So here we are. It’s issue 250, which is a pretty impressive achievement for a games magazine in this day and age. I never could have guessed back in 2005 that I’d still be getting to put this wonderful mag together, yet we’re still going strong, and I’d argue Retro Gamer is better than ever. If I had to guess at the mag’s success I’d suggest it’s because of the pioneering work Martyn and his original team did, the hard work from its past and present on-staff team, the excellent articles by its freelancers and the fact that Retro Gamer has one of the most passionate and dedicated readerships I’ve ever seen. And then of course there are the many developers who have shared their fascinating stories with us over the years.
