Shake well before serving

Retro Gamer is easily the cream of the crop because it often reveals new insight on classic games and they interview developers years after games have released. The current issue features SNK's Neo Geo prominently as its cover story.
The print subscriptions for these magazines are all over $60 since they have to be imported. My only complaint about the digital subscription is that you have to download the magazines and can't just view them online. If you download them as traditional scans, the files can be quite large. There's also a tablet-friendly version that is a lighter download.

Thanks, I got a digital sub for Retro Gamer. If I like their stuff I'll probably end up subbing to the print edition.

Agreed on Retrogamer. I got it a while back, but stopped reading it.

Before I jump in, how do I access on my iPad? Is there a specific app or do I have to download the scans and read them?

There's a Retro Gamer app. You have to jump through some hoops to activate it, the process is kinda wonky. Tip: Leave the "subscriber number" blank, because none of the numbers given to you are your subscriber number, somehow. That was the part I had the biggest problem with.
edit: also mine came with like a year of backissues too, which was nice. Had a great time reading through the issue with the Monkey Island cover feature.

Tempted to sub to PCGamer because that's where I get most of my gaming news, but not really seeing what I am missing out on now versus just checking the site. Anyone subbed? Any info on whether the magazine has information worth paying for?

Thanks OP. Ended up buying a year of PC Gamer physical at a bit of a discount. Saved even more with Honey add-on. Excited to have my first physical gaming mags in forever!

So, is this still going on? I'd definitely like to grab a few of these.
Yes, it's a January sale.

Appreciate the heads up. I snagged a year of Retro Gamer. I really like their compilation issues when I catch them in the bookstore.
Out of curiosity, is there any way to get this in a PDF format or something? If I can work with it outside an app, that'd be great. If not, no biggie.
