Making an appearance at MAGFest 2025 earlier this year, The Nerd himself is going to take you back to the past to show how Retroware collaborated with Mega Cat Studios to recreate the iconic “Nerd Room” at the signature event.
This narrated behind-the-scenes video featuring the Angry Video Game Nerd himself (James Rolfe), walks viewers through the meticulous steps the team at Retroware took to ensure authenticity – no small feat.
On that note, the team at Retroware took more than 60 high-resolution photos of the Nerd Room’s signature wall of video games. This required printing them ou, and carefully measuring each one to make sure they were true to the original set.

The AVGN Nerd Room Game Booth – How Was it Made?
Justin Silverman, Creative Director at Retroware, said the following:
“I always wanted to recreate the iconic Nerd Room just for the hell of it, and this ended up being the perfect excuse.
Plus, our team’s got a bunch of random skills—carpentry, painting, logistics, printing—you know, stuff we don’t really get to use when making indie games. So it was fun (and cathartic) to work those hard-skill muscles a bit.”
Justin Silverman continued:
“The fans at the expo were really into it, too. We had just announced the game right before MAGFest, so a lot of AVGN fans didn’t know that it existed yet. Then they’d walk into the expo and boom—there’s a full-on, free-standing Nerd Room right in front of them.”
