Years
ago an online newsletter by the name of Retrogaming Times was something
I looked forward to reading whenever a new issue would appear. Through
years of things coming and going on the 'net, Retrogaming Times seemed
to be one thing that would always be there and always be an enjoyable and
informative read. After running for seven years with 80 issues, Retrogaming
Times finally came to a close. However very shortly there after the
newsletter was reborn in its continuation counterpart, Retrogaming Times
Monthly. After a few months the call went out for additional contributors
to RTM, of which I replied to and began contributing articles. Here
you will find an archive of anything I write that appears in RTM. I
encourage everyone to head over to Retrogaming Times Monthly and read the
current issue as well as the archives. Additionally you will
find links to all 80 issues of Retrogaming Times there as well. It
has been and continues to be a privilege to contribute to RTM.
The Titles of Tengen is a column
in which I review the Tengen ported NES games compared to their original
arcade counterparts. It began its run in December 2004 with RTM issue
#7 and completed its run in June 2006 with RTM issue #25. In November
2007 it made a one time return for a review of the Xybots prototype for
RTM issue #42.

to submit. The first apperance of the column was in November 2009
with RTM issue #66.
