What I Discovered From Collecting Retro Games

This wasn't about nostalgia for me. When I began my collection, I had just wanted to revisit a few of the consoles that I grew up with and experience the ones that I never had before. But what proceeded to unfold from that was a journey that caused me to discover so much more than I expected. In this video essay/documentary, I want to take you on that journey with me and tell you how each console revealed itself to me. This is what I discovered when I collected the classics. -Astra the Archivist A big thanks to Dusqk and Alyzea for the music involved in this video.
