Retro Game Chat

A pixel-art Twitch chat and alerts feed with CRT styling and a bonus companion panel.

Works with
  • Twitch
  • StreamElements
  • Any streaming software with browser source

What it doesv1.1.0

Retro Game Chat makes your chat look like it belongs in a 1980s arcade. Messages arrive as compact terminal-style rows, while follows, subscriptions, raids, cheers, tips, and channel point redemptions land as animated pixel-art alert cards in the same feed.

The included companion panel extends the arcade look to stream information and social details. Both pieces are designed to remain readable over gameplay, with configurable colors, icons, timing, sounds, and transparent presentation options.

How it works

  1. 01
    Chat appears on screen

    Viewer messages enter a pixel terminal feed as they are sent.

  2. 02
    Stream events join the feed

    Enabled follows, subscriptions, raids, cheers, tips, and redemptions become animated arcade cards.

  3. 03
    The feed keeps moving

    Messages stack in your chosen direction and clear automatically using your timing and visible-item settings.

  4. 04
    Add the companion panel

    An optional matching panel can rotate stream information, social links, and other useful details.
