Retro gaming..How would you develop this?

[simonj]

I just registered DataNostalgia.com with the intent of developing it into a site for retro gaming, old computers & game-systems, and digital memories from the 80's. How would you go about developing this concept? A blog, A forum? a gallery?

for bonus points, what film is this quote from... "Shall.we.play.a.game?"

it's saw i think :p

erm, I personally would make it into a nice funky site, with a retro design.

As for content, it would depend on what you want from the site imo. You could go for a web 2.0 style one, where people post up games from the past, then other users can comment on them. this could be done in a forum style (better for dicussion, harder to start off), or as a myspce style blog thing.

or you could go for the straight up, info, history, pics etc style of site, with minimal user input. easier to maintain, but less fun imo.

good domain though, nice one
