Imagine Publishing offers up a true slice of gaming history on iPad

Imagine’s mammoth back catalogue rollout begins, as every issue of Retro Gamer hits Apple Newsstand

Imagine Publishing is pleased to announce that every single back issue of its award-winning magazine Retro Gamer is now available to download from Apple Newsstand.

Retro Gamer was first launched by Live Publishing in January 2004 as a quarterly publication, but received so much interest that it eventually became a monthly magazine. When Live Publishing went into liquidation, Imagine Publishing stepped in and resurrected the massively popular brand, which is still enjoying huge success today.

Since its relaunch in 2005, Retro Gamer has gone from strength-to-strength, winning industry awards and interviewing some of the biggest and most important developers in the business. It has also built up an impressive array of exclusive content, the likes of which can’t be found in any other publication.

The ability to download back issues from Newsstand not only puts a huge amount of excellent exclusive content at your fingertips, but also allows you to finally get your hands on the fabled first issue for a bargain price. This is an opportunity for anyone who truly loves gaming to sample real videogame history, and is the perfect publication to begin Imagine Publishing’s rollout of its entire back catalogue.

“I’m absolutely delighted that every single issue of Retro Gamer is now available on Newsstand,” said Retro Gamer Editor Darran Jones. “The early issues by Live Publishing created a great foundation for us to build on and it is highly satisfying to see how the magazine has continued to evolve over the past seven years. It’s also the perfect opportunity for readers to finish their otherwise incomplete collections at a very reasonable price.”

“Retro Gamer is such an important magazine to this industry,” added Rick Porter, Editor In Chief. “The magazine is loved by both the industry and its hugely loyal readership, and this is a great opportunity for anyone to own some of the best articles this industry has to offer, not to mention experience some serious nostalgia. Over the coming months, all of Imagine’s back catalogue will be made available on Newsstand, but this is the ideal magazine to kick it all off with.”

Back issues of Retro Gamer are available from Apple Newsstand now and are priced at £2.99 per issue.To go to the Retro Gamer Newsstand page, click here
