Founder · Creator · Traveler
I build gaming businesses and explore the world.
I'm Cameron Colorado, founder and CEO of Retro Ventures, the company behind Retro vGames and RetroFam. Since 2020 I've grown it into an international e-commerce group with a global team of 60+. I also create games and products, and I've visited 80+ countries along the way.
Ventures
From an idea to international operations.
My work spans the full business: sourcing and refurbishment, technology, marketing, logistics, and customer experience. I've led our online platforms, international warehouse operations, and inventory and procurement systems, and brought AI and automation into how we work.

Games
Three games I built for this site.
They run in your browser on a phone or a computer. Tap a game to open it, and close it when you're done to keep scrolling.
Game 1 · Arcade
Glitch Patrol
An arcade shooter I built for the site. Each level is themed after one of my brands, from Retro vGames to Retro Get. Clear the glitch bugs before they dive-bomb your ship.
Level: Retro vGames
Keyboard: ← → or A / D to move, Space to fire, P to pause.
Phone: drag on the screen to move; your ship fires on its own.
Game 2 · Puzzle
Shift Stack
A falling-block puzzle in blue and orange where every cleared row sets off a chain reaction.
- Every piece is blue or orange. Press C (or the half-and-half button) to flip its color before it lands.
- Fill a row to detonate it. The blast spreads into every block of the same color that's physically touching the row, so big same-color clusters explode with it.
- Blocks then fall into the gaps. If that fills another row, it detonates too, and each chain multiplies your points.
Next:
Keyboard: ← → move, ↑ rotate, ↓ move down, Space drop, C flip color, P pause.
Phone: use the buttons under the board.
Game 3 · Trivia
Where in the World?
Guess the country from its records, landmarks and trivia. Questions cycle randomly through all 200 countries and territories in the catalog, so every game is different. Fewer clues means more points.
