Hello, I’m ChrisFratz. But you can call me Chris. When it comes to retro gaming, I personally love emulating a lot. Along with modern ports and remasters I think it’s one of the most important things in retro gaming as it’s one of the most accessible ways to play these old games.
If you wanna here what I have to say about other kinds of things you can follow me on my twitter, though what I say on there are my thoughts alone.
