/vr/ - Retro Games

A lot of people have nostalgia for video game magazines from the mid-00s and before. I was wondering what about them you most liked, was it the "attitude"? The information about releases (as a Bong I loved the articles about games they admitted the public will never play due to them not being officially released here)? Demos? The general aesthetics? All of the above?

But as well as that, do you think it would be possible, in some capacity, to bring any of what people remember most about them back, and if so what form would that take? An e-zine about retro? Do you think that the "attitude" of those magazines was only possible because of the kinds of games they were reviewing?
