Do you have a story to tell? Retro-Gamers.it is looking for new voices

Retro-Gamers.it was born as an independent project dedicated to retro-gaming, consoles, arcade games, home computers and video game memory. Over time, it has become something broader: an editorial archive, a small community and a place where we try to talk about video games not only as products, but as lived experiences.

In recent months, the site has grown. New articles, reviews, features, guides and archive pages have been published. We have added profiles dedicated to platforms, companies and creators, opened space for user comments and profiles, and also collected some direct memories from people who helped shape the history of video games.

It is still a young path, but its direction is becoming clearer: Retro-Gamers.it wants to become a meeting point for those who love this world with curiosity, memory and respect.

That is why we would like to start opening space for other voices too.

We are looking for people who would like to write about retro-gaming with passion, knowledge and a personal point of view. You do not need to be a professional journalist, and you do not need a perfect résumé. What matters is having something to say, being able to express it clearly, and wanting to contribute to an independent editorial project.

There are many possible topics: reviews of classic games, personal memories, features about consoles and home computers, graphic adventures, arcade games, conversions, soundtracks, software houses, developers, local scenes, fan translations, collecting, memories of arcades, shops, magazines or historic communities.

We are especially interested in articles that do not stop at “this game was great” or “this game was bad”. Retro-Gamers.it is looking for texts that add a real point of view: why a game stayed in memory, what it represented at the time, what limits it had, and what it can still tell us today about a machine, an era or a way of playing.

An important note: this is not a job offer, and at the moment there is no payment involved. Retro-Gamers.it is an independent project, built with time, passion and personal resources. We are therefore talking about a voluntary collaboration, aimed at people who would like to take part in a growing editorial space, be read, contribute to the archive and share their voice with a community of enthusiasts.

Because we want to keep a good editorial standard, we also ask for a fair command of the language. This does not mean writing in a cold or academic way. Quite the opposite: we like a human, personal and readable style. But it is important to be able to build a clear, well-organized and understandable text. Ideas matter a lot, but they need to reach the reader in the right way.

Retro-Gamers.it publishes content in both Italian and English. For this reason, we are interested in Italian contributors as well as people who can write in English, especially if they are connected to international communities, local scenes or video game memories outside Italy. Again, we are not looking for perfect or impersonal texts, but for sincere, careful and readable contributions.

If you would like to propose yourself as a contributor or send us an idea, write to collabora@retro-gamers.it and tell us who you are, what topics you would like to cover and, if possible, include a short writing sample or an example of your work.

Retro-Gamers.it does not want to become a random container of unrelated texts. The goal is to build a living, coherent and recognizable archive, where every contribution has a reason to exist and can find its place.

If you have a story to tell, a game that stayed with you, a machine you know well, a scene you experienced or a point of view you think other enthusiasts might find interesting, write to us.

Retro-gaming is not made only of pixels, plastic, circuits and old cover art. It is made above all of people who remember, discuss, preserve and continue to give value to what they experienced.

Maybe you are one of them.
