Our Story
Nida sold original video game consoles and old-school games on eBay and via a small online store back in 2005. She won the Nintendo Championship at Blockbuster when she was 14. She’s been a gamer since she was six. Nida grew up with Nintendo & SNES while Marcus grew up with Genesis & SNES, and they both love different types of retro games. So Nida started Retro Games Now as a way to share her hobby and passion for retro gaming with others. Retro is in the title and you will see plenty of old-school games, but modern titles that have relevance or history will appear as well.
Marcus is a video game designer graduate and is currently developing his own video game. He currently works as a social media assistant for Retro Games Now (RGN) website.
They game every evening as a couple. In their spare time, they enjoy playing games on their Switch, NES Classic, PS4, and Xbox.
