Welcome to the Retrogames Hub
This is our new, evolving online magazine section. Not only will it includes features and articles from the past, updated pages from the ‘real paper’ retrogames magazine, but brand new in-depth features on the history of
gaming. Hopefully, it’s not all going to come from us either, as we’re now looking for guest articles to publish along side our own.

Our Online Letters Page
The letters page was always a popular part of the retrogames magazine. Despite the halt in retrogames issues,
the letters keep coming, and we’ve picked a few of the best from the past couple of years to start our new Online Letters Page. It is a step away from message boards featured on other sites, as we will choose the more interesting topics, and reply to them too! Hopefully this will provide a page you can both enjoy reading, and contribute to. Simply email us with your letters, opinions, complaints, or information and we’ll do our best to update the page at least once a month.

Fancy writing a Feature for Retrogames?
We are currently looking for more features and articles to add to this part of the website. We often had guest features in our original magazine, and some of these writers went on to contribute to the glossy magazines on the shelves of WHSmith. If you have an article you’d like to write, about any facet of retrogaming, then do get in touch. Intelligent articles on machines or ingredients of retrogaming we haven’t covered before are preferred, but if you have any ideas, just email us and we’ll get back to you. There is no need to set the article out, a simple word or text document, along with any photos or captions you wish to add, will be fine. Unfortunately, you will not get paid for your contribution, but the Retrogames site does attract over a million hits per month, so accepted features will definitely be well read.

Jace’s Doesn’t like the PSP
A new Rant sees Jace find another console to pick holes in. You’d think he’d just give up on current gaming and sit and fiddle with his Microvision or something. Actually, now you come to think of it, there’s probably more first party games for that!

Retrogames Magazine still available
We still have issues of the Retrogames available, though only the last two, issues 22 and 23. Both are full colour and highly recommended (obviously!) We receive many emails and letters regarding future issues of the magazine, at present there are no plans to begin issue 24, though don’t write it off completely. With quality printed copycat magazines now available in your highstreet, it does take away considerable demand, and dull the enthusiasm to produce it. Our efforts to add new features and articles to this part of the website, creating a kind of online magazine, will hopefully fill the void left by the magazine. That said, if we’re lucky enough to stumble across another exclusive like the Virtual Boy Face Off, then issue 24 may still get off the starting blocks.

New Favourite Links Section
The wealth of retrogaming inspired sites out there is phenomenal. With this in mind, we are introducing a favourite links section (for those with a smaller screen, scroll right). For the moment, it will include our favourite sites of the moment, and those which may be useful to other readers. If anyone else wants to recommend a site (which doesn’t sell products), or if you run a site which you think we’d like, and want to exchange links, then email us.

Retrobloke.com
While I pride myself on keeping Retrogames advert free, it’s possibly time
to remind you all of our sister site, which
specialises in old and hard to find vinyl.

Handheld Museum
The fantastic site of fellow handheld collector, Rik Morgan, if your game isn’t on his site, then it’s super rare. 

The Japanese Alphabet
This is an invaluable site if like me, you are forever trying to work out the equivalent English names of rare Japanese games.
