Retro Gamer

A great magazine, unrivaled in its field. The downside is that it focuses mainly on the UK, with few topics from Europe or Japan (like Atari XE/XL, MSX, infrequent game consoles, etc.) Reviewed 11 June 2026

PERFECT

Best magazine, love it very much. Highest quality, positive vibe and energy. Thank you very much, guys! Reviewed 21 March 2026

Retro Gamer

I've been a reader of retro*GAMER for close to 20-years now (I can't believe it's been that long). The magazine focusing on 'retro' is now, not only old enough to be retro itself, but it has outlasted 80% of its peers. Retro Gamer is a labor of love with much evergreen content that I appreciate. Keep up the great work! Reviewed 11 March 2026
