Editorial by Alberto Apostolo – To Infinity and beyond…
The year 2022 is coming to a close, so it is natural to do some reflections. As if the pandemic were not enough, then a war broke out that may drag on for a long time. Finally, the fear of being left out in the cold and penniless with creeping inflation eating away at our hard-earned savings.
Let’s cling to RetroMagazine World as a providential lifeboat in a stormy sea of events.
But it is not an escape from reality. All RetroComputing enthusiasts form a worldwide community connected by the Internet, and we believe that sharing ideas, games and projects should foster brotherhood among people. Then we feel more responsible and less frivolous.
Our editor Francesco Fiorentini compared the early issues of the magazine, when they reviewed old 80s and 90s games, with the latest publications where they talk about video games made in this period. You got it right! New stuff, not just memories of the past! In addition to video games, we also publish articles where we describe how to make some repairs or how to somehow connect an old computer to modern devices (laptops, LCD monitors, memory cards, etc.).
There is no shortage of tales of historical anecdotes and educational articles that could be an inspiration and improvement in everyday work.
In addition, RetroMagazine World continues to pursue the project of forming itself into an association to which one can subscribe and wants to always be there to give voice and space to anyone who has something interesting, like a self-respecting news magazine.
In short, the journey that began 5 years ago continues, and like those brave astronauts who first saw the Earth from the Moon, the Editors of RetroMagazine World wish you a Merry Christmas, a better 2023, and may God bless all of you on dear Earth!
