REVIEW = 52 by whynot2 (2)

Pros:
-it does provide, to an extent, what it says it does...porn videos, mostly from the late 70s and early 80s
-sign-up seemed to be pretty efficient
-cancelling seemed to go OK, too, at least, I hope so.
-downloading was simple and i'd judge it to be pretty fast

Cons:
Here we go:
- as mentioned elsewhere, there is no tagging or search function. You have to pick to DL on the basis of a single screen cap, and a small lo-res image of the (I presume) vhs cover, front and back.
- afore-mentioned images of covers, front and back and low-res...teh zoom fucntion didn't work and saving the pic and trying to zoom it, results in large pixels, long before you can make out faces or read names.
- I found at least two instances where the DL'd clip bore no resemblance to the supposed screen-cap
- many of the screen-caps focus on the parts...you have no idea, who, what face, situation, whatever turns your crank, is in the clip...other than 'parts'
- you can't DL a whole movie. With the selection that's probably not a big deal...but just saying.
- the clips are poorly edited. many, you hit play, and the first thing you see are those parts...maybe later you'll see a face or something.
- ltd selection, and of that selection, lots of Seka and Swedish Erotica.

Bottom Line:
As mentioned in a comment, I was led to this site due to a strong nostalgic pull, having recognized a short clip as being from a magazine i had years and years ago. Curisoity overcame me and I went searching.

I totally agree with other reviews...it's not a great site, with a lot of 'compromises' in important areas, such as navigation and content. Other than fulfilling my specific nostalgic yearning, I don't see a lot of value there.

More than many sites I've visited, it is really quite ludicrous to sell access to such a site on a 'subscription' basis...the content that is there you can peruse and make your choices in an hour or two, and be done. And, whatever else might be said, I don't think that there's a lot of new 'vintage' and 'nostalgic' product to be made or found.

REVIEW = 57 by pat362 (235)

Pros:
-You get access to 139 movies from the 70's and 80's
-They have movies with some of the big names from those eras.
-Movies are broken in scenes that can be downloaded in WMV(low & high quality).

Cons:
-No money was spent on restoring or remastering any of the movies so video quality is usually bad to awful.
-They have a couple of classic movies but the overall selection leaves a lot to be desired.
-No search option.
-No scene identification.
-No photos except for the front and back artwork for each movie.
-Content is not dated but based on TBP's last review then they have added about 7 movies since December 2010.
-You can download the scenes in low or high quality but the high quality is so bad that I can't see anyone downloading the low one.

Bottom Line:
-I got access to this site because of an amazing offer I received on the weekend so I'm able to review without complaining about the price but I don't think this site is worth $20$.

-This is the type of site that could appeal to anyone who enjoys porn from the golden days but since the people behind it can't be bothered with offering a quality site then stay away. If you don't then you will regret it. I love these type of movies but after downloading a couple of scene and suffering through them then I deleted them and I'm not going to bother downloading any others.

REVIEW = 50 by Dugg Moe (1)

Pros:
Exclusive content.

Good idea for a website (if executed properly)

Cons:
After the conversion from USD to Euros you will actually pay about $30 for one month of access - EXPENSIVE!

Very poor quality videos and a very limited selection.

The navigation is absolutely horrible and the videos suck.

Downloads are painfully slow, probably coming from a server overseas.

Bottom Line:
This is an overpriced site of extremely low quality. Since I am a fan of 70 and 80s hardcore, I thought RetroRaw was the perfect site for me. It fell far short of my expectations. Most of the available clips are of 3rd string actresses with marginal talent. There are very few stars sprinkled throughout this limited collection of lukewarm material. Do not waste your money with this terribly pitiful website
