BrewOtaku is a retro homebrew gaming magazine where new games keep old systems alive. We cover fresh games for old consoles, handhelds, and computers. Dealing with limitations of very old systems is a passion and an art in itself, and still, coders out there can get the most out of the least and release fresh games regular!
