IGN launches Retro

Videogame website IGN.com turned ten years old on Saturday. Time flies, eh?

To celebrate the decade of gaming, they are giving you a present by launching IGN Retro, a site dedicated to classic videogames. IGN Retro will cover gaming systems from the distant past - including the Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, and NES - as well as more recent platforms that aren't seeing active release schedules any longer such as the Dreamcast, GameCube and original Xbox systems.

“Having been with IGN.com since its inception, I am very proud of what the site has accomplished so far and very excited for the next 10 years,” said Peer Schneider, Senior Vice President and Publisher, IGN Entertainment. “IGN.com has become the leader in providing users with the latest in videogame news and exclusives, and as the videogame industry continues to evolve, IGN.com will continue to be on the forefront of the industry.”
