Do you wish there was a magazine that was all about nostalgia? If so, Popular Retro is exactly what you've been looking for; it's a quarterly periodical designed for people who miss classic TV shows, pine for the computer games of their youth, and marvel at the curios of days gone by – from flares and drainpipes to BMX bikes. Each issue covers everything from music and films to gaming, popular culture, fashion and much more, with in-depth articles serving up a memorable slice of the things that you still love… even if you’d forgotten about them until now! In this issue, we review forty years of Sir Clive Sinclair’s ground-breaking ZX81 computer, check out the “Real” Ghostbusters toys (from the 1980s, obviously) and look back at everyone’s favourite helicopter-based TV show, Airwolf. You’ll also find a monster retrospective feature deep-diving into the Philips CD-i console and its titles, a review of a classic VHS horror film and even a pull-out poster for your bedroom wall in the greatest traditions of the magazines from your childhood. At Popular Retro, old is ALWAYS fashionable.
