“Blow On The Cartridge is the gaming blast from the past you didn't know you needed. The feeling of nostalgia paired with a fun, but informative, writing style makes this newsletter worth the couple minutes read. You may even go back and read them again! The additions of YT links to game scores is one of my favorite aspects. Highly recommend, 10/10!”

“Nostalgic and informative. Blow on the Cartridge feels like flipping through a game manual you forgot you loved. It's part guide, part storybook, part time machine. It’s nostalgic without being sentimental and informative without losing its sense of play. I love the personal touch, creativity, humor, and genuine care for the history behind the pixels. A must-read if you ever blew on a cartridge and hoped for the best.”
