Each every so often, one thing unexpectedly wonderful occurs in your retro gaming life, and this time it got here courtesy of my higher half, Ms. Ausretrogamer herself.
Whereas I used to be busy immersing myself in pixels, pinballs, and handheld nostalgia, she secretly gathered every go, badge, lanyard, pin, medal and random items of retro occasion paraphernalia that I’ve collected over years of attending commerce exhibits, conventions, tournaments, open homes and launch occasions. We’re speaking about all the buildup of recollections and nerd credentials.
After which she was crammed curator mode.
What I noticed subsequent completely shocked me:
- All superbly framed.
- A museum-worthy collage of my adventures within the retro gaming universe.
- A time capsule of pleasure, fanaticism, and button-pushing historical past, all now hanging proudly in our sport room.


It stopped me lifeless! It jogged my memory of all of the wonderful locations we have been, the great individuals we have met, the tournaments we have fought in, the arcades we have rediscovered, and the infinite good occasions that include being part of this wonderful group. They don’t seem to be simply recollections, it’s a reminder that every occasion left a mark and that she and I shared lots of these moments collectively.
Actually…she did it.
The composition, the colours, the layers: the chef’s kiss. This isn’t only a wall of frames; it is a tribute wall to retro gaming tradition and the epic recollections that hold the Ausretrogamer flame burning.
So right here it’s Mrs. Ausretrogamerthe mind behind this distinctive and really particular creation. The sport room simply leveled up, and so did my coronary heart. ❤️
