The Retrogaming Times is the furtherance of Retrogaming Times and Retrogaming Times Monthly, two of the longest running retrogaming newsletters of all time. This newsletter is entirely hobbyist driven and content created by retro fans. It even welcomes contributions from readers. Be sure to check out the site for their latest issue and for the back issues. The first issue was released in March 2016.
The latest issue, number 10, celebrates the anniversary of the "Times." As an added bonus, there is an article on this issue that I wrote. Be sure to check it out.  ---- Greetings!

OK, the PDF versions are now available. Here is today's update: Greetings, Breaking the "six release announcements per year" cycle for a very special announcement. This is an official announcement that the long anticipated Newsletter Legacy Archive is now live. This is a collected archive of every issue of Retrogaming Times, Bit Age Times, Retrogaming Times Monthly, and The Retrogaming Times in .PDF file format, ready for direct download. Over 200 total issues across more than 20 years! The link to this part of the site can be found on the main index: www.classicplastic.net/trt Retrogaming Times, Bit Age Times, and Retrogaming Times Monthly each feature single download links to obtain every issue in each respective newsletter. Issue of The Retrogaming Times will have .PDF files added to the Legacy Archive as they are published. PLEASE read the formatting information on the Legacy Archive page so you understand exactly what you are downloading, as most issues will have download options for two different layout configurations. Additionally the entire archive is backed up, offline, in three locations. There is no need to stash the whole thing away or redistribute it elsewhere. In fact I would rather the archive not be redistributed at all, so that any updates or fixes will always take place at the top. If you notice any problems, links that don't go anywhere or point to the wrong file, please contact me using the e-mail contact on the Legacy Archive page. Thank you very much for your patience while this undertaking was completed and thank you for reading The Retrogaming Times. For those interested in contributing to the next issue (January 2018), the deadline is December 22nd. See You Next Game, David Lundin, Jr. Chief Editor / Contributing Columnist, The Retrogaming Times |

I have an idea for a column, but you know how it goes. I need to write 10 of them and then submit it to see if it is viable. That way I wouldn't miss a deadline for at least 10 months.  |

Well, they are pretty flexible Ferg. You can submit one article and submit the next when you can. I had months in between my submissions but then decided to write the Pac-Man articles and submit them each month. They are not really strict when it comes to deadlines. If it doesn't make it into this issue, it goes into the next. |
