Retro Gamer website goes live
Finally, the world’s greatest classic gaming magazine gets the online
presence it deserves – and everyone can join in!
Retrogamer.net is a new online portal for fans of
the popular Retro Gamer magazine. The site not only
enables them to interact with the world’s number one
retro gaming magazine in an exciting new way, but
also ensures that they will be able to upload content
directly – 24 hours a day!
By simply registering and creating an online profile
users can write profiles on any classic videogame,
which can then be uploaded to the Retro Gamer
website; creating an invaluable database of classic
games for everyone to enjoy, leave comments
and rate.
Retrogamer.net was created specifically with Retro
Gamer’s loyal readership in mind, and it already has a sense of community that few other
rival sites are able to achieve. The new reader interaction features gives a little something
back to the readership, as the best entries will eventually be chosen to appear within the
pages of the print magazine dstributed all over the world.
Retrogamer.net also boasts a
definitive console/home computer buyers’ guide with links to the latest eBay auctions, the
magazine’s off-the-wall team blog, and the popular reader’s forum that now boasts over
2,500 registered users.
“I’m extremely pleased with the new look
www.retrogamer.net and it’s the perfect
opportunity for our readers to get that little bit closer to the magazine,” said Retro Gamer
Editor, Darran Jones. “We have a fiercely loyal following that few other magazines are able
to enjoy and it’s a real pleasure to give them the chance to write about their favourite
fondly remembered games.”
Imagine Managing Director, Damian Butt, said of the new site: “This great new portal was
created by our talented interactive team in record time, and now
the whole retro community can enjoy and participate in what I am
sure will become the best collection of classic games profiles on
the Net.”
