This is an excellent magazine, it's a treasure trove of information and you can see the passion they have for games. Unlike the previous Retro Gamer eMag they put out, the entirety of this collection is by Imagine Publishing, which is a massive leap in quality over the original Live Publishing issues.

They cover gaming mags every now and then too, from what I remember, they've done features on C&VG, Maximum and the UK Official Sega Saturn Magazine. I've seen Retromags credited on one of those articles too I think.

That would be the Sega Saturn Magazine special they did in last years Christmas issue. The beautiful NiGHTS cover with the sparkly snow and glisters glued to it.

Damo over at Meanmachinesmag asked me if I could provide him with specific scans from the entire collection of OSSM for the feature he was writing, and I ended up scanning about 700 pages or so between the 37 issues.

I like the magazine, but refuse to pay $17 an issue. Nor do I want to read them sitting in front of a computer. Darn. :(

Yay my name will be in that DVD then. I belive my website was featured in issue 50.

That is a really cool magazine I just wish it was easier to get ahold of here in the US without having to spend an arm and a leg. I've got 3 issues and it cost me more than what that DVD costs.

I get these mags every now and then over at my local barnes & noble. They also carry EDGE magazine. This surprised the hell out of me when I first went in and saw them there. I didn't think they would sell imported game mags from the UK.

Kinda hard reading magazines on the computer isn't it?

Not really. Sure you cant see the page in it's original size all at once on your screen(unless you got a 32 inch or something) but still, isn't that what we are all doing with the magazine scans posted here, reading them on our PC?

I love this magazine myself, got both DVDs and downloaded the seperate PDFs of each issue elsewhere. Lots of fun retro goodness. If I had $120 some buck to blow, I'd definitely get a sub....here's to hoping for another DVD (or for them to start releasing digital editions) by years end.

Not if you have a decent tablet laptop

I don't have one myself but after having a play on the new HP I am making that my next laptop as the touchscreen folded flat makes using it perfect for using as an electronic magazine.

I have bought the first and the second DVD of this great emag, unfortunately my kids have ruined the box (not the DVD, phew!) of the first issue :(

I have remade one myself to put it back on my shelf but it doesn't look half as nice. If any of you would happen to have the first emag-load1 of retro gamer, would it be possible to scan the cover for me, so i could print it and place it back in the case? That would be really sweet

The one i'm talking about is here: http://www.imagineshop.co.uk/item_show.php?itemID=587

The problem with that would be that it would no doubt be used by individuals that obtained a copy of the DVD by less honest means as well.

It's only the pocket of the DVD, there's no content in it. I don't think that someone who had obtained the DVD by less legal ways would have difficulties finding a scan of the pocket, but i don't know those things, so i'm a bit stuck :(

If it's just for avoiding to spread it, would it be possible to send it to me via pm or in a mail?

I've contacted imagine publishing and the only answer was :"sorry but we are out of stock and that item isn't planned to be produced in a near future"... Otherwise, i would have given mine to a workmate and bought it all fresh for me...
