We here at 8bitrocket.com are huge fans of the UK based Retro-Gamer Magazine.   It is the one bright spot on the physical magazine landscape that is otherwise a dried-up and dust bowl of screaming previews and AAA me-too shouting.   We need more magazine like it, and now a new Kickstarter promises a new publication that should please retro game fans world-wide.

“RETRO will be a magazine you will want to own and keep forever as part of your gaming collections.  RETRO will be offered in BOTH digital and print editions and published bi-monthly starting January 2014.  Backers will receive the Premier Issue this December!  Each issue will be a minimum of 52-pages, utilize a maximum of 4-pages of ads and will feature high quality gloss print and thick stock cover.  And ALL PRINT subscriptions will include the digital enhanced versions free! ”

RETRO is the brainchild of Mike Kennedy from GameGavel.com.     You can back it here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/socalmike/retro-the-multi-format-throw-back-video-game-magaz?ref=search
