Retro Gaming Australia

Everybody loves Retro Gamer, because it’s a stonking good read. Every year or so, the lads that run the magazine cherry pick the best articles from the last 12 issues and compile them in these volumes (which they call “bookazines” – nobody’s perfect) and sell them for a pittance.

Well, the fifth of these collections has just been released in the UK. For £9.99, you get 258 pages of the best content from the last 12 months of RG, including The Making of Strider, The History of Tomb Raider, articles on favourites such as Shenmue and Super Metroid along with in-depth interviews with the likes of Geoff Crammond (Grand Prix) and David Crane (Pitfall!).

If you live in Ol’ Blighty, you can pick it up from WH Smiths and Barnes & Noble. Everyone else should be able to order it online through Imagine Publishing.
