Retro Gamer for US citizens

[LaughingMAN.S9]

quick question, on average, how much cover does the 32 bit generation get in your magazines?

[timewarpgamer]

I just resubscribed, using the YOUTUBE code, and it rang up at 50 pounds, so the discount still works. SCORE!

[DuckTalesNES]

Anyone know where I can pick up a newstand copy? I don't want to shell out $80 before seeing if I'd even want the mag.

[Baloo]

Thanks! That's funny, we write for the same mag and didn't even know it. :P I probably liked what you wrote as well. What name do you write under?

I write under Christian Matozzo.

Barnes & Noble is usually a good bet...

Usually but lately, at least in both Milwaukee and Appleton Wisconsin, I have not seen an issue for a while.

A lot of Barnes & Noble stores have dropped it. I know in San Diego where I used to buy it regularly, both Barnes & Noble locations that always had it stopped carrying it. Luckily, Fry's sells it now along with Edge.

For what it's worth, stores in the Washington DC area still carry Retro Gamer regularly.

For anyone on the fence about buying it, I think that it's probably the best-written video game magazine in print right now (not that there's really much competition). Sometimes I wish that more UK-focused articles on obscure computer systems and games were NES or Genesis material instead, but even those pieces are so well put together that they're still a great read.

Awesome, I just resubbed, too! Hopefully I can find the Mario issue in stores, since I will miss that one. But if not, I guess I can always order online.

Do you know if there Barns and Nobel in Union Station carries it?

Sorry about the spammy nature of this, but I know that a lot of occassional US readers have been put off by Retro Gamer's high price and we've managed to rectify it.

Anyway, as of next issue you'll be able to buy RG from the likes of Borders and Barnes and Nobles for just $10

On top of this a subscription for 13 issues will cost you just $80, far cheaper than the previous offer.

To get this great deal just head to www.imaginesubs.co.uk/RET and type in YOUTUBE in capital letters.

It seems this code actually does work now, and for Canada too no less.
Too bad this is long after the fact it did not work at the time of my renewal several months ago. All I can say is I hope this or a similar offer applies next summer when I may plan to renew for my 5th year of RG. If not, that might be the end of it for me as 80 sterling is a lot, even at the present exchange rates.

When I go to this page it states "Choose your country from the list below" but there is NO list below. The price is still 50 pound but I guess the deal is gone for us on this side of the Atlantic....

Has anyone tried the CD versions from RetroGamer? A compilation of past issues. Are they PDFs and how is the quality?

[RJ]

I have the one thats issues 1-30, then my collection picks up in paper form 31-present. The CD-ROM is PDF, you can zoom in/out on the pages, but every so often there's a "blank" page that says "e-mag" right in the middle. It saves space of course, but it's easier to read a mag wherever/whenever.

Thanks, I'll have to pick this up.

The gaps are due to adverts or the fact that not everyone who wrote for Retro Gamer in the Live days signed a contract with Imagine, so technically those pieces can't be reused without their permission. Hence their omission.

I just got a resubscription notice, with a code for the price of 66GBP. I instead typed in the YOUTUBE code, and it still rings up the price at 50GBP!

[Polygon]

Damnit!

Another awesome thing I didn't know about. Now I want the back issues I've missed.

I just subscribed again (recently I had resorted to picking them up at Barnes & Nobel) and wanted to confirm what gameofyou said.

A standard subscription for the US is 80 GBP but using the "YOUTUBE" code nets 13 Retro Gamer issues for only 50 GBP!!!

[Gavica]

how much is 50 pounds in us dollars
