Retro Gamer, is now on issue 5, and is now a monthly publication and is on sale in shops in the U.K

It's pretty good too.  |D

Does anyone else read it?  ???

I just recieved issue 4 to start my subscription.

It is a little heavy on computer games for my taste but i
still recommend it

I've been meaning to find a copy of this somewhere.  It's not in grocery stores or anything around here, but I bet I could find it in Barnes & Noble or something.  Too bad the closest one is a twenty minute drive from me and I have no access to a car.

I have never heard of it what does a subscription cost and where would i find it?  I touched on in another post a Tips&Tricks is pretty good they have a monthly section for collectors.

Well issues 4 and 5 plonked onto my  doorstep on Tuesday, took them with me when I went to graduate for some reading material, and I have to say I am very impressed with the magazine... and I'm only about halfway through issue 4!  I don't think I've ever read a magazine cover to cover on picking up for the first time, but I am definitely getting there with this one, even the features which I may have had no interest in (or perhaps not known much about) I found myself immersed in due to the excellent way the articles are presented.

I urge those who haven't read at least 1 copy to go and do it now :)

Maybe I'll pick one of these up before I fly up to Michigan on Monday.  Could be nice material for planes and airports.

I stuck an ad in for RFGen in the clubs section, so look out for it in the next couple of issues.  Oh and someone has also informed me that they have issues 1 to 3 at work, which they are willing to sell to me at postage costs, woot! :D

postage costs?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Issue 1 sells for £30 or so on eBay. :)

I know and I actually told him that, he just said 'I'll find them for you and you can have them for the price of postage', nice guy :P

Thanks for posting that ad, man!  I'm at least one person here that's very glad to hear it!  And, that's certainly very cool of that guy you work with.  Be sure to let us know if he ends up getting them to you.
