Vintage is the New Old

About RGC

Vintage is the New Old (formerly known as Commodore Blog and then Commodore is Awesome) was created in April 2011 by Sarah Christina Burroughs (Kitty). Now a well-known name in the Retro Gaming Scene and a long-term member of the English Amiga Board. Back in the day, Commodore Blog was just a small website on blogger.com. The site gained popularity very fast, and lot’s more people volunteered to help Sarah run the website, with new interesting ideas including a large collection of scanned downloadable PDF Commodore Magazines, such as Amiga Format and CU Amiga. As well as magazines, we had our own scanned Commodore box art and a large downloadable collection of the very best games and scene demos for all the Commodore systems. In time Commodore Blog was to be known as;

Commodore is Awesome, The website about all things Commodore!

Since the CIA days, we have come a long way. In 2014 we lost our complete database, due to a rogue Admin deleting all our hard work. We spent countless hours repairing the website to a decent state, unfortunately, some staff members chose to go their separate ways and we never completely recovered from this setback. Instead of giving up, we decided to press on and continue to rebuild the website, recovering as much lost data as possible. During the same year, despite the low amount of manpower, Sarah and Paulo Garcia chose to create a sister website called ‘Vintage is the New Old’. As Retro Gamers, Commodore isn’t our only forte, in fact, we have much knowledge and love for other Retro systems too.

Creating another website seemed like a good idea at the time and it gave us motivation to keep on at it. Both websites proved to be very popular, however after a year or so it was becoming hard work for just two people, so we made a decision to merge the two websites together into one Retro Gaming News Website. We took the latter name ‘Vintage is the New Old’ and we think it was one of the best moves we have made so far. The website has gone from strength to strength, and is now more popular than ever! We even have website awards to prove it!

Vintage is the New Old is a product of pure love and dedication for Retro Computing, we hope you enjoy it!
