Recommended Retro Gaming Websites

I'll start off with one I learned about the other day which may come in handy!

Until I chanced upon a Twitch stream the other night, I was oblivious to this site which is a godsend for retro PC gaming on Windows 10:

https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home

Essentially a lot of retro game fixes both visual or performance mods, mostly compatible with original, GOG or Steam purchases.

Just wondered if anyone has other recommended bookmarks regardless of hardware (consoles, PC) which we can share?

Anandtech has hardware reviews from the late 90s onwards which is useful for picking your hardware! Just go to the last page of CPU / GPU / Motherboard section.

https://www.play-old-pc-games.com/

Clue is in the title of the site. It's been around for a few years and still updating.

Is https://www.vogons.org/ welcome? Love that place, seeing all the old hardware people buy.

I binned all my nineties PC magazines during a house move many years ago (along with my big box games) and still to this day regret. I have managed to re-buy most games but magazines not so.

PC Zone was PC gaming for me! When I stumbled across this website where the author is painstakingly scanning copies! :eek:

If you were a fan of the original PC Zone magazine for ultimate nineties nostalgia:

Also guides for Ultima games etc. Awesome little website for the retro gamer and I would like to buy the author a pint!
