A retrogamer is a gamer preferring playing and collecting retro games - older video games and arcade games. They may also be called classic gamers or old-school gamers, which are terms that are more prevalent in the United States. The games are played either on the original hardware, on modern hardware via console emulation, or on modern hardware via ports or compilations.

Get the Retrogamer mug.A gamer that plays nothing or (almost nothing) but older video-games, before Playstation or Nintendo 64.
Most retrogamers don't play more modern video-games because most of them now have an obbession with good looking graphics.

A Photoshop Portal made in the same design of Newgrounds by a NG user named, bedn. The point of the site is to submit photoshops, pictures you have taken,sigs, or site designs created by YOU. If you find a funny picture and submit it and are caught you will be flagged by users and you will be banned from the site. You can vote on photoshops sent into the portal. If they get a low enough score they won't stay on the site. On the forums you get "money" for posts and can buy various things making your posts fancy. All users get their own profile that you can keep favorite authors or photoshops or leave small messages on other users profiles. Retrogade is mostly NG users and are going their to escape too much of Newgrounds.
Bedn: I made a site that looks like Newgrounds for Photoshops called Retrogade!
DirtySyko: Sweet! I need a break from NG.
-TheBhudist-: Yeah, I'm great at Photoshops!

Get the Retro Gamer mug.Retrogade is a community for all artists, designers, programmers, & entrepreneurs. Showcase art, collaborate, critique work & share useful tutorials/resources.
Retrogade has a very rich history of ups and downs.
Founded in 2004, it was based off of the popular website Newgrounds. Except instead of flash movies, it was intended to be for art. It drew in a community of about 1000 users. A very small community who became very passionate for Retrogade and it's user-base.
In 2007, the website started to suffer. The upkeep for the growing website soon became the downfall. The website died due to lack of funding and the user-base disbanded. Some stuck around Newgrounds however finding a full-time programmer was an issue.
Now 2011, production has been full-steam ahead. The ground work of the forums and design have been established.
