Just thought I would share some info about these 'Bookazines' I discovered in Hong Kong a few weeks ago. They are called RETRO COLLECTION and RETRO VOL. X and they're put out by RETRO GAMER MAG in the UK (the monthly mag is also great but I love these special issues especially!) They are 'bookazines' as they call them and they're crazy thick, beautifully made, and have tons, and I mean TONS of developer interviews, game reviews, TONS of images, etc. And they're all and only about classic console and arcade gaming. I think they are the best magazines I have ever read. They're that good! They are UK magazines so they do cover some classic console stuff that we didn't have over here. Cardscan Executive 700c Driver there.

But not tons of it. Check it out: These are the special bookazine issues (these are the best!!!): They are pricey but absolutely some of the best reading around. They are FABULOUS.

Good quality product. AMAZING stuff. You can find the other ones from this series on ebay. This is the cover for the most recent bookazine issue: And here is one of the 'VOLUME' issues http://www.imagine-publishing.co.uk/media/cache/shop_small/upload/products/r/e/retro_vol03_aa6eue37u.jpg. I second this! Retro Gamer is an expensive mag stateside but it is totally worth the cost. Each issue has around a dozen arcade related articles as well as dozens of other articles about everything from the Atari 2600 to the Nintendo Gamecube.

This is the only place I have found consistent articles interviewing gaming creators. In fact, issue 93 had a detailed article on Computer Space including interviews with Nolan Bushnell, Steve Baristow, Al Alcorn, and Ted Dabney. Other arcade games covered in this issue included Galaga (again, with creator interviews), Shock Troopers, Taz Mania, Power Drve, Mad Motor, Rastan (complete with restored cab), as well as a few others.

The magazine is great generally, although a bit much focussed on popular systmes in the UK now and then (Spectrum, Amstrad). Some issues contain little arcade related stuff, but those who do are great. I got a couple of printed issues, and now three on my iPad, Their APP for reading them is a piece of sh.though especially after the switch to iOS5. Crashes very often for no reason, sometimes I have black pages in between good pages and I cant zoom in as far as I want (release it and it zooms back out a bit.) However its still a lot cheaper than getting a printed issue and a lot faster too, even here in The Netherlands and I think thats only more true for the US. :D How much do you guys in the States pay for an issue? They cost $15.40 here in Australia, worth every cent though! I first saw it on the stands here in the U.S.

Several years ago and at the time they were $14.99, so I never bought them. This past summer I was in the Barnes & Noble store in my neighborhood because my parents were visiting and my mom wanted to go there.

(I never go there normally.) Issue #89 was on the stands at the time and B&N wanted $9.99 so I picked it up. That was the Commodore 64 issue and I was a C64 geek as a kid, so it was worth the money to me. I'd love to get all the back issues but most are out of print and unavailable. I know they have the PDF archives but they just aren't the same. I like physical magazines. I am totally diappointe by the Frogger article in the latest issue though. After reading the piece of junk they called 'the history of Frogger' I STILL know ZERO about the history of the game.

They BARELY touch the original arcade version.There is not even a NAME of the guy(s) behind this game!! NOTHING is told about the process of designing the original, no interviews with the programmer/developper. For Christs sake, there isnt even a picture of the arcade machine!!!!!!

After about 2 colums reading we get a souped up list of raunchy follow up games which are either totally uninteresting or plain trash. Virtual Villagers 3 Apk Free Download. Frogger is Frogger and he shouldnt be walking straight up or in fact do anything else than crossing that road and pont!!!

DEEPLY disappointed by this article, it seems like it was written bij a 20 year old who thinks a Playstation2 is a classic system. Definitly not on par like articles about Asteroids. *:( >:( >:( >:(. Yes, it's weird they left out cabinet photography, but the articles are good. They focus mainly on the history and development behind the games.
