Retro IGNYay!  More retro news!

IGN : "...while we always want to follow where gaming is going, it is equally important to know where it's been. And that's why we are proud to launch IGN Retro, an entire channel dedicated to the rich history of video games, dating all the way back to Computer Space and the first plinks and plonks of early console games. As exciting as it was the first time you realized just how massive Liberty City was in Grand Theft Auto III, imagine what gamers felt the first time they helped Pitfall Harry bound across those three crocodile heads in Activison's seminal Pitfall?

(And, while you're at it, imagine the crushing blow of seeing the Atari 2600 port of Pac-Man for the first time, too.
Yeesh.)

This channel is dedicated to the classics and the not-so-classic classics."

So there you have it.  More retro news for all of dedicated to what we all grew up with.  Can't wait to see how it works out for them!
