Description
Retro Reader is a guide reader built for classic gaming. Import your favorite text walkthroughs — GameFAQs-style ASCII guides for SNES, NES, Genesis, Game Boy, and beyond — and read them with pixel-perfect monospace rendering that preserves every piece of ASCII art exactly as intended.
Read Your Way Customize font size, choose between fixed, panning, or hidden line number gutters, and enjoy smooth 60 FPS scrolling even through guides with 100,000+ lines. Jump to any line instantly or search across the entire guide with fuzzy matching.
Stay Organized Double-tap any line to create bookmarks or pins. Add names and notes to mark boss strategies, puzzle solutions, or hidden item locations. Your reading position is saved automatically — pick up right where you left off.
Build Your Collection Import .txt guides and organize them by game, platform, and author. Export your entire library as a backup and import it on another device with all bookmarks and pins intact.
Offline & Private Everything is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Just your guides, available anytime — perfect for long gaming sessions away from WiFi.
Authentic Retro Aesthetic Neon green text on a black background. Monospace fonts. A terminal-inspired interface that feels right at home next to your SNES.
