Unfortunately since Barnes & Nobile went out its been hard to find a Magazine as such but the asking price is well worth the subscription.Its packed to gills with great info and I find myself going back to issues to read over and over again.
(I understand no much help) :(

EDIT:Oops,I meant Borders as well.Is B&N even out of business?My fault. :oops:

They sell retro gamer at frys, its a huge electronics store that has pretty much everything. I buy each issue monthly for 9.99.

You can subscribe to RetroGamer on iOS devices as well, if digital is convenient/desirable to you. I checked out a free issue on the ipad once and it was formatted very nicely.

Oh, how ironic; reading a digital copy of a magazine whose main draw is its nostalgia factor. Still, I 'm definitely downloading some issues then.
