HEY! I’m Nathan (for lack of a better internet handle). I am a huge retro gaming enthusiast who makes my home on the tropical beaches of Canada.
My Turn ons include Vs. Super Mario Bros., the Twin Famicom, and video games made before 1998.
Turn offs include online multiplayer, DLC, and video games made before 1983.
Aside from running Video Games Are Rad, I have contributed my mad ramblings over at Game Sugar, Sega 16 and Encounter Rate. when I’m not waxing intellectual about video games I am usually either playing them or spending time with my wife, daughter, and son.
I can be hassled at whenitpainsitroars@gmail.com









Greets. I spent forever assembling one of those “battleships”. Good read. Welcome to cgcc too btw.
Hi, I came across your site via a google result for Retro Gamer Collection 3. I just picked up #4 and I’m looking for the first three issues. The magazine is gorgeous. Can’t justify the cost of shipping from the uk site, but I digress.
You’ve got a lot of really great games. If you’re in canada, how are you finding all these japanese and pirate products? I’m in Calgary and haven’t seen a sniff of that stuff.
Anyway, this probably isn’t the place to chat, just wanted to leave a note saying I liked the site.
nice email address. gotta love jawbreaker!
i do love jawbreaker!
Your site certainly is RAD!
Sweet site Nathan lookin forward to its growth its defiantly bookmarked. Maybe one day we will see an Atlas/Shin Megami Tensei section ;) keep up the good work dude.
First of all, your site is great. And your turnoffs are spot on.
Secondly, are you the same Nathan White from Canada that writes for The Hockey News and other sports publications?
I do not write for the hockey news. Same name, wrong guy. Thanks for reading, though!
