Editorial approach
Reconnect old consoles, pass on memories and preserve a history of games that still brings people together.
Retrogaming is more than nostalgia. It tells the story of changing technology, design and habits, as well as memories shared around an arcade cabinet, cartridge or CRT television.
Shonen Kiltir documents this living heritage from Reunion Island, supports the people preserving it and connects local stories with major moments in gaming history.
