I guess that’s why they say hindsight is 2020.Īnd ever since interrupting music blahg updates with some video game posts, I’ve been noticing that my most visited website pages, month after month, were my blog posts about retro video gaming, and most of those visits were coming from Google’rs.

And once one goes down the online retro video gaming rabbit hole, one eventually realizes that one could have been playing any old retro video game right on one’s old iMac the whole time. This was heavily influenced by me ordering a Sega Mini to hook up to the tv I won at a Super Bowl party right before the world went on a never-ending lockdown quarantine, but the thing that really kicked the new hobby up a notch was realizing that that little Sega Mini could be hacked to add any old retro video game from any old retro video game console.

As I mentioned in my ‘Top 25 Sega Genesis Games’ + ‘ Top 25 Super Nintendo Games’ + ‘ Top 25 PS1 Games’ + ‘ Top 25 NES Games’ + ‘ Top 25 GBA Games’ + ‘ Top 25 TurboGrafx-16 Games’ + ‘ Top 25 Game Boy / Game Boy Color Games’, 2020 was the year I got back into playing retro video games from my youth (or, more accurately, games that came out when I was a youth).
