Edge "Retro Collector's" Magazine On Sale Today

fiath · 02 December 2003, 09:41

I've not been able to locate a copy yet (well, its only 9am

) but there is a Edge magazine special all about retro game collecting out today (2nd December).

You can't miss it - it is bright yellow.

I guess only available in the UK unfortuneately...

manicx · 02 December 2003, 10:43

Only in the UK? Balls!

fiath · 02 December 2003, 10:59

I have no idea, it was just a guess. Do you get the normal Edge magazine? If so, perhaps it isn't just UK...

manicx · 02 December 2003, 12:34

Yes, I get it over here. I even got Edge: Retro.

fiath · 05 December 2003, 13:43

Okay, this magazine IS NOW OUT.

I strongly suggest you all go buy a copy if you can. There is a *huge* Amiga section!

I bought four copies

08 December 2003, 12:09

I bought it this morning

And it gives links to HOL and CAPS!!

wtg guys

Unknown_K · 08 December 2003, 12:45

If I cant find the magazine in the US can somebody scan it and make it available?

08 December 2003, 14:26

I won't be home until the weekend, but I will scan it then if no-one else has

manicx · 08 December 2003, 16:39

A friend of mine bought the last copy in WHSmith in Liverpool. That's MY copy! Woohoooooo! It will arrive in Greece next week! Lovely!

Peanutuk · 08 December 2003, 17:45

Had I flick through the mag today in WhSmith. Had about 4-5 pages on the amiga , some of which were just big pictures.

Nice... but for £5 [!!!!] for a fairly slim mag I wasnt really tempted. I hope Edge aren't just going to keep churning these things out willy nilly....

Bloodwych · 08 December 2003, 17:58

It's nice to see retro in current print, but since I have my own collection of oldschool magazines buying it was a bit pointless; price is a little steep too. Perhaps that's why flicking though the mag didn't seem special to me.

Whenever I feel like reading retro, I pick up zero issue 1. Or perhaps a little C&VG. Or The One. hmmmm, nope I'll go with Amiga Format. Or should it be CU Amiga etc etc etc.

I'm lucky enough to have a huge tower of old school mags that are the real deal when it comes to reading about nostalgia.

Shame on anyone here who threw theirs away or made the fatal error of leaving them at their "parents house" for safe keeping, only for them to surprisingly

disappear!!!!

My oldschool magazines were of the Intel PC platform since thats what I was using at the time (doesnt help when you looking for amiga stuff)

Bloodwych · 08 December 2003, 18:20

I realise loads of people like yourself Unknown will find this mag useful, just adding my personal feelings towards it........

..........and getting a dig at those who "lost" their Amiga mags and regret it now.

Peanutuk · 08 December 2003, 18:56

I agree with Bloodwych

I didnt find the Edge mag particularly nostalgic though.... but Amiga Power does get the tiniest of mentions - apparently Amiga Format "spawned" [if that was the word] A.P.

Blasphamy!!!

AP issue zero was actually included with Amiga Format 1 or 2 months before issue 1 was released........so technically they are correct!

cv643d · 08 December 2003, 19:23

is this a follow up to the two previous Edge Retro mags that came earlier this year?

Four.

As they quote CAPS, and even me personally - so no, not really

But the main reason is that they are not all for me.

Yes and no. It is indeed "Retro Issue #3", however the first one was just a load of reviews of games, while the second one was about the making of a load of games. This third one is more about the systems themselves.

Dastardly · 08 December 2003, 23:25

I went looking for this on the day of release and cant find it ANYWHERE! Everywhere sold out straight away.

Is there any chance someone who knows where they can still get a copy get one for me?

PLEASE??????

As a thank you for anyone doing this kind deed for me I will send you either one of these Amiga originals

Beneath a Steel Sky
or
Indy and the fate of Atlantis
