Welcome to Retro-Sanctuary this website was started on March the 25th 2008 to provide quality info on all things retro, from the Atari 2600 right up until the Dreamcast, I intend to have a quality reviews section which will have not only my own writing but details of scores received from popular publications of the time, a forum where like minded individuals can talk about the good old days, as well as this I intend to write many interesting features, including top 100 lists and game comparisons and to provide a general all-around quality retro service.

03/06/2010: Just noticed I haven't updated this news feed in a while, Wonder Boy/Adventure Island Comparison, Zombies Ate my Neighbours Comparison, Cool Spot Comparison, Double Dragon Comparison

24/03/2010: Addams Family Comparison, Lion King Comparison, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel comparison. Unfortunately I've had some major setbacks with the forum recently which cut into my output somewhat.

02/02/2010: Just finished an Ys III: Wanderers From Ys comparison which is here

27/01/2010: Its back to business as usual here, I didn't get quite as much done as I'd hoped, and it took a bit longer than I thought it would but the main things I wanted to improve in the site I've managed to get done (ie made a new banner, replaced some of the low quality JPEG's improved the Earthworm Jim comparison, and made updated top 100's for the Mega Drive and NES)

13/11/2009: I've finally finished my Top 100 SNES games feature which is here, and with that I'm pretty much ending my output of new features for the rest of the year, for the remaining time I've decided to overhaul the site, correcting mistakes with the articles, improving the way the site looks and replacing some of the low quality pictures I used for the earlier features, so don't be surprised if a few things suddenly change around here. Bye till next year!

03/10/2009: Small notification, updated the 3rd generation Shoot-em-ups feature to bring it more in line quality wise with the 16-bit one.

11/09/2009: Just added this feature on 4th Generation Scrolling Shoot-em-ups

11/08/2009: Bonks Adventure/BC Kid Comparison, Sunset Riders Comparison, Street Fighter II Turbo Comparison. If anyone's worried that i'm winding down working on the site then don't :) I've been caught up researching the PC-Engine's game library and brushing up on my RPG knowledge recently.

I thought I'd better update this section for anyone not regularly checking the forums, Rodland comparison, Cybernoid comparison, CJ's Elephant Antics comparison, New Zealand Story/Kiwi Kraze comparison

07/04/2009: Added a Top 100 Master System Games of all Time feature here and there's also a genre feature on Run and Gun Games that I actually finished weeks ago but forgot to mention which is here
