Retro Gamer Issue 35

[strider]

What really annoys me though, is that you cannot get older issues of the mag.
Retro-Retro-Reprints - one day....
Great art(icle) though!

This is being rectified. We're thinking of releasing a CD with the first 30 issues in PDF form.

Neo Geo feature

In issue 34 of Retrogamer, there was a nice feature on the Sega Saturn system. Has there ever been a feature like this written for the Neo Geo system? If so, I would like to know which issue it was.

Not yet, mainly because I've just received quotes about the machine from SNK itself . Should be in a few months time I would have thought.

 

[jeff bogard]

i was gonna buy 3 issues but the total came out to like 27 pounds.

I didn't fee like spending 50 USD on 3 magazine issues...

anybody in the US ever bought from their online store?

 

[Darklighterx]

I normally page thru it at B&N, but can never bring myself to spend the 10 bucks or so that it costs. The price is just to high compared to other domestic mags.
It is a great read though.

I would order it, but at that store posted above the only means to pay is by credit card, and mine is locked cause i confused some pin numbers a while ago (and until i come home in june i won't be able to have it unlocked, i think).

Nice

EDIT: On a side note this sites been mentioned a few times in the mag, can't wait to read that feature if it happens mate.

 

[jeff bogard]

Did anyone in the US bought it online? cause i want to know the total....

 

[SNKJorge]

I was never able to find it.
None of the bookstores I usually go to had it this time. The time I actually
was going to buy it, they don't have it. Anybody find it at all?

 

[FalcomAdol]

Borders still has issue 34 on the shelves here in Boston.

I'll check in again in the next couple weeks to see if 35 shows up.

 

[Stellaking]

34 and 35 are worth it alone for the assembler drama.

36 just dropped thru the letterbox the other day.

EDIT: You may have to go eBay UK or via the on-line ordering
option.

Here's the exclusive art that Falcoon drew to complement the article

not bad for Falcoon (I'm not a fan)

 

[FalcomAdol]

34 does have what appears to be the draft art of that image. I'll post it tonight.

 

[Moon Jump]

I checked my local B&N and they still have 34, hopefully they'll get 35 soon.

It's good reading man...

Kadowaki was banging on about the Taito F-3 and throwing old KOF to Xbox live out of JP territory...

Who is Kadowaki?

 

[Stellaking]

Akihito Kadowaki... SNK/Playmore rep.

 

[DZ]

anyone in the US find this yet?

still no sightings in Boston....

 

[FalcomAdol]

It was in the Borders near Government Center in Boston at 11AM today.

 

[aria]

It was official: the Barnes & Nobles I usually go to for Retro Gamer has discontinued carrying it.

I don't know of anywhere else in Minneapolis/St. Paul, a metropolitan area of around 4 million people, that has it.

I guess I'm SOL.

 

[jdotaku]

I'd like to read it but BN.com doesn't have it and I doubt the local store does either

 

[Darkneo]

I am still waiting for a copie of issue 35 at my newsagent

 

[aria]

It finally showed up at a totally random B&N where I normally never find it.

Retro Gamer needs to do two things, desperately:

(1) Replace their US distributor

(2) Get rid of the tacky quasi-porn in the back pages.

Still, it was nice issue overall, and is now sitting in my company's reception area until the new one (whatever issue we're lucky to get) comes in.

 

[kernow]

god bobak you're strange

like anyone is going to read it in reception

 

[FalcomAdol]

PC magazines have a long tradition of having porn ads in the back. Even CGW had them up until a few years ago.

I have two copies of this magazine, if anyone would like a copy, PM me and I'll send one to you.
