How do you play those old games?
You spotted me playing a classic PC game and wondering now how to jump in yourself?
No worries! You have multiple options:
- My Gaming Blog: For a comprehensive guide packed with info on both single-player and multiplayer, head over to my blog.
- Community Wiki: My dedicated community wiki covers addition information about the games I play. From installation instructions to everything I find in my research.
- Leave a Comment: Feel free to leave a comment below any video where you saw me playing the game. There’s a good chance I (or another helpful viewer) can answer your question.
- Join the Community Discord: The community Discord server is another great resource. Connect with other gamers, share experiences, and get assistance from knowledgeable members who are passionate about keeping these classics alive.
Which software do you use for creating your content?
I use OBS Studio, a free and open-source software, to record and stream my gameplay. To keep my game audio and chat audio separate for editing, I rely on a virtual audio cable, which I will change in the future. Elagato Wave Link offers a lot more option on the audio front. Finally, I edit everything together in the studio version of DaVinci Resolve.

What games have you streamed?
Since 2024, I’m sharing my gaming experiences with you on YouTube and Twitch. Everything on Twitch is sadly lost after a few days, but the YouTube streams will more or less stay forever. Only if I have a problem with my old enemy Mr. Copyright Claimer, I will remove them.

What is...?
Launched in 2020 with my awesome co-host 7Saturn, this series takes an in-depth look at our classic and beloved games! We explore all the reasons why these titles hold a special place in our hearts, revisiting past experiences and uncovering hidden gems.
For our discussions, we often invite special guests to the party. These can be community leaders who championed the game, modders who breathed new life into it or fellow content creators who share our passion for gaming history. During our talks we also go beyond just listing pros and cons. We delve into the game’s unique history within the community, exploring what made it stand out and the impact it had on players.
In 2023, I invited Owen, a master of video upscaling and good friend to join the podcast crew. So, we can not only explore a wider variety of genres, but also protect 7Saturn from venturing into territory that might not tickle his fancy. Owen’s expertise allows us to explore a broader range of games, breathing new life into them with his technical wizardry.
