A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year from Indie Retro News [UPDATE]

Here we are again with another Christmas and what a year it has been, full of incredible indie games, new homebrews, and lots of lost and found retro specials that have amazed even our own writers thanks to Genesis Project, Hokuto Force or Laxity. From C64 games such as Charlie Chaplin, Red Baron 3000, Donkey Kong + (X2016 Version), Locators Synd, Hessian, Alien 8 and Pentagram, to the

It's Friday and it's retro gaming remix time!

Good morning you awesome people, have I got a musical retro gaming treat for you! As I was fixing my computer yesterday with a rather poor excuse for a pad by my side, I decided to go through some of the coolest gaming remixes available on Youtube and pick a number of them to be posted up on Indie Retro News. Many of these tracks will sound fantastic on not just an expensive hi-fi system but

Thankyou everyone - Computer Update

I would like to say from the bottom of my heart, I am massively grateful to all of you that came forward to help sort this computer situation out and to get Indie Retro News back up and running. Without you I would've been completely stuck and this site would've really suffered, probably only once or twice a week updates from a family computer. Some were even willing to donate their own

Bad news at the Indie Retro News HQ - RAIJINTEK TRITON

You may or may not have noticed the lack of articles yesterday but something terrible has happened. My sealed AIO cooling unit known as the RAIJINTEK TRITON has leaked its innards all over the Msi Gaming 5 motherboard, Asus Zonar soundcard and 980GTX graphics card. Upon closer inspection yesterday after hearing bubbling sounds, a large crack had appeared in the side of the block, forcing

Facebook Indie Retro News Account Hacked

You may have noticed the lack of updates to Facebook these last few days, that is because over the weekend our Facebook account was hacked. Thankfully there doesn't look to be any damage as such to the profile even with two step authorisation, but currently Facebook is playing hard ball and making it even more difficult to get this resolved as quick as possible. So expect a few more days down

Indie Retro News hits 30 million views - Time out!!

It's incredible to think that Indie Retro News was formed in 2012 and now in 2016, we have smashed the 30 million view count. But there comes a time when even the most hardy of writers needs a rest, and after writing pretty much non stop for nearly 4 years with only the odd weekend off and the odd Wednesday, I need to have a break. If I don't have a break, those early mornings and late nights

Indie Retro News RSS Feed - Taken down for the time being

Please note that during this week it has come to our attention that a number of sites have been stealing our write ups and claiming them as their own, while redirecting the links to less than safe products. It turned out however, it wasn't through the main site but through our RSS feed, pretty much word for word including pictures appeared elsewhere. This was most likely a BOT, but at the time
