  • Retrogaming Times TV

    From Bryan Roppolo Boulder@brop99@hotmail.com to comp.sys.ti,rec.games.video.classic,alt.games.video.classic,comp.sys.cbm,comp.sys.atari.8bit on Friday, March 27, 2009 14:21:22

    HI!
    I am floating around the idea of making a TV version of
    Retrogaming Times Monthly, called Retrogaming Times TV, which would be
    hosted on YouTube. It would be a central place to post videos on old
    games for anything (reviews, homemade classic videogame cartoons,
    interviews, etc). Thought I would mention that this could happen if I
    can get enough people to submit videos to me. Old video game
    commercials, interviews, etc would be able to be posted to this new TV
    effort, just not something that somebody already has made himself and
    posted on YouTube (such as a review done recently that already is on-
    line on YouTube).
    I was thinking of including many of the videos on RTTV also in
    Retrogaming Times Monthly at its website, www.retrogamingtimes.com,
    therefore giving videos posted on Retrogaming Times TV airtime at both
    YouTube and the on-line magazine. To those interested in this venture,
    send me an e-mail at bryan@retrogamingtimes.com. Thought it would be
    neat to have both print and video outlets for Retrogaming Times
    Monthly!

    "Kind of Like MTV for Retrogamers"

    P.S. Spread the word around about this to your friends so that
    everyone that might be interested knows about this new effort for the
    on-line magazine.

    Sincerely,

    Bryan Roppolo

    Not to sound like a total crank, but is "Kind of Like MTV for
    Retrogamers" supposed to be a -selling point?- I can't think of any
    tagline that would inspire me to watch it -less.-

    I have seen MTV recently, but I was thinking more along the lines that
    MTV and early 80s gaming go pretty much hand in hand as it defines
    that part of the decade. Might not have been phrased right, but the
    general idea was making a reference to MTV along with early 80s video
    games, became popular at the same time period. It's just something I
    threw out there as it came to mind with TV and gaming from the 80s.

    What you are proposing is a video podcast, target audience being who are interested in classic gaming, trying to capture the production stylings
    and standards popularized in the 80's with the look of vintage MTV
    and/or Miami Vice. Fast paced, energetic presentations, brightly
    colored sets and wardrobes, big hair, parachute pants and mallrats
    hanging in the arcade.
