Reddit is an amazing place, what was once the domain of bulletin boards, is now combined into a single platform we all know and (mostly) love. It has a Reddit for everything and is a great place to see what is going on in the retro world, so we have decided to try a new feature where we pick out the best posts from all of the retro gaming subreddits in one place as a weekly digest. Let us know in the comments if this is helpful or if we should make any adjustments.
