Welcome to Retromags, the vintage video game magazine archive

Welcome to Retromags, the vintage video game magazine archive. This site is all about digitally preserving video game magazines from yesteryear. You'll find hundreds of full issues to download and thousands of scanned magazine covers. Game magazines used to be incredibly important to the game industry, and while those days are long gone thanks to the Internet and World Wide Web, that does not mean those old magazines shouldn't be remembered and enjoyed today. This site allows you to do so easily and digitally. It's a nice alternative to having to have boxes of magazines stored in your house if that's something you don't want.

We are always looking for help, be it scanning or donating magazines, or contributing to the site in other forms. It costs nothing to be a member of this site. We do not sell anything on this site, and there are no ads. There are no profits made on this site; any money that is ever obtained by this site goes towards the cost of hosting the site.

A Note to Publishers and Content Owners
This site is set up to digitally preserve video game magazines from 1999 and earlier for current magazines. The rules for defunct magazines vary on a case-by-case basis. We do this because issues of these magazines are not readily available from publishers/content owners. While we don’t have legal permission, we operate in a way where we do not release anything that will reduce any potential income for you, or magazines that are available from you, nor do we release scans that are of a quality that may reflect poorly on you. So far this has worked, with several publishers/content owners basically ignoring our existence.

However, if you wish that we do not make content that you legally have ownership available on this site, just let us know and we will remove it. While we would prefer permission, we will fully oblige with your wishes concerning your content. This is a hobby we do out of passion and love for the video game magazines of yesterday, and not worth legal battles of any kind.

CardinalXimenez  : (01 February 2012 - 11:33 AM) I´m late to the naked party, but here´s the latest Tomb Raider porn movie: http://kotaku.com/58...-is-even-better
E-Day  : (31 January 2012 - 05:19 PM) Since always.
DPsx7  : (31 January 2012 - 05:16 PM) I've even had a PS3 since a few months after launch which has never seen a non-game disc. Hell I don't think my PS2 did either.
DPsx7  : (31 January 2012 - 05:14 PM) Since when? Think I said this in the topic but I haven't seen a 'movie' since the Matrix. The only 2 exceptions were a borrowed copy of Jackass 3.5 and a gift of the Simp's movie.
E-Day  : (31 January 2012 - 07:13 AM) You should. Movies are great.
DPsx7  : (31 January 2012 - 02:02 AM) I played Heavy Rain but it didn't quite get to 'that' point. Only reason I know Centipede is from a Tosh.0 ep. I don't watch movies.
Areala  : (30 January 2012 - 10:37 PM) And then, of course, "Human Centipede" :)
Areala  : (30 January 2012 - 10:18 PM) Two words for you, DPsx7: "Heavy Rain". ;)
E-Day  : (30 January 2012 - 09:46 PM) Even with all the recent difficulties with our collection of scans, I have released a new one tonight. Sega Visions Issue 23 February-March 1995 is now available as a direct download.
DPsx7  : (30 January 2012 - 06:01 PM) Naked people on a gaming-related site? Yeesh, awkward...
KiwiArcader  : (28 January 2012 - 03:08 PM) Ahhh .... I thought you left out 'a' in the sentence. :)
Areala  : (28 January 2012 - 02:32 PM) I'm bringing sexy...front?
KiwiArcader  : (28 January 2012 - 02:25 PM) I thought your front was more sexy?
Areala  : (28 January 2012 - 01:25 PM) I'm bringing sexy back.
KiwiArcader  : (27 January 2012 - 01:26 AM) I'd love to be a fly on her wall :blink:
Areala  : (26 January 2012 - 11:37 PM) I don't suggest anything I'm unwilling to do myself. ;)
Schloss Ritter  : (26 January 2012 - 01:14 PM) You first, Areala :-P
E-Day  : (26 January 2012 - 07:25 AM) I'm always naked.
KiwiArcader  : (26 January 2012 - 12:50 AM) All NGC Magazines on OGM are now available via Rapidshare. What a job reloading everything. Going to take a while ...
Mister Zero  : (25 January 2012 - 10:33 PM) =O
Areala  : (25 January 2012 - 08:54 PM) It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes. Now.
Mister Zero  : (24 January 2012 - 02:00 AM) Yeah, I'm pretty sure some of the guys who worked on that are on the team for Pinball Arcade. Very good quality.
Jake  : (23 January 2012 - 08:03 PM) Have you tried Visual Pinball?
Mister Zero  : (22 January 2012 - 10:41 PM) On a lighter note, I was chosen to beta test The Pinball Arcade!!!
E-Day  : (22 January 2012 - 07:01 PM) I have no plan on paying for a file sharing account somewhere. They are all expensive, none that I have seen are "lifetime" accounts, and there is no guarantee that they won't go under either. Torrents may be the only option right now, but a crappy one.
Mister Zero  : (22 January 2012 - 04:02 PM) I'm down for the torrent idea. They can't stop a torrent without a lot of hassle. At this point we can't trust the file sharing sites, especially if E-Day is putting up money for an account that could end up gone at any moment.
Bablefish  : (21 January 2012 - 11:02 AM) It's also the easiest one to use
KiwiArcader  : (20 January 2012 - 03:34 PM) Yep ... I was looking at the different alternatives and settled on it as easy to use and all I needed.
Bablefish  : (20 January 2012 - 03:19 PM) I have been using Wordpress for quite a while and I love it.
KiwiArcader  : (19 January 2012 - 08:43 PM) I am using Wordpress now instead of mediawiki. I like it more even if mediawiki was more open-ended
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 08:37 PM) Same here. Maybe that would motivate me to switch over to Drupal for the site with a sub forum instead of the current software.
KiwiArcader  : (19 January 2012 - 08:29 PM) I hear you. Worst comes to worst I'll scan them for personal use and my site will just be there to document my collection.
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 08:05 PM) Yeah, I am not willing to get arrested for this site.
KiwiArcader  : (19 January 2012 - 07:57 PM) yep ... pretty messy all round really. And to think most arrests came locally to me. Geez ...
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 07:56 PM) IF MU comes out of this, then we can continue on as usual. I am just not sure how long that will take and what to do in the meantime.
KiwiArcader  : (19 January 2012 - 07:10 PM) Pretty strange. The last 4 files on my site are now available via Filesonic and I am uploading the previous ones at the present time.It isn't much but what the heck ...
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 06:54 PM) IANAL, of course.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 06:53 PM) If that's what their argument is, Kiwi, then MegaUpload is protected by safe harbor provisions already on the books, and they'll have gotten themselves a helluva lot more allies.
KiwiArcader  : (19 January 2012 - 06:49 PM) Bit hard to figure as they were taken to court in the USA previously and because they complied with all takedown requests it was thrown out. This time they are making it comparable to saying an ISP is responsible for their users activities.
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 06:45 PM) No one is shutting down. Don't jump the gun here ;). We can always take a wait-and-see approach.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 06:36 PM) However, they did comply with every DMCA request they were sent. Anyway, if we're shutting down, fine, but at least let's put all the work that's been done into scanning old issues of magazines into torrents or something else, so it wasn't wasted, and so people have access to that information (which is the reason why this site was started in the first place).
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 06:31 PM) I am not sure how MegaUpload will come out on top. Feigning ignorance over what is hosted on their servers is not a viable defense. I am reluctant to put the large amount of work into moving everything to a new hosting site when that site could be the next one to be shut down.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 06:21 PM) Either that or we need to put torrents together of what we have so we don't have to worry about this problem again.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 06:21 PM) Well, if Retromags is going to keep running, then we'll need to put what we've got somewhere else in the meantime - as I'm pretty sure that MegaUpload will come out of this on top.
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 06:09 PM) I don't even know if it's worth putting everything onto another file hosting site because the same thing will probably happen there as well.
E-Day  : (19 January 2012 - 06:09 PM) Well, this is a real kick in the balls.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 04:14 PM) On the "bright" side - I'd finished downloading all of Sega Visions - so I can work with that after I'm done with the Nintendo Fun Club Newsletter.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 04:14 PM) Yeah. The feds could not have picked a worse time to do this. I'd taken my Video Game Magazine Write-Up series to the Hardcore Gaming 101, and was going to re-download some old issues of Nintendo Power when this happened.
Count_Zero  : (19 January 2012 - 04:12 PM) Yes I do.
Phillyman  : (19 January 2012 - 04:05 PM) Hey Count, remember the old days of SuperNova and MiniNova?
