Retro Gaming RoundUp

Mike James, Scott Schreiber

Booking Overview

A monthly retro gaming interview and editorial show covering classic games, hardware, arcade and pinball, with recurring conversations featuring veteran developers, publishers, and other figures from gaming history. Agencies could credibly pitch game creators, retro-game historians, preservationists, arcade or pinball specialists, and industry veterans with direct classic-gaming experience; booking difficulty is medium because the show attracts recognizable niche experts but focuses on an accessible specialist community.
