Old School Gamer Latest Issues
Issue #37 (November 2023) - Old School Gamer - Educational Games and Lucas
Broderbund
November is here. November, the month that carries so many great happenings! Thanksgiving and being
with your family, my Birthday (I was born on Thanksgiving and it falls on this date every couple of years), the semiannual Risk game, the semiannual Crappage game (Crappage is just like Cribbage, except you have 7 cards in your hand and one card is dealt face down for the crib. You should try it if you play cards). All in all, November is my favorite month.
Another thing that carries so many great things is this issue of OSG! Our main feature centers on Broderbund, a great game company. We also have an interview with Richard Lowenstein, Modern day Retro games, and a lot more. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Now loosen that belt and dig in to a great issue!

Issue #36 (September 2023) - Old School Gamer - Educational Games and Lucas
Educational Games and Lucas
September is here and with it comes a great variety of wonderful things: Pro Football starts up, NASCAR and NHRA are firing up the playoffs, all the little monste… uh, kids, are back in school, all of the TV networks have changed their programs, resulting in the yearly Remote Lottery (which no one ever wins…), and the latest version of Old School Gamer is ready to be read by all the fans of Retro Goodness… and what goodness we have!
We’re starting out with two great themes: Educational games and the games of LucasFilm/LucasArts… and that’s just the beginning! We’ve also got great interviews with Steve Cottam and Keith Christiensen, an homage to NYC’s twin towers, a large assortment of stories concerning game collection, and a ton of other great articles to wet your Retro whistle. So, leave work early, survive the traffic, grab a cold one, and check out this issue of OSG!

Issue #35 (July 2023) - Old School Gamer - Nintendo and Sega
Nintendo and Sega
Throughout all of recorded history, there have been many periods when someone said or did a stupid thing
and the killing began; Greeks versus Trojans, Romans versus Germanic hordes, Confederates versus the Union, Germans versus the world (twice), Raider fans versus anyone stupid enough to wear a Chiefs jersey to the Oakland Coliseum (the report is still out on the whole Vegas thing…) and, of course, Nintendo versus Sega. This confrontation is the Armageddon of the video game wars. Every gamer has a stance on which console won and which lost or if the fighting is even over. In light of that, we present to you our Nntendo/Sega issue! We’ve tried to be very impartial and just report the facts and nothing but the facts, but sooner or later, some writer or Editor will say something stupid and we all know what happens then… fortunately, most of us live very far apart…

Issue #34 (May 2023) - Old School Gamer - Activision & Namco
Activision & Namco
Welcome to Issue #34 of Old School Gamer Magazine. This is a record-breaking issue, because we have managed to squeeze in more authors in this issue than we have in any past issue. Issue #34 has 16 (count ‘em!), 16 authors who will bring you more interesting stories about all facets of the games we all know and love. Personally, I think this calls for a celebration. It’s not so big a celebration that I would have to open the dreaded “Ancient Bottle of Champagne” that has been sitting on a shelf behind the bar for the last 16 years or so. That’s a good thing, for one can only guess what horrible things have happened to those poor grapes during those long years in that pit of stinky yeast… horrible, horrible things… but I digress. I suggest that you grab any suitable beverage not older than the expired date on the label and settle down in the Comfy Chair with this award-winning issue of Old School Gamer! – Bill Donohue, Editor, Old School Gamer

Issue #33 (March 2023) - Old School Gamer - Stern - Ultima/Lord British
Stern – Ultima/Lord British
Stern. That word immediately shoots me back to my youth and the nuns at Saints Peter and Paul Elementary. My fingers still carry the scars of a viciously-wielded ruler, as Sister Ma… oops! Actually, this edition of OSG is more concerned with Stern, the great arcade and pinball company that changed the way we played games. We’ve got a great interview with Gary Stern, as well as a review of Berzerk, a game that ate many of our quarters, and more history than you can shake a stick at (No! Please! Not again!). We’ve also got a huge section devoted to the Ultima series and the man who created it, Richard Garriott, also known as Lord British! All this doesn’t mean we left out all the great columns from our outstanding cabal of writers: Mertes, Vinson, Hickey, Jr., Feingold, Ibarra, Williams, and Pratt, all of whom are dedicated to supplying you with all the gaming goodness you can handle. So what are you waiting for? A whack on the knuckles, perhaps? – Bill Donohue, Editor, Old School Gamer.

Williams – Midway – Raw Thrills
Here we go again! You’re looking a Issue 32 of Old School Gamer magazine and let me tell you, this issue is chock full of great stories! First up is our coverage of the Williams family of great games. We’ve got history by Roger C. Sharpe and Todd Friedman, a couple of lists of great games you need to play by our Publisher – Ryan Burger, and Patrick Hickey, Jr., cheat codes for NBA Jam by Brad Feingold, and much more. As far as other topics go, we’ve got them covered as well, like an interview with Ken and Roberta Williams on their new release of Colossal Cave Reimagined by Bill Lange, and Mike Mertes literally dies during his article on Wing Commander (haven’t we all?). But wait… there’s more… a lot more! The only way you’ll find out what I didn’t list here is to kick back and dig in to Issue 32 of Old School Gamer magazine! I suggest you start… now!

Issue #31 (November 2022) - Old School Gamer - Atari
Atari Special Issue
Welcome to Issue 31 of Old School Gamer! It is with great pride that we present our first 72-page magazine for your perusal… or you could just sit back, read it, and enjoy all the retro goodness. We’ve added some great new writers to the staff – folks who’ve mad a name for themselves in the Retro Community. We’ve got Chris Tang, Brian Hall, and making a return appearance, Leonard Herman! We’ll be adding even more famous – or should I say infamous – talent to the mag in the near future! Of course, all of ur regulars are here, doing what they do best – bribing me with beer to get their articles published… I mean keeping you informed of all the latest in the Retro World, of course. Personally, I’m hoping the Jaded Gamer will make an appearance or two in the coming issues. Editing is a lot of fun, but sometimes you’ve got to let the loony out of the asylum. You should probably get settled in the comfy chair, open a cold one, and dig into the mag. I’m sure you’ll have a great time! = Bill Donohue, Editor, Old School Gamer. Muhahahahaha!

Issue #30 (September 2022) - Old School Gamer - Creepy Video Games
Creepy Video Games
As far back as I can remember, I have always loved the Horror genre; movies, books, games… it doesn’t matter. I think it all started back when I was 6 or 7 and my parents let me watch Son of Frankenstein on the old B&W TV. I found myself rooting for the monster, probably because he was never told what to eat or when to go to bed. I found out that the local library had lots of scary books, so I got a library card. I found an old, dusty tome that had a bunch of strange tales by a guy called H.P. Lovecraft… and I was hooked. This is our first Horror issue. I trust you will find it… interesting… Muhahahahaha!

Issue #29 (July 2022) - Old School Gamer - Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat
You know when a magazine devotes an entire issue (or at least a big chunk of it) to one game, that game has to be very important… life-changing… frenzy-inducing … an “i’ll die if I don’t get it!” type of game. In this case, the game is Mortal Kombat and millions of gamers have proven it to be a very important game. Personally, I don’t like it, but then, I don’t like fighting games unless they involve jet fighters, tanks, all types of firearms, battle axes… well you get the idea. However, I did play Mortal Kombat… once… It was Christmas Day. I was sipping an Irish Coffe (with Bushmills, of course), and my nephew, Nick, had just gotten the game. He’d studied up on it and learned a bunch of the Combos and Fatalities. He assured me that I would die a bloody, horrific death. Since I was bored, I said I’d play. I set my Irish Coffee down. He set up the game and handed me a controller. The game started and I started pushing as many buttons as I could, as fast as I could. Thirty seconds later, the game was over. I’d won. Nick threw his controller at me (he missed) and loudly proclaimed that I had cheated. It was a bad ending. That’s why I don’t like fighting games. They take up too much valuable drinking time.

Issue #28 (May 2022) - Old School Gamer - Early Computers
Early Computers
Welcome to the May issue of Old School Gamer! This issue is dedicated to those old computers that we all gamed on in the 80s: the Commodore 64, the Tandy-1000, the Apple II, etc. We also cover some of the best games from that era as well, so what are you waiting for? The mag’s not gonna read itself…
You might notice some changes in the mag this time around. One – we found out our poster was 20% of our printing cost, so we had to cut it, and Two – our font is now smaller. In order to cram in even more Old School goodness, we’ve lowered our font size just a bit. So, no, you’re not going blind, but you might want to get some reading glasses! Look for bigger changes coming early this summer!

Issue #27 (March 2022) - Old School Gamer - Defunct Gaming Mags
Defunct Gaming Mags
Who doesn’t love magazines? When I was a kid (back when life was in Black and White), I collected a bunch of comic books. I read ’em, swapped them with friends and then, after we moved (military families moved a lot back in those days), I wondered where they all went. I found out much later that some of those old comic books I had (and my Mom always threw out with each move) were worth a ton of bucks! No worries here, though… in this issue OSG covers the best of those now defunct Video Game magazines! The Scribes each got to pick out their favorite mag and write about the fun those tomes brought them. We hope you have fun reading about them.
We’ve also got other good stories, like an interview with Robert Sharpe (the man who saved Pinball), and a chat with Adam Koralik, who knows a guy… who knows a guy… who knows a guy who has a Sega Pluto! So what are you waiting for? Dig in to this amazing issue of Old School Gamer magazine!

Issue #26 (January 2022) - Old School Gamer - Rhythm Games
Rhythm Games
The human race has been obsessed with Music ever since Thag hit a big log with a small rock and Gron started dancing. Music has changed through time to reflect the state of humankind, from Gregorian Chant, Renaissance music, and the Grand Masters to Big Band, Lounge, Rock and Roll, Punk, Rap, Thrash, and Rave music. So it was only natural that music would make the leap to video games… and that’s where this issue of Old School Gamer comes in. We cover it all – from the first early beeps and boops to those magnificent Guitar and DJ emulators.
I know I’ve said this before, but wait… there’s more! We reveal Taito’s new line of video game-based pins, the decline of the Street Fighter series, a look at the early VC-4000 game system, a rundown of the Con scene and, for those who still know what a book is, we have a Book Report from Publisher Ryan Burger! So what are you waiting for? Put on those dancing shoes! LET’S ROCK!!!

Issue #25 (November 2021) - Old School Gamer - The X-Box 20th Anniversary
The X-Box 20th Anniversary
Okay, I confess! I started gaming when my Dad brought home a Commodore Vic-20 and a couple of Scott Adams text adventure games. I spent many an hour typing my way through The Count and Voodoo Castle. Then the Commodore 64 came out and I immersed myself into the magic of games like F-14 Tomcat, The Train, and many, many others. Then the Amiga 500 appeared, along with Wings, Cannon Fodder and more. I despised consoles. They were for little kids. Then I got a job at Future Publishing and suddenly I saw the light. Today, I own more consoles than computers.

Issue #24 (September 2021) - Old School Gamer - The Console War
The Adventure Game Issue
Believe it or not, I was not your normal kid. I was obsessed with two things in my childhood – reading, and war. I read Homer’s Iliad at 6, Richard Tregaskis’s Guadalcanal Diary at 8, and countless other tomes on the art of getting your way via vulgar displays of power. Now you faithful readers can read about a great struggle – the Video Game Console Wars – which occurred between 1990 and 2000. The drawnout conflict had many casualties and a few winners, just like all wars. But wait! There’s more… We’re proud to announce our new Pinball section! Every issue, we’ll give you the lowdown on everything PIN. We start this new section with rockin’ coverage of pinball’s hardest-rockin’ machines: Led Zepplin, iron Maiden, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and of course, ELVIS. Check it out!

The Adventure Game Issue
Everyone has had at least one adventure. Even that liitle old lady down the block has had some racy adventures at one time… trust me on this one… I’ve had some amazing adventures in my time on Earth, little old ladies not with- standing. Like the time a friend and I thought we had scored the only… Uh, I can’t ell you about that one… There was this time on tour that I ate 3 egg salad sandwiches and on stage, I… Hmm, you don’t need to hear that one… Then there was the time we made a depth charge and put it my Dad’s pool to see what would happen. We set that thing off and… Anyway, my point is that everyone loves a good adventure and this issue of Old School Gamer is packed with plenty of ’em! So put on your Elven cape, grab your walking stick and climb on in!

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to race. What’s not to like? That feeling you get when you strap yourself in… the scream of engines being revved to the Red Line… the G-forces pushing you back into your seat as your stomp on the gas pedal… the acrid smell of rubber as white clouds of smoke billow from your tires… the scenery that blurs as you accelerate… the thrill of victory as you blow past your opponent… the red light flashing from the Highway Patrol car behind you… the cold steel of the handcuffs… but I digress… If you love going fast, then this is the issue of Old School Gamer magazine for you! So pull on those Italian leather racing gloves and grab this issue!!! Gareggiamo!

The First Person Shooters Issue
If there’s one thing I love almost as much as I love guitars, it’s guns… all kinds of guns. I’ve fired everything from a pellet rifle to an M55 self-propelled gun. There’s just something special about pulling a lanyard and then seeing the top of a hill 12 miles away disappear with a huge BOOM! Maybe that’s why I’m such a huge fan of First Person Shooters. I just really like that feeling of reaching out and fatally touching someone… it could be an alien, a Nazi Storm Trooper, a Wild West outlaw… heck, it could even be a laughing dog… We’ve got all kinds of great FPS articles in this issue. All you’ve got to do is set your sights on the pages and squeeze the trigger.

The Late 1990s Issue
The one thing I remember most about the Late 90s was when they ended at Y2K. 1999 for me wasn’t a Prince song; it was more like a Mad Max movie, as I stockpiled everything I could think of to survive the collapse of society: guns, ammo, body armor, food, water… you name it, I had it! Just like this issue of Old School Gamer magazine! We’ve got the games that made the Late 90s a great time to be alive: Resident Evil, Pokemon, Quake, Croc, Clock Tower, and NHL FaceOff ’98! If that isn’t enough, we’ve also got 25 years of E3 memories (without the hangovers!), another iiRcade Report, a trip into Walter Day’s mind, and my tutorial on demented architecture… no, really! This issue is really packing a lot of heat… just like I am… you know, I look pretty cool in my MOPP suit…

What we have here are a collection of stories about all the great (and some not so great) handheld games: Tiger Games, the GameBoy, the GameBoy Color, the Game Gear, and one or two more that you might not even know about! Handhelds… we got your handhelds right here! Plus a whole bunch of other great stuff: Asteroids, BarFighter, SSI games, the Virtual Boy, Squids and an interview with an Arcade Employee!

Issue #18 (September 2020) - Old School Gamer - The 1990s
The 1990s Theme Issue
The early 90s was a time for change. I went from being a mainframe programmer at a major telephone company to a Managing Editor at Game Players. Grunge stabbed Hair Metal in the back with a rusty fork and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except for Axel Rose. Ren and Stimpy took over Saturday mornings and no one would ever look at cartoons the same way again. Here at OSG magazine, we’ve got Adam Goldberg and Jeff Peters! We’ve got NHLPA 93 and Burning Force, along with Final Fight and Virtual Bart. We’ve also got Revolution X featuring Aerosmith, who still kept a-rolling despite the rusty fork in their backs. So grab your beverage of choice, settle down in your comfy chair, and dig in to Issue 18 of Old School Gamer Magazine – The Early 90s!

Late 1980’s Theme Issue
Welcome to the Thunderdome! Two men enter; one man leaves. IT’S DYIN’ TIME!!!… Oops! Sorry… I was reliving the late 80’s… Not an easy task if you were as crazy as I was back then. What we have here is the Late 80’s issue of OSG, loaded with incredible stories about Double Dragons, Robot Monsters, the End Of Days, Defenders, Game-Changing Consoles, Insane Asylums, and a hedgehog named Lizzy. So grab a cold one and dive into gaming history!
I’d like to apologize to Richard Moss for accidently omitting him from The Scribes section. His piece “Mac Attack” was a great expose of shooters that appeared on Apple computers.

We’ve got shooters you’ve probably never heard of. We’ve got shooters that existed only on Macs. We’ve also got the classics: Duck Hunt (You know dog is delicious, right?), Sinistar (Face it, the only thing getting eaten is you), and Airborne Ranger (Foon!).

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Brian Szarek, Editor for Old School Gamer Magazine. I’ve been with OSGM since the second issue. After reading the first issue I knew that I had to be a part of this in some way. Old School Gamer Magazine is really quite unique and fills a void in the retro gaming community. While there are some great online resources, podcasts and YouTube content providers out there, a bi-monthly print and digital magazine featuring all-new content from some of the industry’s top writers is always a great read. All of our writers are excellent and bring interesting and unique perspectives.
While we’ve had top industry writers, such as Brett Weiss, Michael Thomasson, and Walter Day, writing for OSGM since the beginning, this issue we’ve added one of the top names since nearly the very beginning of home console gaming: Howard Scott Warshaw.
With this exciting new addition, we’d also like to create a new section called “Ask the Editor”. Email me directly with any recommendations for stories, themes, content, or anything else on your mind as it relates to the publication. In the forthcoming issues we’ll take a random sample of the submissions and respond, in kind. We’re here to make this the best magazine possible, and your input is critical. We
look forward to hearing from you soon! Brian Szarek – Editor brian@oldschoolgamermagazine.com

Other Great Retro Gaming Magazines From The Past
Old School Gamer has acquired the rights to these magazines to put online for you to enjoy. They also served the retro gamer market similar to us in the past.
Classic Console Magazine
Classic Console Magazine - Five Issues Published in 2014-2015

Welcome and thank you so much for deciding to read our little publication. In this busy world, you have many choices for your entertainment, and we are honored that you have decided to read our magazine. This first issue is just a single step in what I hope will prove to be a great endeavour. My goal for creating this magazine is to bring together all of us who love retro gaming in one place.
Some of my fondest childhood memories were of being sprawled out on the floor of my parents’ house with NES controller in one hand and guidebook or video game magazine in the other. As I got older, I subscribed to publications such as Game Informer, and enjoyed reading the reviews and tips.
At the time that I thought about starting a magazine such as this several years ago, there was nothing covering retro gaming on the market. This is the cultivation of several years of dreaming and imagining, and I am so happy that it is now becoming a reality.
Now, there are a few other classic gaming magazines that exist, but we have something to offer that they do not. We are 100% FREE and publish monthly! We are here to serve the retro gaming community, and I cannot wait to interact with all of you and read your mail and letters. Remember, this magazine is for all of us, and that includes you!

Classic Gamer Magazine
Classic Gamer Magazine - Eight Issues Published in 1999-2002
In the early 80’s I always looked forward to the next issue of “Electronic Games Magazine.” Month after month the anticipation of waiting for the latest edition would nearly kill me. There was no greater feeling at the time than see- ing the new issue on the magazine rack at my local Long’s Drugstore. Arnie Katz, Bill Kunkel and Joyce Worley delivered, without fail, an informative, entertaining and fun-to- read magazine. After the great video game shake-out in the mid- 80’s, Electronic Games released their final issue. Sadly, it was the end of an era.
As a video game player, the mid- 80’s was a dark time. Atari was a shell of its former self, Activision started producing computer games in order to survive, and the words “video game cartridges” became ob- scene words in the hard hit retail sector. After Nintendo and Sega reinvented the home video gaming industry and the Internet started to explode, people began remember- ing their gaming roots. We dragged our Atari 2600’s out of attics and basements, dusted off our Colecovi- sions, and once again cursed at our
Intellivision controllers (and wished we had kept our Vectrex system!). The magic seemed to be back for us. But it never really left, did it? We just temporarily stored it away.
Once again we manned tanks in Combat and became Star Raiders. We swore along with Q*Bert, swung from vines with Pitfall Harry, and wondered if we could still earn those Activision patches. “Doom and Quake who?” We even paid Pac-Man and E.T. a return visit on the VCS (although, understanda- bly, probably not for very long.)
On the Internet we found we weren’t alone. “Finally! Someone who understands my quest for game cartridges and lost systems!” Now we trade, sell and auction our classic favorites freely on the World Wide Web (and keep each other in line to make sure that we aren’t rip- ping each other off!) We scour the flea markets digging through dusty boxes and when passing a garage sale we can’t help but think, “I won- der if there are any rare cartridges there?” Of course, when we’re done searching and weary from the day’s hunt we log back on to the Internet and brag of our rare finds
or missed opportunities to envious and sympathetic ears.
Since the fun is back in playing these classics we thought it only wise to publish a magazine dedi- cated to the games of yore. Whether you are a hardcore collec- tor, casual hobbyist or just like to play a game of Asteroids every now and again we hope you find this magazine fun, informative, and en- tertaining. Inside you’ll find news, reviews, humor, opinion columns, where to find the best classic gam- ing websites, and of course, “The Legend of BIRA BIRA.”
While our magazine can only hope to achieve the greatness of Katz, Kunkel and Worley’s “Electronic Games,” we hope you enjoy this first issue of Classic Gamer Magazine.

Why this change? Above all else, I want the magazine to be valuable to people. After some feedback ( I use the word loosely) from the classic community, it is apparent that, simply a price guide is not valuable.
Therefore the format is changed. Another change is to make the magazine a monthly publication, instead of a quarterly publication. Because of this change, I will need all of your help. The magazine will need articles, reviews, historical documents. Anyone that wishes to volunteer his or her time is welcome to contact me. There are no experience requirements at all.
Also, if you run a website that contains interviews, articles, pictures. I would like to be able to use them. Any article or picture that I use will be linked to the original. For any printed version of the Magazine, the author will receive free advertising.
So, what other changes are in the future? I am not sure, but welcome your comments. If you feel we have missed a title or think the prices are incorrect in the guide, please send us an email. Or if you just have a question or suggestion. We will print the letters and answers. Our address is vgtnj@aol.com. Please put PRICE GUIDE on the subject line. The one change we are considering is to make the magazine a completely FREE publication, funded by advertising.
If you enjoy our magazine and want it to continue, I asked you join our Google group. Even if you don’t participate in discussions, you will be showing your support by just joining. This will give us an idea as to how many people are reading .
