@ Where to begin...Isn't there enough places on the internet doing retro game reviews. One of my favorite things around is Spoony's reviews of like Ultima and Final Fantasy.

And I think that is where the internet really shines where print magazines and just regular blogs can't, is the retro games we have forgotten.
