Retro Gaming News Aggregator

Post by shwisha »

Hey people! It's been a little over a year since I got obsessed with retro gaming. In the past year I got an; nes, snes, genesis, saturn, atari and a ton of games. I subscribe to a lot of retro gaming news feeds including racketboy and decided to work on a site to do just that for everyone else. So I created http://abadox.net/ - I would love to get feedback from the racketboy forums. You can see what sites I'm pulling from on the sources form. Please feel free to suggest any new sources. Feel free to submit your own news articles as well.

Thanks, in advanced. :D

Found it at the bottom of the page:

http://abadox.net/feed/


Can you add like a feed button somewhere on the right sidebar or in the header so it is easier to spot.

Thanks for your work. I've registered and will be submitting some requested sites here soon.

**UPDATE**

Updated the sources I'm including and broke them into categories. If it covers a range of Retro Gaming systems it's just under the general retro category.

http://abadox.net/sources/

Please feel free to recommend any more sources. I'm also going to include youtube channels in the video category. Currently I just have the Classic Game Room channel.

I hope some of you will get involved and vote on your favorite posts. To see the latest headlines go here: http://abadox.net/most-recent/

As more people get involved I'm thinking of giving away prizes to the top contributors.

THANKS!

I wanted to thank those who have been helping out with abadox.net... we're three weeks old now and growing.

For those of you who haven't checked out the site yet it's basically a digg/reddit for retro gaming news. I've been working hard to make sure I'm pulling in the best retro gaming news stories... please let me know if there is a source I'm missing.

Also we're having a contest till the end of November. The top 3 users that help the growth of abadox.net will win a gift certificate to jjgames.com. More information about the contest.
