The RetroTech Archive (RTA) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary project designed to develop both a physical-digital archive and a research program on retro computing software and technology from the 1980s to early 2000s. Housed in ASU’s TechnoMaterials Lab (TML), the archive will encompass the current collection of over 350 video games, software, hardware, works of interactive media, and retro technologies. The project aims to create and develop an online archive for this collection, support a visiting scholar to study the collection, and facilitate a day-long workshop with faculty and students from the ASU community. 

Please be on the lookout for our upcoming workshop and the release of the online archive. The images below show just a few of the items that will be part of the large (and continually growing) collection.
