Welcome back…
To the past!
The modern world is a lovely place, loads of gadgets, toys, expensive shiny things and all of that jazz (if you’re into that kinda thing). Here at Popular Retro, we’re old school. We like music that crackles, movies with a fuzzy border, games that take an hour to load and then crash. In fact, we love the old stuff so much, we created a magazine about it!
Popular Retro is a magazine for retro enthusiasts, written by retro enthusiasts. We’ve a combined age* that could be likened to a fine wine or a dusty old chair that lurks in the darkest corner of an old country house. You can be assured of fresh content but sliced from a cake baked many years ago (it’s still tasty).
Each issue we’ll be looking back at classic games, toys, movies, music and culture. Join us on our journey, we’ve plenty of memories to share with you!
* We’re old, but still have some life left in us!
