Community Portal and 870-Game Archive on WordPress — Clásicos Básicos
A huge catalogue that still loads fast
Clásicos Básicos · Retro gaming · Media & community
The living museum of classic gaming in Spanish
A portal built to preserve retro culture: a catalog of more than 870 classic titles from PC, Amiga, Spectrum, Amstrad and NES, organized by genre and platform, alongside forums, a podcast and the CLABA TV channel. It's the gathering place for a Spanish-speaking community in love with the games and films of the 80s and 90s.

The client needed a digital home that could house a huge catalog of classic games and, at the same time, sustain an active community of fans without depending on third-party platforms.
We built a custom WordPress portal with a library you can browse by platform and genre, community forums, a podcast system, YouTube and Twitch integration and a donations module, all deployed on our own infrastructure.

What happened to Clásicos Básicos after launch
A living retro community built around the content: a shelf-by-shelf catalog of games and films, an integrated podcast and its own forum (Foro CLABA) where members come back every day. The synthwave aesthetic has become its signature, and the archive keeps growing through contributions from the community itself.
“It's not just a website, it's the club we always wanted. The game shelves are amazing and the forum runs beautifully. The community feels it's theirs, and that's something you can't buy: you build it right.”
