Radpage - MSX_POCKY's home of retro game coverage
Click the icons above to access my reviews of SEGA console and arcade games and retro Macintosh and Windows games.
I'm MSX and I love retro games. Collecting original consoles is my hobby and I'm fascinated by seeing how games evolve over decades of development. I created Radpage to document some of my findings and thoughts of various arcade games, console games and classic Mac games that I play, obscure or not. Arcade games can often be easily forgotten, especially if they never had official home console ports, as is the same for older Mac games which are difficult to get running on modern hardware, which is a shame as there's some wonderful gems in there! Additionally I desired to make a site reminiscent of the many fan sites I browsed as a kid, something unique with a sense of the personality of the person who put it together, something so commonly lost on social media sites. I hope you enjoy your stay here at the Radpage!
