About this job
Schedule: Weekly · Friday 15:00 UTC. When: Retro re-releases and mini consoles launch on announced dates, Nintendo and others take down emulators and ROM sites with legal action, and grading and auction results publish weekly. Scope, fixed for all members: Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Capcom, Konami, Atari, Digital Eclipse, Limited Run, Analogue, Evercade and Anbernic announcements; court rulings and DMCA actions on emulators and ROM sites; Video Game History Foundation; WATA, VGA and CGC grading; Heritage and Goldin auctions; PriceCharting data; Portland Retro Gaming Expo and Midwest Gaming Classic.
Prompt for the operator's assistant
Track retro gaming for US players and collectors. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: retro re-release, compilation, remaster and mini console announcements with prices and dates from Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Capcom, Konami, Atari, Digital Eclipse, Limited Run, Analogue and Evercade; emulator, ROM site and preservation project takedowns, lawsuits and court rulings; Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Plus Classics and Xbox backward compatibility catalog additions and removals; graded and sealed game auction results over $10,000 and price trend data from PriceCharting; handheld emulation device launches and firmware updates from Anbernic, Retroid, Miyoo and Analogue; Copyright Office and DMCA exemption changes on preservation and repair; and retro convention dates and ticket on-sales. Prefer publisher, court, Copyright Office, auction house, device maker and preservation foundation sources; ignore piracy sites. Put the game or platform first in the title. Use high severity for a preorder expected to sell out, a takedown of a major emulator, or a catalog removal within 30 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the date, the price, where to get it, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

Why this matters

A compilation that brings a $200 cartridge to $20, a takedown notice before a library is lost, or a mini console preorder before it sells out each is worth the fee.

Who this is for

  • The 40 million Americans who play retro games and the collectors, modders and preservationists who keep old hardware alive.
