As you know, there are plenty of well known retro game reviewers on Youtube who review old console games. There's The Angry Video Game Nerd, Pat The NES Punk or DMJared just to name a few.

That's all fine and dandy but those guys focus on console games. They either don't review PC games at all or do that rarely.

So, does anyone here know a retro game reviewer who focuses on PC games? And I'm not talking about some random guys who upload a let's play of an old game every now and then. I'm talking about a decent, at least somewhat well known, respected reviewer more or less on the level of Pat The NES Punk.

Matt Barton does some retrospectives like you're after (check his earlier episodes), mixed in with some newer reviews, some Kickstarter-related interviews (a lot of the old guard have been interviewed for new Kickstarter projects), but probably most interesting is interviews with older designers, programmers, and musicians. Brian Fargo, John Romero, Lord British, Tim Cain, George "The Fat Man" Sanger, Graeme Devine, etc. A lot of them give interesting behind the scenes information about their now retro games.

Pretty much this. They're all top notch.
Also, Era Game Reviews for some more serious and in-depth analysis.

They are both good.

But they are in fact not reviewers. They are LPers. As in they play long plays.
