Retro Handhelds
GameS of the month
One of the best parts about owning a new retro handheld is diving into the process of setting it up with an endless array of games. It’s when my favorite game, aptly named “Choice Paralysis” kicks in. Fortunately, RH has an incredible program called GotX, led by its intrepid leader Rapid99. It’s our community book club equivalent…for video games!
GAMES OF THE MONTH: WHAT IS IT?
Essentially, Games of the Month, or GotX, offers a way to play your way through games that you might not have ever thought of. In addition to the themed monthly games, Games of the Month has expanded to include “Role Playing Game of the Quarter”, or RPGotQ, and Game of the Week, also known as, Retro Bits.

Current Games of the Month
ANY 3 Past Winning GotM (or GotQ) Games
For January, Retro Handhelds is doing something a little different for its GotX program. While this is technically the second year in a row that we’ve done this, we are doing a callback theme; you can play any three past winning Games of the Month or Games of the Quarter for your standard three completions. You do not have to follow the usual early, mid, and late date ranges, and can instead play any set of three previous winners you wish from any time period.
