BEHIND THE JOURNEY
What RetroMasochism Is All About
RetroMasochism is my journey through complete game libraries, played as closely as possible to the way they were originally meant to be experienced. I go game by game, from the well-known classics to the obscure and forgotten, with one goal: finish everything.
The games are picked by viewers, which means the journey is shaped by this community. I never know where the next pick will take me. Once a game is selected, I have to finish it before I can move on to the next one.
Viewers pick the pain. I embrace the strain.
This isn't about speedruns or perfect playthroughs. It's about experiencing games honestly, including the good, the bad, and the frustrating. No save states, walkthroughs, guides, or cheats are allowed. The only outside help I can use is the manual and anything else that originally came with the game.
RetroMasochism is my attempt to experience as much of gaming history as possible, including games I might never have chosen on my own. Some will be great, some will be terrible, and some may surprise me completely, but every one gets its chance.
THE RULES ARE SIMPLE:
- Games are picked by viewers.
- Every selected game must be finished.
- No save states, walkthroughs, guides, or cheats.
- Only the manual and original included materials are allowed.
