The latest issue of Retro Gamer is on sale now, with a cover feature looking at the impact of Valve’s groundbreaking Half-Life series! Read about how these classic games evolved the first-person shooter with their immersive storytelling, innovative use of physics and support for mods that became huge games in their own right.

Elsewhere in the issue, we speak to wrestling and gaming experts about the wrestling genre, and revisit the unique natural disaster themed action adventures of the Disaster Report series. While Formula 1 drivers are racing on F1 2019, we learn about the creation of Codemasters’ original Grand Prix Simulator. We’ve also got features on the evolution of Ant Attack and videogame stamps, an ultimate guide to SCI: Special Criminal Investigation, and much more besides.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we cannot supply print issues of Retro Gamer to retailers, but single issues are still available to buy via MyFavouriteMagazines.co.uk. UK subscriptions will continue as normal, so if you want to make sure you don’t miss an issue, it’s worth taking the time to set one up – especially as we’re currently offering 5 issues for £5, a huge saving over the cover price.

For international customers, existing subscribers will have their print issues held to be mailed at a later time, with digital copies provided in the interim. Single issues can be ordered for international postage, but new non-UK subscriptions can’t be taken out until we’re able to resume normal service.

Until next time, stay safe, stay at home, and take your mind off the world’s troubles with some games from times gone by.
