collections at Retromags aren't complete (yet) but their offerings are
fuller than I've seen anywhere else. I find it an incredibly useful
resource for researching old games and video-gaming hardware. Plus,
it's just fun to read some of the reviews of the beloved (and
forgotten) games of yesteryear. Sometimes the games we cherish today
weren't well received at all back when they were released.
 Maybe some of you will find this as interesting as I do. Or not. But
either way, now you know the place exists. ;-)
 

I did have a quick look around but the problem for me is that my interest is for the nostalgia part and to me that means the Specky 48k. The two magazines (Sinclair User and Crash) I did look at were both just placeholders with no actual content. Looks like it's still https://worldofspectrum.org for me.
