I've always been quite of fond of diskmags, you know, and I've followed them from the dark but happy BBS ages all the way to modern offerings like the demoscene oriented Hugi and PAiN. But a retro gaming diskmag? That would surely be too much to ask for, even during those weird corporate aeons we live in when Mario's co-star is Sonic.
Enter RGCD (linkety link), the best online diskmag a retro gaming gnome could ever ask for and a brilliant Independent Gaming find. Its first issue, a 160MB monster in .iso image format no less, can be downloaded here and features tons of exquisite content covering everything from retro remakes, to game reviews, to emulators, to interviews, to excellent freeware games. A stripped down 10MB version (sans games) can be downloaded here. Oh, and the Daemon Tools will definitely come in handy too.

okay bear with me, i know I have to mount the iso.... but before i run daemon... please tell me im doing the right thing... .remember the mission impossible disK?
ReplyDeleteNo worries Mr. Elderly. The MI5 checked the whole thing and this being retro stuff, no self destruct mechanism was needed. Mount to your hearts content... (hmm, that sounded kinda weird)
