Thor: "Of all the video game magazines that I have seen this is the oldest. Released back in 1983 by Marvel Comics this magazine covers arcade and home console gaming. Though this small publication only lasted for 7 issues it is a great pleasure to release this on Retromags.com so that everyone may get a chance to see this classic magazine. I have recently obtained the chance to get a few more issues of this magazines and those will be posted as soon as I get them in the mail."
