Retro Gaming Mag Launched
Feb 07 '09
The Bottom Line RetroAction issue 1 is out, and every self-respecting retro-gaming fan should download a copy.
Just letting everyone know about a new ezine called RetroAction - issue one has just been releaed.
I found the magazine to be well-written and very nicely designed. Anyone interested in retro gaming is bound to enjoy this - since I'm a huge fan to The Bitmap Brothers' awesome Speedball 2, the "Retro Respect" article about that game immediately attracted my attention. The DOSbox article is sure to be of interest to PC owners wanting to get old games to work.
Here's the full contents list:
