Some places we like to hang out. All warm and fuzzy like.

RetroVision
The RetroVision events are the brainchild of our own Mark Rayson. The project brings together retrogamers, original retro machines, curry and beer. Mark has conjured the RV dream into life four times, over the previous two years, now. The next RV... well that one might just be a bit special.

YakYak
Jeff Minter begat Llamasoft, Llamasoft begat gaming-history, gaming-history begat. Oh, hang on, bugger, I'm going backwards. What I'm trying to say is that this is the home of, umm, oh God I'm not sure really. Well, it's a forum, its special, and WotR was born there.

Shmups
Malcolm Laurie's excellent shoot-em-up game site. If it scrolls, and there's shooting, then it's either reviewed, or talked about, here. Very active, very welcoming, retro-gaming forum too.

Rongtones
Download subversive ringtones for your, Gunner la de daaa, mobile phone. We're not on a bung this time - we just love the stupid, stupid brilliant stuff on there. Marvel to such tunes as Lionel Wonder's "I Just Called To Say Hello" and the peerless Sitar Wars. Fantastic.

RobotStreetGang
As Gus himself says: 'Here you will find thoughtful essays, personal writings and offbeat reviews based upon our individual experiences as gamers.' They think like us, they write like a dream, it's all good.

1up
A beautifully constructed, off-beat, videogame culture site. Raina Lee and her team of contributers create wonderful 'real paper' magazines. Order yours as soon as you can - they go like hot cakes.

The Burrow
The home of Gordon Houghton, former editor of former games mag Zzap!64. If you ever cared about Zzap!64, and you miss it, this is the place to visit. Take a look at Gordon's novels too, that boy can write.

Digital Press
Joe Santulli knows videogames. Digital Press is the reference site for retro, and also home to one of the most active retro forums on the web. Joe's crowning glory is his book: 'The Collectors Guide' - the stunning, videogame collectors' bible.

NTSC-UK
Really useful import gamers site. Worth looking at for its 'Guide to Japanese' alone. Home to an excellent forum too.

Old Computer Mags

David Tolley says this of his labour-of-love: "Thousands of people bought these magazines month in, month out - it'd be criminal to forget them (I also hope it'll be a great nostalgia trip for anyone who has fond memories from this era). "
