Come join me in the Rainbow Games community

I know it may not be all that wise for me to push people in the direction of a "competing" website, especially when I'd love for those same folks to start and participate in all kinds of interesting discussions right here, but the fact is that my blog is only ever going to attract and retain a certain percentage of the gaming population.

So, if you don't quite get your fill of retro, niche or Japanese games on this particular blog, or if you're just looking for another online outlet for your Japanese, niche or retro gaming obsessions and thoughts, you may want to head over to rainbowgames.dreamwidth.org, which bills itself as "a community geared toward niche and retro game discussion and celebration," and set up an account.


You'll find me there using the handle "thegaygamer," of course. If you follow suit and start using the community, too, let me know here or via some sort of direct message sent through the dreamwidth site what your username is so I can properly connect with you there.

On a related note, if there are any additional blogs, communities or other sites out there that also focus on retro, niche or Japanese games that you think I might enjoy checking out, please let me know about them in the comments section of this post.

This might be fun! I registered as "2ach", see you on the boards!

That's great, Zach! Or should I say 2ach? Either way, hopefully I'll bump into you over there now and then, too :)

You're very welcome, madamluna :) It's so nice to be able to connect with others there, especially since the folks who have been attracted to the community so far are much more in line with my gaming interests--compared to folks at, say, NeoGAF. Anyway, I look forward to participating in it for some time to come!

I just discovered a pixel art Tarot deck through this site, just by visiting. Whoa. Welp...consider me happy to have visited.

Really, Justin?? I guess I'm going to have to head back now :)

Those Nyan-Invaders are certainly appealing :)
