Sehr cool! 

Hoffentlich kommen noch mehr Ausgaben. 

[-Stephan-]

Sieht auf jeden Fall schon sehr nett aus Bin auch mal gespannt ob es wirklich regelmäßig erscheint, da dürfte ja auch einiges an Arbeit drin stecken, und es ist ja zumal wenn ich richtig gesehen habe auch kostenlos, ich hoffe mal die daran beteiligen Personen haben genug Motivation das ganze weiterzuführen

[kultboy]

Sehr schick gemacht!

[Herr Planetfall]

Wieso ist denn die Retro Gamer mittlerweile übel? Kenne nur ältere Ausgaben, fand die immer gut.

[cassidy]

Gefällt mir auch ganz Gut, die Retro!?

[-Stephan-]

@cassidy: Ich glaube er meint die Retro Gamer, nicht die Retro selbst. Die Retro Gamer erscheint meines Wissens nur in England bzw. an einigen Bahnhofskiosks in Deutschland, hab aber noch keine davon gelesen..

[cassidy]

Ah, alles Klar! Ich glaube, ich weiß welche Zeitschrift Du meinst! Kenne ich aber auch nur vom sehen!
Ist die nicht Teilabgedruckt in der GamesTM?

[Retro-Nerd]

Stimmt, ich meinte die englische Retrogamer. Die alten Ausgaben sind ja ganz nett, aber die Inhalte waren früher irgendwie besser. Was solls, dieses PDF Magazin ist umsonst und auch ganz nett. Der hohe ZX Spectrum Anteil in dieser Ausgabe liegt mir schwer im Magen. Die lahme Kiste wird in England halt immer noch glorifiziert. 

[Herr Planetfall]

Das war in der Retro Gamer auch so. Die schreiben halt für den englischen Markt.
Mich interessieren Spectrum-Berichte auch nicht.

[Wurstdakopp]

Spannend ist es allemal, früher gab es doch auch Mutliplattformmagazine, da hab ich kein Problem mit, immer her mit den alten Sachen! 

Edit: Wusste gar nicht, dass Home of the Underdogs einen Neustart gemacht haben...

[Herr Planetfall]

An altem Kram brauch ich halt nur C64, Amiga, NES und Master System, den Rest find ich nicht so spannend. Aber gehört natürlich trotzdem in ein Heft, das "Retro" im Titel hat.

[-Stephan-]

Hab bisher von der Retrogramer die gekürzten und ins Deutsche übersetzten Berichte in der GamesTM gesehen, die haben mir eigentlich noch recht zugesagt. Der Vorteil eines englischen Magazines sind natürlich die Nähe zu den ganzen Kult-Entwicklern der Amiga-Szene wie beispielsweise die Herrschaften von den Bitmap Brothers, Sensible Software, etc.

Werde mir die Tage das .pdf mal genauer ansehen, kann da wie gesagt nur den Hut ziehen sowas auf die Beine zu stellen, wäre schön wenn das auf dem deutschen Markt auch mal gelingen würde

[kultboy]

Danke für die Info Retro-Nerd. Sieht ja diesmal wieder richtig gut aus.
