Here’s a great image of the Nolan Bushnell digging for those infamous ET game cartridge c/o http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/15/wrup-bushnell-digs-for-e-t-cartridges/.
O.k so he’s not actually doing that, but it’s a fun photo caption all the same.

Whoa, I want to read that Retro Gamer special!! It’s getting harder to find them around me, so I’ll probably just grab it on my iPad, though that does look like a case where I’d like that in physical form…
Thanks Toad64. It’s been out for a few weeks now and I was going to pass on it as I thought it might be mostly reprinted stuff from RG mag but (unless memory is fading) there looks to be stacks of content I haven’t seen before…maybe from GamesTM?
Hope you do manage to find ourself a printed copy either via there shop or eBay, but as a digital magazine fan, the iPad version certainly would be my next choice.
Kind regards
StiGGy
