Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know that after receiving several requests, I have created a Retro Game Corps Patreon page.
My goal with this website is to bring 100% FREE content to anyone who wants it. For this reason, I am not creating any perks for becoming a Patron of my website and channel; in other words, no content is held back from non-Patrons. All proceeds will go towards supporting this website (paying webhosting and domain fees, storage space, etc.), and investing in new devices and equipment to bring more content to everyone.
Thank you all for your continued support with my platform. I started this website just a few months ago because I grew frustrated with trying to find guides for retro handheld consoles, and at some point I said to myself, “why don’t I just make a site?” — and here we are. I’m immensely proud and in awe of everyone’s enthusiasm for this unique niche of video gaming.
If you’re not interested in joining my Patreon page, but you want to support this site, I have also created a buyer’s guide which has my recommended online stores for retro handheld devices and accessories. Some of these stores have affiliate links, which provides me with a small commission on any purchase you make, at no additional cost to you.
More soon,
Russ
