I just want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who supported the channel this year. We grew from 2K subscribers to 8K, and that honestly means more to me than I can put into words.
Mortal Kombat and Rockstar were the real highlights of the year. Going down memory lane with those franchises—the good and the bad—was a blast. This channel thrives on learning the history of games and sharing that history with people who genuinely care about it, and that’s something I never take for granted.
If you’ve been here for a while, thank you for rocking with me through the journey—from the days of a rough microphone to better audio, stronger editing, and overall growth. I’ve learned a lot, and I know there’s still more to improve.
My end-of-the-year video didn’t quite make it in time, but I’ll be back January 10th kicking things off with Crash Bandicoot 💪🏾😎
Can’t wait to see what next year brings.
Stay Retro, Stay Phantom 😎👻🎮

Lately I’ve been going back and listening to old video game soundtracks, and it’s crazy how good they used to be. Because of licensing issues today, we’ll probably never get music like that again — at least not the way we had it back then.
It got me thinking… which video game had one of the best soundtracks in your life?
My brother swears by GTA: Vice City, and honestly it’s hard to argue with that one.
For me, I’ve always had a soft spot for Saints Row 2 and Saints Row IV — those games nailed the vibe perfectly.
What about y’all? Drop your picks below! 👇🎶
