Classic Game Room HD – RETRO GAMER Magazine review
Classic Game Room HD reviews RETRO GAMER magazine, the greatest video game magazine available today. Packed with articles about classic video games like Asteroids, Zelda, Mario Kart, Arkanoid, Metal Slug, R-Type, Robotron 2084 and Metroid, Retro Gamer has some serious depth and awesome reading. They frequently interview designers like Eugene Jarvis (Robotron 2084, Defender) and innovators about their games. RG also has reviews of modern releases for XBLA, Wii Virtual Console and PS3. I enjoy the eBay section where they'll cover eBay prices for various game consoles and collections of odd Sega Saturn games and arcade coin-op machines. Where else can you find a multi-page article about the Vectrex or Sega Nomad? Retro Gamer. It's published in the UK so it can be expensive for American and Canadian consumers (because the dollar isn't worth squat) and it is shipped on the back of dragons from Panzer Dragoon. It's a hefty magazine packed with articles instead of ads. You won't find self serving re-hashed marketing messages sponsored by game companies promoting their own games in there. The team at Retro Gamer actually enjoys games and seems to have been collecting them for decades. If you're in the United States (or elsewhere that RG is not on shelves) you may not find Retro Gamer at your local store, CGR recommends a subscription. It's Retro Gamer, OLD!

Would have loved to see how hte PC version, Amiga Version and Master System versions compaired to the Mega Drive port, and the arcade version. Kinda like what they did with Double Dragon, but they only really compaired the Mega Drive one to the arcade.
Personally think the Amiga version of Golden Axe is my fav. It’s one of two versions I had, the other being the Master System port. Later had the Mega drive one in ’95. This magazine rules….

@caesiume yes they do
I get it every month.. this month the making of Golden Axe was the cover article… one of my fav games ever… but I was slightly dissapointed they didn’t compare ports on it like they did with Double Dragon a few issues back.
I live in australia and it is very avalible over here.

Hi classic game room you can get a app for your iPhone that you can read retro gamer
But the screen might not be the best

Do they still publish this? I always had trouble finding it in the shops even when I did live in the UK. Apparently their original publisher went bankrupt – not sure though.

@dogeymon83
Well I live in the uk so it should be easer to get a hold of.

@CornishCreamtea07 – I went to the website to subscribe. They’ll ship it to the United States. They want about $120 just for the 13 magazines!!!
Ughhhhhh…… never mind that.

I miss having a really good video game magazine.
I would love to subscribe to something again that really tickles me. But I don’t know about the first thing about magazines today. And I”m a little cautious about starting a subscription to something with the iPad now doing magazines. Something tells me there will be an awesome electronic video game magazine on the iPad, if not already.

I have to admit, even Barnes and Noble hasn’t carried it at times. They still carry my other favorite UK mag “Linux Format’”, but disappointed I can’t find RG.
July 29th, 2010 - 08:35
Its a well produced magazine that covers does cover EVERYTHING. Not just Megadrive and SNES stuff, but obscure machines and games you wouldn’t have heard of.
Not sure if you can, I think you can download all issues on an iPhone subscription. Well worth it if you have an iPhone.

@SENATORPAIN1 I don’t suppose they do any deals for Australians on their site? Because you could save a bundle if they did.
July 29th, 2010 - 09:43
i like it to, only problem is its like 15$ in australia and about 2 months out of date, not that that matters though considering all the games are like 20 years out of date.
July 29th, 2010 - 10:05
A magazine so astounding that my mind still can’t fully comprehend it. The first issue I ever read had the making of Frenzy in it. How could I possibly not want to read them all after that?!
July 29th, 2010 - 11:04
I never heard about it; the one videogame magazine i subscribed to is GameInformer. I recomend you check it out. However, it only has modern games, and the May 2010 one will hopefully have a Mario Galaxy 2 review inside
