Looks nice, between this and RETRO GAMER I'm just loving the "looking back" love of these mags. I wonder why it's publications always from the UK though? American mags try and always crash & burn on the Retro & Vintage stint for some odd reason. Shoot GameGo Magazine only ever lasted one freggin' issue.

Good Stuff!

i would love to read it, but in print. you say its 1.99? i only see prices of about $10.00 an issue for USA customers, which is where the majority of this forum is from.
