These are those brave souls that put themselves out there by livestreaming as they play retro games. A great way to introduce a new audience to an old game they’ve never seen and also enjoy it in a new way as a more social experience.
Hollieplays - Hollie streams a lot of lesser known games, some retro and some modern, always entertaining.
JerseyBunnyCI and Micromorganismx - a streaming duo from Jersey that have more recently got into the streaming scene, hope to see more from them soon.
Manaspectrum - a Jersey variety streamer streaming some nice niche stuff like House Flipper!
Here are the community members who film, edit and upload videos spotlighting the retro games and the scene surrounding them. There is a really huge and good natured community of retro heads on Youtube nowadays and its good to have Jersey be a part of it.
Olicon - my own gaming channel which has stream archives of all the games I have streamed.
Zujin - A great lets player who can talk you through all the steps needed to get better at building and survival games.
The Retro Future - Probably the most well known Jersey Youtuber - a massive channel dedicated to classic handhelds, especially the GameBoy.
People who create art and crafts based on the retro video game scene. This can be etsy stores, T shirts, posters, fine art and even live drawing on streams. The world of retro gaming inspires a lot of people to unleash their talents.
Steve Beal - Artist who is not only capable of traditional drawing styles, he is also able to composite an entire work in the space of an hour during a livestream. Check out his gaming based work here
Jess Bacon - Artist who creates using vibrant colours and has been know to draw great works based on games when it takes her fancy.
For those who dabble and those who dedicate their lives towards attaining world records, this is the section for you. Still only a small number of speed runners in Jersey but hoping to broaden that by showcasing them here and hopefully holding events in future too.
Olicon - World record held on Phantasy Star 2 and top three in Bruce Lee on the C64. Hoping to branch out to more games.
Your name here? Please let me know if you are into the scene at all as it would be great to have a bit of competition in the island, not necessarily for world record attempts, just to enjoy your favourite old games in a new way.
This is where you will have your name immortalised if you win one of our challenges.
