    Default NEW Retro Gaming News Aggregator

    Hey people! It's been a little over a year since I got obsessed with retro gaming. In the past year I got an; nes, snes, genesis, saturn, atari and a ton of games. I subscribe to a lot of retro gaming news feeds and decided to work on a site to do just that, but for everyone who loves retro gaming. So I created http://abadox.net/ - I would love to get feedback. You can see what sites I'm pulling from on the sources form. Please feel free to suggest any new sources. Feel free to submit your own news articles as well.

    Thanks in advanced!

    Cool, but... These are not the racketboy forums. Might want to be a little more careful with your spam.

    haha... caught me , trying to save a minute. It's not really spam when I'm targeting the right audience. Just trying to get some feedback from the right people.

    Still spam, regardless of who you're targeting.

    From a web designer standpoint - horrible color scheme. Red on a purple is a big no no. Layout is a generic blog layout (which there's nothing wrong with that).

    From a user standpoint:
    contentwise - pulling stuff from other sites is a lot like digg, and those other social blog sites. I'd stick to content generated by you, or the people who help you with the site.

    That's all I got.

    That's what an aggregator is.

    Anyway, I agree that the color scheme should change, it's a little rough on the old eyeballs. Still though, it's a cool idea. I'm definitely gonna bookmark.

    I like the idea. It would be nice to have all classic news in one spot. The look isn't the best though.

    I like it. The color scheme gives it a retro-gaming feel.
