Received my second issue today and already thumbed through most of it. Still very pleased with backing it.

I ordered it individually to give the mag a test drive before subscribing, but there's no tracking on orders from GameGavel! I'll just to feverishly check the mailbox like I did in the halcyon days of print gaming mags.

So GameGavel, the parent company of this magazine, were bought out by GameStop?

Does anyone care?

That was an April Fool's joke.

To those of you who have backed or subscribed to RETRO, feel free to chime in on your thoughts about the magazine so far in this thread that I made this morning:

I'm not crazy about Pat, unless he's specifically an NES consultant. His knowledge is very, very focused to NES, TG16, and very little everything else. No import stuff.

I'm kind of afraid a US Retro magazine will be nothing but S/NES all day every day =[

^pat knows about Turbo? huh

my issue came in, hoping to have time to read it soon! too early to say how SNES heavy it is, but i'm mostly hopeful the Gamestop buyout doesn't change anything up.

Great news with the Barnes & Noble deal! Hope that gives the magazine a nice bump in circulation.

Available at BN? I'll be buying it! Awesome news.

Edit: Scratch that, I'll just subscribe!

ScOULaris · May 1, 2014

Wait a second. From the preview picture for the cover of Issue #3, it looks like it is no longer staple-bound. Is that the case, or is that just an inaccurate render of the actual magazine?

GameGavel · May 22, 2014

It's hard to believe we are already mailing out our third issue of RETRO Magazine. Here is a short preview of what you can expect when it arrives. Not yet a subscriber? Visit http://www.ReadRetro.com and get a great gaming magazine sent to your mailbox like back in the day.

^nice! great cover too, can't wait. let's see if Kohler does the Genesis library justice, heh.

also i gotta admit, i was a little bummed Strider didn't make the cover but the timing didn't work out, admittedly.

Polioliolio · May 22, 2014

Yearning for a magazine like this.. Glad to see it's still alive and well.
Now that a few issues have been out, Is it true to the cast/staff advertised in the OP?

mattiewheels · May 22, 2014

That cover is beautiful. You guys should offer large prints of ones this good.

My subscription started at issue #2 (I've since received issues 2 and 3).

Does anyone know if I can purchase a digital PDF copy of issue #1? Or if there's someone somewhere who's selling a print copy of issue #1?

Thanks! I'll be subscribing to your print edition. I miss good old fashioned mags I can flip through on my porch on a lazy summer day. EGM just isn't the same anymore and I let that subscription lapse. I only get Game Informer now so getting Retro will be cool.

Should I still be waiting for the 3rd issue? I received 1 and 2 no problem and I just got a Kickstarter update that the 4th issue will be mailed soon. Am I SOL for the 3rd issue?

IrishNinja · Aug 29, 2014

just got my sticker in the mail yesterday, not even sure what to put it on yet but it's awesome!

GameGavel · Sep 6, 2014

Just a heads up that we have gone to presses with RETRO Videogame Magazine Issue #4. Here's a sneak peek:
