I have never been a huge fan of the plastic cases that I currently use for the Retro Box. However, when I started this business, they were the best I could get, for the budget I had, and I could get them reliably wholesale. In the past few months, the price of some of...
A lost of people ask me about joystick controllers for their retro box. The ones I offer on the website are a good value for the price, but there are many other available. I have been experimenting with two of them, and I am here to give you my impressions. The first...
Good News! The best value in retro gaming just got better! In celebration of SKG Retrogaming's first anniversary, we are announcing the new and improved SKG Retro Box, Fully Loaded version. In addition to the 16 different systems, and 7000 games we currently offer,...
As anyone who has purchased a fully loaded system from me can attest, the Nintendo 64 has some serious issues. Some games work great, some have serious or minor problems, some do not work at all. What many of you might not know, is that there are several different N64...
The other day, I, The Skeptical Geek, did the unthinkable. I took a day off. I had a day to kill in the Bay Area, before I had to drive to Portland, so I took a Caltrain into SF, and spent the day in one of my favorite cities. Had lunch at one of my favorite...
As you might know, the SKG has been doing a lot of travelling lately, attending comic conventions and other shows. Just did back to back shows in Washington DC, and San Jose, CA. Awesome Con in DC truly was. Had a great time, sold over 30 Retro Boxes, and got to spend...
I am in the process of going through the Nintendo 64 games, all of them, and creating a spreadsheet. As you may or may not know, the N64 is a very difficult system to emulate, and as of now, it is not really all there. There are several N64 emulators on the Retro Box,...
A lot of my customers ask me about options for wireless controllers. I don't normally carry any, either in my swap meet booth or in shows, because quality wireless controllers cost quality money, and they are usually not as good as wired controllers anyway. Well,...

That’s right, recently The Skeptical Geek has been spending time with one of the Chief Llama’s from www.llamavision.com. Secret plans, midnight emails, hours playing awesome games. All this effort for you!
The Skeptical Geek has been in love with video games since the first Space Invaders machine came to his local mall when he was 12. Knowing he was witnessing the birth of something incredible, he proceeded to tell all the adults in his life that this was going to change the world. Naturally,they all thought he was insane.
A software engineer by trade, the SKG build the first Retro Boxes for himself and his roommate just to have a way to play all his favorite games on his big screen TV. It occurred to him that this could be a viable business idea,when people close to him started asking where they could buy one. Thus, SKG Retrogaming was born.
