I am always curious as to how people find us. Were we mentioned on a website that you frequent? Did you find us via Google? Did you stumble across one of our magazines and come here via the "Thank You" page at the end?

I'm not sure exactly. I've known of the place for years and even had the NP torrent. Probably found out initially because I downloaded mags a lot and saw the nfo. I've been meaning to join for some time when I knew I'd have the time and dedication to scan my mags.

Google at first a few years ago, and then I downloaded a NP torrent that was supposedly from here(wasn't though, because the quality was terrible). I decided to look up the site again and it was still here, so I joined.

I had been desperately looking for a certain copy of VG&CE for years. When I came across a Spelunker strategy that I had clipped from that magazine, I had a clue! I searched in Google and found a link, and that was it. Retromags didn't have the issue of VG&CE in question (which was JAN/FEB '89, I think), but I stayed anyways. Great site.

Keep an eye on J2games.com in their magazine section, they have some rarer VG&CE issues (they have #1 right now). Also, you could message them about that Jan/Feb 89 issue, they are great about getting in contact with people about things like this.

The first I heard of this site was when Racketboy used to offer downloads of some mags a few years ago. And I am a happier man for finding it.
find it that is!

I was dieing to read the complete "Adventures of Gamepro" since page 3 of the last section was ripped out of my magazine. I came here downloaded it and found a bunch of awesome friends at the same time!

I popped into the Mean Machines Archive one day and noticed meppi's thread on Maximum and Sega Saturn Mag scans, which in turn brought me to Retromags. So, it's all meppi's fault that I haven't finished issue 3 of Retroaction yet 
Retroaction. noun. re`tro`acītion - gaming action influenced by the past

Hehe, glad to hear that.
Even though the forum there is extremely quiet as of late, they have an incredible crew there and a very nice group of posters.
Not to mention several people who worked on the magazines I'm focussing on.
That's why I keep putting the links of my latest issues up there as well, even though there aren't many replies or anything.
It's all about respect.

I was on another forum, uploading my mag scans. Philly invited me to take a look. Been here ever since! Thanks, Philly!

May be trying to find Sega Saturn magazine scans in google?
It's a great site, no doubt.

I found Retromags via Triverse, who joined up at ReplacementDocs.com where I have been scanning game manuals. He posted in the forum with the Retromags URL in his signature, and I being curious followed it. Now, like a stray cat who has been fed once, it has been impossible to get rid of me ever since.

I do not remember exactly but I'm pretty sure I heard about Retromags on Filenetworks. I am very happy to be a member here.

I know Phillyman through the arcade at home message board to which I've been a member for a very long time. He's posted about his site there a few times. I've been too lazy to join any other forums until today.
