1. About this blog author and his comrades

1.1. Eduardo Shiroma

Shiroma 8-bit version

Founder and author of the texts of this blog. In the "land of drizzle," he first met the video games, in the first year of the Heisei Period. He would not remember this fact if his mother did not tell him that it was in that year that he ended up knowing about the Atari 2600 Video Computer System existence. His tremendous fascination with the machine caught the eye of his parents, so they bought him one of those consoles. Since then, playing came into his habits as well as meals: it became necessary, as the fuel that makes the body move. The years passed, and then he decided to share information about games that are, in his thoughts, relegated by most players and the media.

1.2. Dario Humes

Dario is shy

An excessively timid boy, he also appreciates the retro games. Assists sporadically the Shiroma no Retro Shock blog in managing its accounts in social networks. The only retro console he owned was a Super Nintendo Entertainment System. He always liked the games of this system, like: Super Mario World, F-Zero, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Disney's Aladdin, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Super Bomberman 5 and many others. He knew other consoles and their respective games through the emulation, in the end of the 1990s. Currently he is not very active in gaming, and even does not have a video game console, only playing casually.

1.3. Yellow sub

"Sub" after finishing a game

The guy who goes by the name of "Yellow sub" is the player of this blog. Being the founder an admirer of the video games, but a horrible player, the help of the "Yellow submarine" is inevitable to the completeness of certain tasks that require a skill level above the overall average. Although this blog is turned to the retro games, this player is actually contemporary in his gaming, enjoying more the modern games, and the PlayStation 4 is his preferred console (see his achievements in the gamercard below). Like the founder, he begun gaming in the end of the 1980s, also with the Atari 2600 Video Computer System. Today he is a fan of the "first-person shooter" genre.

1.4. Joshua Lascelles

"Lo0pEd-2" is Joshua's alter ego

He is responsible for transcribing audio from videos in English for our blog. His first contact with video games was when he was a toddler, playing on a Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the nineteen-nineties. The memories of this time are very vague, but he remembers playing Super Mario World, Disney's Aladdin, and Donkey Kong Country. This with a little more gaming with Pokémon on Game Boy Color sum up his "retro gamer" experience. The past is now past, and now he plays modern games on the PlayStation 4 and PC. Sometimes you can see him online playing in the company of our colleague "Yellow_sub," under the nickname "Lo0pEd-2," his second self.

2. About this blog

Most of the blogs about games that exist there always used to talk of those best known of all games, the so-called "classics." It is like in literature or cinema: will always be remembered those works regarded as canonical, because they are considered according to the ideal of beauty, refinement. It is inevitable to escape from them.
But I thought: and so many other games that nobody dares to describe in more detail? These games really deserve being relegated in this way? It was when I decided to create this blog. The premise would be: talk about games that were somewhat or completely unknown to the general public, without necessarily running away from what is already regarded by most as a classic.
