Expanded magazine will cater to retro-gamers, home game room enthusiasts and coin-op collectors
Steele Publishing, LLC announces today that it has completed the acquisition of GameRoom Magazine, which will join RetroBlast as part of the Steele Publishing Family. Steele’s plan to expand and update the magazine includes adding consumer retrogaming news and articles alongside GameRoom’s industry-leading coverage targeting coin-op, video arcade, and pinball game collectors.
“The home arcade and game room movement has expanded dramatically over the past several years, as has the retrogaming market,” says Kevin Steele, owner of Steele Publishing and founder of the RetroBlast web site. “The merger of GameRoom Magazine and RetroBlast creates a unique opportunity to provide unparalleled coverage of home arcade news and reviews.”
Planned changes to GameRoom Magazine include expanded coverage of consumer retro-games, emulation, and the rapidly growing home arcade market. Additionally, the magazine will be moving to a higher-quality print process, with high-gloss paper and additional color. A new RetroBlast column will also be featured in future issues of GameRoom Magazine.
“I am excited by Kevin’s vision for the future of GameRoom Magazine and RetroBlast!,” says Tim Ferrante, former Publisher. “After having published GameRoom for the past 9 years, I am thrilled to be able to hand the GameRoom Magazine legacy over to such a talented and enthusiastic writer.”
