Came across a cool new magazine the other day. It is called "Retro Gamer (http://www.livepublishing.co.uk/retro/) and deals with all of the great old gaming systems - Atari, NES, gaming computers, etc... Plus, it comes with a disc that contains some of your favorite old games. If you see it on your news stand, I highly recommend picking up a copy.

Now this is something i'd be very interested in reading!! Me thinks i'll go a searching today and see if I can pick one up somewhere on the net :yesnod:
Thanks Shakey! :thumb:
Gotta tell you, I have read and re-read this magazine. You all have to get a copy. It's just some great reading. :)
sounded good right up to this point;
"US and Canada: You can also subscribe to Retro Gamer for 12 issues (US$123 or Can$155) through Express Magazines. "

After converting it it is over $200AU!! I think i'll try and find a local re-seller with my newsagency
Yeah, since it is a British magazine, it ain't cheap to subscribe. That's why I will probably just pick it up off of the news stand. It was about $12.95 there, but since it came with a disk full of goodies, I thought it was worth it. Plus, the articles are awesome. Just finished reading an interview with Scott Adams that took me WAY back. I loved his adventure games back in the 80's. :)

Yeah, maybe they'll do an interview with my all time favorite Game Coder "Yak" aka Jeff Minter.
