Retro horror games, now in magazine form
The Bride of Retro Horror
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/books/hg101-digest-vol-8-the-bride-of-retro-horror/
Hey kids! Do you like retro horror video games? The Bride of Retro Horror features genre-defining classics like Clock Tower and Alone in the Dark, two titles from the early 1990s that helped define the “survival horror” genre, even though they both predate Resident Evil. Also featured are some movie tie-ins like Friday the 13th and The Nightmare on Elm Street, as well as other early horror games from all over the globe.
I ordered a copy of this book (from Amazon), and I'm really enjoying it. Essentially, it's a full-color retro gaming magazine with lots of high-quality screenshots and solid research. I don't actually want to play any of these games, but I'm having a good time reading about them.
