OLD GAMES.
A PLACE IN YOUR STORY.
A retro game log for the games that came before your current accounts. Remember the console, the playthrough, and what the game meant to you without needing an import.
OLD GAMES.
YOUR STORY.
01
The system.
Choose the console or handheld you played on.
02
The playthrough.
Record your status, approximate hours, and years played.
03
The memory.
Keep the moment that made the game matter.
A useful record, even when the details are fuzzy.
Find the game in Legacy & Retro, choose its system, and record what you remember. You can mark it as played or completed, add approximate hours, give a year range, and write about the experience. A rough memory is often more useful than leaving a favorite game out entirely.
The time and status
Record whether you played or finished it and estimate the hours you remember. Self-reported hours stay distinct from imported provider playtime.
The memory
Write about a favorite level, the person you played with, or why you returned to it. The experience field adds context that a completion count cannot.
From early consoles to handheld favorites.
Browse console catalogs and log titles from systems such as NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Dreamcast, and PlayStation. Search results depend on the game catalog, so check the title and system before saving an entry.
Manual memories and imported progress together.
If you use RetroAchievements, its imported history appears beside your own legacy log. You can keep a self-reported entry for an older experience and a provider connection for tracked progress. Review the source before interpreting a total: an approximate manual log is not an achievement record.

Common questions.
Do I need to own the original console?
No console connection is required for a manual entry. You record your own gaming history.
What if I cannot remember exact playtime?
Use a reasonable estimate if you want to record hours. The log presents manual playtime as approximate.
Can I edit a saved retro entry?
Yes. Open the entry’s Edit action in the legacy log to update its recorded details.
