Okcmallrat here. Just your typical classic gaming fan from Oklahoma. I've been kicking myself for tossing all of my old game mags a while back, so I'm super excited to see a site like this!

Hey everyone! I'm 32 and married. I have been a gamer since I got the NES in junior high. I like to read books and watch some tv.

[jokerschortle]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Shaun and am an avid gamer and somewhat of an retro collector (preferably in digital form).

Over the years, I've sought out places where the old retro commercials, magazines, etc. would thrive.

Growing up, I habitually bought nearly every EGM issue I could get, and sadly, most of my collection get sent to some dampy garage and was disappointed to find the magazines in poor and very dusty shape.

Hello everybody,

I have been gaming for 21 years. My first console was the NES, followed by the Genesis. I stumbled upon this site while looking for some old Game Players issues. Its amazing the dedication you guys have put to preserving older gaming magazines. The main reason I love reading through older gaming mags is nostalgia, especially the select few that I bought while I was a youth. My favourite game developer has to be Treasure (Can't wait for Sin & Punishment 2!). My favourite system is the Genesis. Favourite genre has to be action/platformer.

My other hobbies: Rollerblading, taking pics/videos, comics, anime, wrestling, tennis, driving, and reading.

[ToadT]

I'm ToadT.

I've been gaming since the NES, and I love old games mostly. I wouldn't be able to tell you my favourite game, Series, Company, or even system, as I always try to see the good in all games. (That, and I have too many favourites... )

Mind you, I'm a bit shy on forums in general, but I hope this isn't the only time I'll post. (I also hope that I won't get banned from downloading due to either my inactivity/Noobishness.)

I have little to no Magazine collection, but I like to look at old ones, and your site is the only one that has 'em. Others are just dead Torrents and the like.

(I also like some anime as well. )

[joerocks1981]

Hey there.

I'm Joe, and am 27. My favorite systems are the Atari 2600, NES and SNES, and my hobbies are art, creating my webcomic, current gen and retro gen video games, and layout.

My magazine of choice was Diehard Gamefan.

I can't exactly think of a lot to say at the moment, but am a huge fan of Retromags, and look forward to participating in the forum a lot more often!

[youruglyclone]

Hi I'm 27 from NYC, and I recognize a couple people on this thread (yo yo liquidpolicenaut). I always wanted to do what phillyman has set up, but never had the drive to do it. so I thank him personally for doing this. I look forward to contributing magazines to the scanners to ensure that these magazines get preserved for all who want to see it.

[KusMoG X]

Hi. I'm 27 years old and I'm from Brooklyn, NY. I've been gaming since I was... 5 or 6 years old.

I used to steal Nintendo Powers from Toys R Us by hiding them underneath my jacket or taking one of their bags near the checkout and then going to the aisle and stuffing it in the bag.

All my old video game mags suffered the same fate as my comic books, baseball cards, and Marvel cards: decomposing at some landfill thanks to my parents.

Games I am playing at the moment are Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Persona 4, and Valkyria Chronicles.

[~NeonFire~]

Hey, I'm a student from Canada who's obsessed with everything 90s (and video games). I saw a torrent on Mininova of Nintendo Power magazines with [retromags.com] in the title so I decided to come check out the site. So excited to see some of these old magazines!

[alternate90sguy]

I am the Alternate 90's Guy. I like both new and old games. I also like the internet.

[RySenkari]

I guess I should introduce myself... I'm 21 and a huge fan of the old Nintendo Power magazines. I was a subscriber for about 11 years from 1993-2004, though I stopped a while back :(

[Ferneu]

Hey there!

I'm from São Paulo - Brazil and I've found this sire while looking for

old (very old) EGM editions. And when I saw what you guys have here....

WOW!!!!

By the way, perhaps I can contribute a little on the international section.

I just need to known how can I search (for avoiding dupes) and upload

the older magazines I have here.

I also have lots of non scanned mags, but I have neighter the time nor

the skill to scan them. If anyone here who lives nearby would like to

help scanning those, just send me a message

[Venom65437]

Hola everyone! I came across this site completely by accident, but what a cool place!

I don't have much to say about myself at the moment. Just trying to find a job to put this degree to good use, but it isn't easy these days. Hope to speak with you all soon.

[Thor]

Just wanted to say hello to all the new people that have popped on in the last couple days. So... Hello

[gblock]

Ola, stumbled across this place in a torrent search(of all things, your site was in the torrent title). And thought I'd check it out. I'll probably be donating soon, but was wondering how much a lifetime is (the amount cuts off in the window). Anywho, nice to be here and I can't wait to start getting some of the old Nintendo Power's

[Mister Zero]

Hi Retromags forum! I'm a 25 year old gamer from WV, formerly of Fort Lauderdale FL, Long Island NY, and Huntington Beach CA, and I've been playing and following video games and their culture since I was 3. My first system wasn't Atari though, it was in fact the NES. I still own my original NES and play it often, I just replaced the pin connector about a year ago so it would work like new. I also proudly own every system since the NES, excluding a few handhelds and the newer gen of consoles. I also have fond memories of coming across emulators with my friend for the first time circa 1996. We searched on Lycos for 'Nintendo on computer,' came across Nesticle, and have been playing all types of emulators ever since. My favorite emulators right now are the ones I play on my NDS lite with M3 cart.

I've always been in love with gaming mags and have been a fan of Mega Play, Sega Visions, classic Gamepro, and of course Nintendo Power. I saw above that someone was looking for Sonic the Hedgehog comics, I have quite a few from the very beginning, and I may scan them if I can do so by keeping them in decent shape. I was also sort of wondering if anyone had issues of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles magazine from the early 90s. I've been dying to see those again, especially one issue which I swear up and down had a Sonic the Hedgehog comic inside that explained his origins. If anyone has that issue and is willing to scan it, please PM me!

I first came across Retromags a few years back, but didn't join. I thought it was a great idea, though, and since then I've bee lead back here seeking out the old Nintendo Power issues to help me through some games I've been playing lately. I hope to contribute anything I come across while going through my old stacks of junk from years past and hopefully meet some new people to geek out with.

Thanks for making this site! It's a great idea!
