    I think I'll pick up a copy solely for the Outrun feature. Thanks for the tip!

    You can get it in the U.S. at Barnes & Nobles and Borders. We're one issue behind though.

    I just picked up this issue at a nearby Chapters. Although quite pricey, it is definitely what I have been looking for in a video game magazine. Every issue I have ever seen looks so interesting. It's actually the first time I've seen one at a store so I had to buy it.

    It is only available in the UK, but you can order it worldwide directlly from their website.

    Too bad it´s so expensive.

    They've recently released a DVD featuring the first thirty-something issues of Retro Gamer; I don't know if it's a limited edition or something like that (or just sold out too often!), but it's been selling like hot cakes.

    I've been buying my issues at Barnes & Nobles. I have not seen it in Borders yet. I wish that I had a membership there so that I can get the mag. for 10% off. Too bad they charge you (Barnes & Nobles) $25 once a year. Feck that!

    BTW, I saw the brilliant article about you and your addictive site. They did a horrible job with your picture though. You look mysterious and dark!

    I have missed issue #49! My first issue was #50, missed it by one! I will have to wait till they release a second volume collection of the next 30 issues on DVD!

    Speaking of the DVD collection, I finally got it in the mail. I forgot to mention it earlier when I got it. It took a month to get it! Yikes! They should've offered better shipping. The good thing about the PDFs of all the first 30 issues in the DVD is the compatibility. It can be used on both Mac and PC. The bad thing is the quality of the images used. It looks like they were saved in 72 dpi! Most of the images and the captions below the images look blurry!

    Can anyone scan that interview with Melf some issues back and post it here?


    Buy stuff at the Magical Game Factory, WaterMelon's crowd funding video game development site!

    Do YOU have any games you want to get rid of that haven't been reviewed on the site and needs to be beaten for the sake of this project? Send 'em to me and I'll review and beat them! I'll pay for shipping of course. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
