’t remember Ghostbusters, the iconic film released in 1984?And who could forget the Ecto-1 — the legendary 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Ambulance, a stunning blend of an ambulance and a hearse, customized in true “professional” style for the era! I […]
