How would you describe your retro gaming content to someone discovering you for the first time?
I create retro gaming content that’s all about reliving those childhood memories—simple, joyful, and unapologetically nostalgic.
People can expect honest thoughts, quick impressions, and reviews that come from genuine time spent with the games—not just hype.
At the end of the day, I’m here for that “pure retro fun” feeling, and I want my audience to feel it right along with me.
If you had to introduce your channel with one clip, which moment would you pick—and why does it represent your style?
The clip is from Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and I chose it because the game’s visuals are genuinely stunning and cinematic.
It’s also set in India, which makes it feel instantly familiar and relatable—especially for the audience I’m building here.
For me, it’s the perfect example of what I love sharing: great moments, strong atmosphere, and games that connect with people beyond just gameplay.
What does your gaming setup look like when you’re ready to play—and what makes it perfect for retro sessions?
My setup is a mix of modern convenience and retro comfort, built around devices I can grab quickly and actually use every day.
I use an RGB controller/gamepad for PC gaming, a Miyoo Mini Plus for classic 90s-era titles, and a Steam Deck when I want a more powerful portable experience without losing that “pick up and play” feeling.
On the collector side, I’ve got a PS4 Yakuza games collection that’s getting rare to find now, plus my Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP from 2003—which is special because I’ve had it since the early days and it still feels like a piece of my gaming history.
Which console, handheld, or controller is your current favorite—and what do you love about using it?
Right now my favorite handheld is the Anbernic RG28XX, mainly because it’s compact and genuinely easy to carry anywhere.
It’s the kind of device I can pull out for a quick session—no big setup, no friction—just straight into that retro gaming mood.
For me, it’s perfect for short breaks and travel, and it keeps retro gaming feeling casual, fun, and always within reach.
Is there a game in your collection that feels especially rare or emotionally important to you?
This one takes me back because my love for gaming really began when I received a Game Boy Color as a kid.
It wasn’t just another gift—it felt like being handed an entire world I could explore, and I still remember the excitement of playing it every day.
That moment became the foundation of my gaming journey, and even now it still means a lot to me whenever I look back at where it all started.
Walk us through how you turn raw gameplay into a finished post—what changes between “before” and “after”?
In the first clip, it’s just the raw gameplay as it was recorded—no extra layers, no storytelling, and no polishing.
In the edited version, I add my voice-over to guide the viewer, plus background music and effects to make the pacing feel tighter and more entertaining.
That “after” version is where the content becomes my style: clearer energy, better flow, and a more complete experience for the audience.
What’s a clip that captures your real on-mic commentary style—whether it’s funny, intense, or informative?
In this clip, I’m breaking down a topic my audience asks about a lot: why original retro consoles can be so expensive in India.
My commentary style here is more informative and conversational—I like explaining things clearly, like I’m talking to a friend who’s just getting into the hobby.
I try to keep it grounded and practical, while still making it engaging enough that people want to stick around and learn something new.
Take us behind the scenes—what does your recording and editing process look like day to day?
Whenever I’m creating a video, I start by standing in front of the mic and recording my commentary using my Samsung phone, paired with a wireless microphone so the audio stays clean.
After that, I edit the content using apps like Instagram Edits or YouCut, where I tighten the pacing and shape the final feel of the video.
Once it’s ready, I usually post to Instagram first to see how the audience responds, and then a couple of days later I upload the same video to YouTube as well.
How did your retro gaming journey begin—what was the first console or game that truly pulled you in?
My retro gaming journey really started when I received a Game Boy Color as a child.
It was a gift, but it felt like something bigger than that—like a doorway into a whole new world I could carry in my hands.
I played it constantly, and that early excitement became the foundation of my love for gaming, which is still strong today.
Was there a specific moment when you thought, “I should actually start creating retro gaming content”?
I had that moment when I realized how rare retro gaming content still is in India, and how much space there is for someone to build it with real passion.
Retro games kept giving me this pure joy that modern games don’t always deliver in the same way, and I wanted to share that feeling with other people.
Through my channel, my goal is simple: help people rediscover how fun—and how special—retro gaming really is.
In what ways have you evolved as a creator over the years—whether it’s editing, storytelling, collecting, or community?
Over time, I’ve grown on multiple levels: my editing has become cleaner, my gameplay feels more confident, and I’m much more focused when it comes to storytelling and structure.
I’ve also learned how to present retro games in a way that connects with today’s audience, even if they didn’t grow up with the originals.
And honestly, building a small but passionate community has been one of the best parts—people who truly appreciate the niche keep me motivated to improve and keep going.
