Default Retro Gamer magazine celebrates C64's 30th anniversary

Released last month in Europe and now available in North America, Retro Gamer magazine #106 has an 8-page spread on the 30th anniversary of the Commodore 64. The glossy article includes a brief history of the C64, a rundown of the best qualities of the machine, a look at the best C64 games, and comments from several C= personalities.

Retro Gamer magazine can be found at Barnes & Noble bookstores and at electronics superstores, like Fry's Electronics and Micro Center. E-reader versions of the magazine can be found at http://www.greatdigitalmags.com (though it seems that purchasing #106 singly is not currently available. You can get #106 via long-term subscription to the e-reader version.)

A bit early considering Nov 19th 1982 is the UK launch date of the C64 and the magazine is 100% UK based and targeted
