You can say it is established and selling well, Retro Gamer will be appearing on a six-weekly schedule from issue 3 onwards.

CD on the front features the best and worst from Gremlin, a defunct? UK based software company responsible for stuff like 'Auf Wiedersehen Monty', 'Trailblazer', 'Bounder' and many more titles I like to forget.

Articles about the Acorn computers, Repton games (Boulderdash rip-off), collecting Handhelds, Heroes in games (Batman, Superman etc), Arcade collecting and 6!!! pages of letters.

It is getting better, although still much based on 'TAPE' software stuff. Could be focusing a bit more on 'Stateside' (C-64, Atari 8-bit, Apple II disc software (Doesn't he know Ultima, Bards Tale, Magic Candle, Might and Magic, Spare Change, The Castles of Dr. Creep and all the other great USA games? (Infocom, Broderbund, SSI, EA, Mindscape, Synapse and others)), but it's still early days. I have faith.
