Hi, I’m Kevin and I’m the creator behind RetroActive! RetroActive is a retro gaming focused web show and blog that focuses on informative and relaxed reviews of classic video games and hidden gems. I mostly talk about retro games from the 8-bit era when Nintendo was king, all the way to the Gamecube, Xbox, and Playstation 2. By day I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, and general marketing person.
Tips are always appreciated!
