Retro Gamer forum

F bombs don't even register with me, that's just how people (including me) talk.

Yup, I love Retro Gamer magazine. I don't like 100% of the content, but honestly that's my problem not the magazine. There is always something in every issue that is a great read. Keep it up guys.

I think adding the Movie one is a good idea, gives a flavour of the time. Speaking of the charts, how are they worked out given they are for the whole month, when the charts are usually compiled weekly?

Glad it made you smile. The interview he did with Jeff Minter for a Big K cover story is definitely worth a read too while you're there!

Yeah, I've downloaded all the Big Ks now so will have a read of that interview.

This is the first issue in ages where i've flicked through it and nothing has jumped out at me as a must read. I'll still enjoy reading it, but not Dog's Life which is really not something I'd expect to find in RG. Started reading this now and I have to say I really enjoyed the Tony Takoushi interv...

Out of curiosity, I stopped subscribing years ago, is Edge good again or is it still a pretentious business rag? I've been subscribing since issue 6 and have constantly over the years threatened to stop doing so but never have. For all it's po-faced attitude to the fun of video games I do still fin...

I got my Subs copy last week sometime. That does sort of suggest yours has gone missing.

I haven't noticed anything different about it at all.

Me either. I swear some people spend more time worrying about the supposed non-quality of the magazine than actually reading it!

Yeah that does happen quite a bit, a coupe of issues back there were captions in really dark green on black for the MUD article, my eyes couldn't read them.

Loving that cover It does remind me how different the actual space invaders in the game are to the side art ones though!

I love the new Subscriber cover, but last months Tetris one less so. So there you go a 50% hit rate. To be honest though the cover could be a plain black and it'd matter not a jot to me. Remember when Edge was on the shelves in a plastic bag so you couldn't see the cover or the contents and it's lat...

Another good issue. A very interesting article about Daytona, the fact you interviewed so many of the guys who worked on it was definitely a plus. I for one love the cover, both the style and the minimulist nature of it. I understand others saying that not having anything on these that suggests what...

Did you have any involvement in the conversions to home computers/consoles of any of your early Arcade games?

Loving this issue, I'm 50 odd pages in and haven't skipped an article yet. Good job guys.
