Favorite retrogaming Youtube channels?

I could list a bunch of general YTers that cover retro games among other gaming topics, but for those who mainly cover retro games I like Big Ole Words, Hungry Goriya, and Video Works.

  • Modern Vintage Gamer and GameHunt are both God tier channels made by old developers. MVG is ran by someone who was huge into console modding and emulation for a while. GameHut is ran by the owner of Travelers Tales, better known for Sonic 3d Blast, Sonic R, and the Lego Star Wars series. Both great channels

  • Retro Game Mechanics Explained is one of my favorite YouTube channels of all time. There's an absolute treasure trove of interesting technical deep-dives about the inner workings of retro games, famous glitches, and how the hardware works. And it's all presented with clear, silky smooth animations that make everything so much easier to understand.

    I'm not even into retro games that much, yet the content is so good that it has me completely hooked anyway. I'd highly recommended it for anyone who wants to learn more about computer science or the clever techniques programmers used to get things to run on old hardware.

    • Check out GameHut for sure! Same kinda stuff made by the guy behind Sonic 3d Blast and Sonic R

  • Matt McMuscles has been on a roll lately with his retro retrospectives. The near 11 hour Double Dragon marathon was a chef's kiss. (https://youtu.be/TEn1ALxpFAg)

    Becoming kind of a fan of Korone as well lately, even if I can't understand her most of the time. Really enjoying her Legend of Zelda playthrough right now. She's just having fun discovering and not bothering with doing it "right" (https://www.youtube.com/live/NWzBjSwAcvk)
