A fantastic mag for an old timer like me.
I've just recently started my subscription again to this mag after being out the country for a year, glad to have this mag coming to my door in print form again I've missed it, I enjoy that crisp new mag ready to read once a month, I grew up in a time when you got all your gaming information from magazines, I'm not fond of digital video gaming news or modern gaming in general I'm happy enough playing and looking back over the consoles of my childhood from Mega Drive to Snes, N64 etc and retro gamer does just that it's a good read and puts me back into that time every time I read it, super happy they offer a print version though all the digital versions now offered by pocket mags for free as a subscriber is a very good idea and ideal when I'm on the road and haven't the space to keep physical editions.
Retro gamer is a fantastic magazine and may long it continue, it's important we support the print media it's sadly a dying art and things won't be the same without it.

Great Mag
Great mag covering video games 20 years prior and beyond. Featuring an array of interviews with developers you simply won't find elsewhere along with articles shining a spotlight on both popular as well as lesser known and more obscure titles along the way. The mag hit the 20 year mark not too long ago so here's hoping to at least another 20 years.
