RMC Retro (rmcretro.com) is a retro tech content website run by hobbyist Neil. It centers on content about the history, restoration, and collecting of vintage computers and retro game consoles. It started as a YouTube creator channel, and has grown into a full ecosystem of podcasts and online content, and is also affiliated with an offline retro technology museum.
The main purpose of the site is to organize and host the "RMC This Week in Retro" series of podcasts and videos. Its content spans a wide range of topics including teardowns and restorations of vintage devices, deep dives into industry history, hardware modifications and upgrades, and collecting stories. It has launched several regular series such as "Trash to Treasure" and "Tech Nibble", and has also interviewed industry pioneers to preserve their oral histories — some of this content has even been compiled and published as physical books. The site also provides an entry to its Discord community, a booking link for visits to the offline museum, and links out to its affiliated merchandise store where you can buy related branded goods and electronics.
Pros: The content is very in-depth, covering detailed histories of many obscure early computer brands, making it extremely valuable as a reference for hobbyists. It offers content in both audio podcast and video formats to suit different listening/viewing scenarios, and connects online content with in-person visits to the physical museum for a complete, immersive experience.
Cons: The entire site has no Chinese language support, which creates a high barrier for casual hobbyists based in China. All core audio and video content is hosted on YouTube, with this site only serving as an index, so accessing the content relies on third-party platforms.
This site is ideal for vintage computer enthusiasts, retro game collectors, and technology history researchers who are comfortable with English content. It cannot be accessed directly from mainland China, and since its core content relies on YouTube, a VPN proxy is required to browse and view content normally.
