Retro Gamer forum

I also think that physical goods "enslave" their owners into needing to allocate them physical space in their house, keeping them clean and functional (this is usually not a significant concern with digital discs, but with other goods), protecting them from loss/damage/theft when carried around. My...

Rob McCallum's "Box Art - a gaming documentary" is a series definetly worth watching.

Was fantastic!
Absolutely worth the trip.
And as a bonus I got an autograph from both Rob Hubbard and Paul Norman!
I am looking forward to the next event.

Shhhh...
it is about to start.

Anyone attending as well?
I look forward to the music, but also to 'meeting' (ok, just seeing him in person) Paul Nornan. The Forbidden Forest series was one of my favorites on the C64, specially for the music.

Directly from the 80s:

Pirate ship Higemaru
Rescue
Eggs
Make Trax
Hole land (maybe not favourite, but I played it a lot during a summer vacation)
and one of my all timie favourites (even if not properly lesser known): Exerion

I am tempted of buying the japanese version, if only for the difference in the presentation style. Europe/America: Know your classics. From the Golden Age of Gaming - A revolutionary console - shines again - experience a piece of history - (games list) - the glory of the past - is within your grasp ...

Wil there be a PC Engine Mini? WOW! Automatic buy for me. I am only afraid that it could be easily confused for, say, a coaster or a business card holder case?... it was already so tiny!

Actually, to make the feature more flexible, one could compare the various decades (70s, 80s, 90s and 00s), maybe choosing two each time, using the perspective suggested above. Or this might be a completely new feature, to be honest. Personally, I like features where the talk is about how we were, w...

I like the suggestion and I think it would be quite interesting. Let me add something. I would suggest to use this set up to include highlights in differences in industry trends in the 10 year time span. Topics could be the most various, taking specific examples (games, companies, people...) as refe...

Seconded. Larger text please. Also because often, when there is white font on a black background (or blue font on a black background... issue 185... aaaargh!!!), also due to the low quality of the paper, the letters get 'smeared' and the text becomes 'pixelated' and almost unreadable. I am sure it i...

There is balance in the world. Now that I have moved to the UK I was thinking to be safe from the delivery delays. But, after an initial happy period of 3 months roughly, and just in time for my renewal in May, the following started to happen: - the June issue (182) was late and checking my account ...

I would enjoy a page of various puzzles. What about a 'spot the difference', comparing two screenshot with slight variations (e.g. sprites missing or different). The 'screenshots' can also be not real screenshots, but just made up for the game. Also, 'spot the intruder', where among a crowd of a cer...
