Classic Gamer Magazine Goes Free PDF Route

Posted by simoniker on from the free-with-the-goodness dept.

Chris Cavanaugh writes "Classic Gamer Magazine, a retro-themed game mag, relaunches today with all-new content and a revamped writing staff. Each issue will now be published bi-monthly as a Portable Document File (PDF) for free download at www.classicgamer.com. The magazine's talented and knowledgeable staff includes writers with credits at Salon.com, Game Room Magazine, GameSpot, TechTV, All Game Guide, and Comic Buyer's Guide." Formerly a longrunning paper magazine, the issue looks excellent for a free PDF download.

  2. ASCII by FriedTurkey · · Score: 4, Funny

    PDF?? The should stick to the old-school values and release the magazine in ASCII. Complete with ASCII art for illustrations.

  3. Really cool article by Mmm+coffee · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't know if anyone will read this, but that mag had an article about a _really_ cool SMB3 rom hack that has gotten me addicted. Some crazy bastard edited the game down to the assembly code and created a whole new SMB game. Hard as all hell, but incredibally fun. Link for those who don't want to download and hunt the PDF for it.
