Retro*Gamer (ISSN 1742-3155) is a British monthly magazine dedicated to the appreciation and exploration of classic video games and gaming history. It was originally launched by Live Publishing in 2004, then acquired by Imagine Publishing in 2005, and finally taken over by Future Publishing in 2016.
It is available in both print and digital editions. Its subtitle, "The essential guide to classic games," and the bold warning "OLD!" emphasize its focus on the retro computer scene. The magazine contains articles and reports covering the software and hardware of many classic home computer systems, such as those from Commodore, Sinclair, Sega, Nintendo, Atari and Acorn etc.
As of February 2025, Retro*Gamer has published at least 268 issues, along with special editions covering video consoles, game genres, and home computer systems.
German Retro Gamer[edit | edit source]
In addition to the English language version, there is a German edition of Retro Gamer, first published quarterly by Heise's subsidiary eMedia under the title retro* Gamer from 2012 to 2023, with Jörg Langer as the project manager. This project was closed by Heise at the end of 2023.
In 2024, the German edition of retro* Gamer was relaunched by the new publisher Publishing Office Langer, along with the established editorial team. The magazine, still published four times a year, features content licensed from the British originals.
