    I was wondering if there were any other print magazines like "retro Gamer" in the UK around the globe. So far I have found the "Retro Magazin" in Germany, see www.retro-magazin.eu

    But I couldn't found similar or other videogame magazines with a large retro part (like gamesTM) in countries like The Netherlands, Italy or France. Also wondering if there are Japanese retro only magazines, multi plattform.

    If you know any, please share it with us retro fans!

    Well, in Japan the best you have is Game Labo (Game Lab) but that is more of a multiformat hacking magazine than a straight gaming magazine. Very cool mag though.

    In Japan there is (was) also "Yuge" (short for "used games"), another A5 format magazine which covered retro games mainly.

    So it was discontinued in 2006 and reappeared as "Gameside". Don't know if it has the same focus on old games though.

    Ah, I've seen gameside in the shops but never really bothered to look at it. I always thought it was a cheap copy of Game Lab from the front cover.
