This is no obligation to buy, I just need to know how many people would be interested in purchasing the print edition of Retrocade Magazine's premiere issue Winter 2012. Our target price is $8.99 USD plus shipping in the US and abroad for 108 pages of classic gaming goodness. I know there are people that have expressed interest all over the world for a print edition.

We have two previews available:
Preview #1 is available from www.retrocademagazine.com/ and it contains a full article along with sample content that you would expect to find in the magazine.

The digital edition is on sale now.
Here's why you should be reading Retrocade Magazine:
Retrocade Magazine (aka R'cade Mag) is a niche magazine that focuses on what people consider to be truly classic: from the origins of video gaming up until the mid 1980s. We will cover everything from Tennis For Two up to the NES and will be the only classic gaming magazine out today to do so. Why is that special? Because you will not be reading a magazine that is watered down and spread thin through many generations of arcade and console games.
R'cade Mag is the only classic gaming magazine out today that has comprehensive classic gaming live tournament coverage with final scores, photographs and interviews.
R'cade Mag is the only classic gaming magazine today to offer online electronic scoreboards and tournaments for forum members and subsequently publishes all of those scores. All three tournaments on the R'cade Mag forums thus far have been a huge success!
R'cade Mag is the only classic gaming magazine out today that offers free advertising to arcades. As a matter of fact, all the advertising found in the digital edition of R'cade Mag's premiere issue was given away for free!
R'cade Mag is the first magazine to review two hot new home brews: Moon Cresta (7800) & Vector Pilot (Vectrex).
