All About Retro Secret

Bringing back memories by reliving the amazing retro games from the 70s, 80s and 90s

We’re passionate about preserving the nostalgia and joy of retro gaming for generations to come.

Our retro gaming console collection

Hi, I’m Dean, and welcome to Retro Secret!

Retro Secret is a one-stop destination for all things retro gaming.

We provide in-depth reviews of classic games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as helpful guides on how to get the most out of your vintage consoles.

Those games that were played during simpler, easier times, with friends of old and relatives that may no longer be with us.

The memories of the arcade halls with players bashing buttons for fun, and joysticks smashing against their casing trying to get Ryu to do another Hadoken, or Donatello to fend off a never ending army of Shredder’s goons.

We’ll take you on a trip down memory lane with our expertly curated content and reviews.

Everything you see here on Retro Secret has been written by us retro gaming enthusiasts.

We don’t outsource our editorial content, and we do not use AI to produce it either (see our Anti AI Policy for full details).

Like, for example, all photographs on this page and almost all the photos you will see throughout this site are our own photographs of our own retro consoles and our own retro game collection.

Our aim is to create a retro gaming community, welcoming of everyone, to join together to share stories and high scores, reminisce about times gone by, and ultimately play the titles we had almost forgotten.

We will be expanding our content across different social media platforms, including Instagram (coming soon) and have some very very exciting news which we hope to announce during Q4!

Game Boy at Retro Secret

Retro gaming is much more than plugging in a game and controlling a pixel character around different worlds.

These were immersive worlds that we all lived within.

It didn’t matter if we were flying around the Universe of Elite on the ZX Spectrum with nothing but a black and white wireframe background depicting planets and spacecraft, or fully completing an ultimate Lords of Midnight campaign with rendered block graphics on the Commodore 64, or even staying up all night to complete 100 levels of Gauntlet 2 on the Amiga 500.

These games meant everything to us and were as real as any game played today.

We can’t travel back in time to experience those memories of the past, but we can once again forget about day to day life and re-absorb ourselves into those magical worlds we lived in once upon a time ago.

At Retro Secret we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk.

We own a number of retro consoles including the Sega Master System, Sony PS1, Sony PSP, Gameboy, Nintendo DS, Playstation 3 etc… this collection, and our retro games are ever expanding.

We also delve into the world of emulator gaming such as the Retropie, the RG351P and Evercade as well as the exciting roster of new consoles, and homebrew retro games in the pipeline for next year and beyond.

Retro gaming is our world, and we want to share this world with you.
