Warning to anyone in the UK who thought about buying - but didn't buy - a spare copy of Retro Gamer:
The following will make you cry...

I know the mag is issue #1, but isn't this a bit silly?

When I bought my issue #1 there were three others on the shelf.
I thought "£18? Not worth the risk."

I bought mine mail order direct from the publisher... not a bad magazine... amazing its worth so much already!
Well I've subscribed now, hehe, going to get a free Namco arcade stick thingy too! ace.

I bought the first issue via the Internet, directly from the publisher. It was okay, but not more than that. I prefered the first issue of Manci Games over that one (then again, I don't care for the Sinclair, so that was a big chunk that didn't interest me in the first issue).
One thing's for sure: it's not worth $100!!!!

The next two issues are, trust me, a hell of a lot better now they've listened to feedback and got a lot of reader ideas and submissions aboard. Hell, they've even asked me to come up with a CGE preview article! But this is what happens when people want to get all the issues... #1 was rather underprinted by the looks of it.
