We are living in an extraordinary time for those who love retrocomputing. An era that, just a few years ago, would have seemed impossible to imagine. Thanks to modern technology, today we can rediscover and fully experience the machines of the 80s and 90s…

“Why retrocomputing is more relevant than ever!”
I’m inspired by a couple of discussions I’ve had recently. In an age where artificial intelligence reigns supreme and our data is stored “who knows where” in the cloud, there is a growing paradox: the fascination with computers of the past. We have talked about the nostalgia effect ad nauseam, but personally I don’t think that’s all there is to it. That would be reductive. So I asked myself a couple of questions and tried to answer them…

And finally we made it… Fifty issues!
Fifty issues is a lot… It seems like yesterday that, on a rainy weekend in October, I was alone in my little apartment in Amsterdam writing the first issue of RetroMagazine. It started as a bit of fun, but it was fueled by a great passion and the love I immediately received from so many people who quickly became friends. I said it seems like yesterday, but eight years have already passed!

It’s just after 11:30 p.m. Tomorrow I have to wake up early for a work commitment that has been scheduled for some time. I’m already in bed, but after a stressful day spent in front of the computer, sleep is slow in coming. In fact, it just doesn’t want to come at all. In the dim light of a lamp, the room seems to take on a dark amber color. With an almost automatic gesture, I reach for my tablet on the bedside table and open the app that accesses my home NAS, part of which is dedicated to the nostalgic world of retrocomputing…

As you know, we don’t like to brag too much about RetroMagazine World’s achievements, but this time we want to make an exception.
We’ve been keeping an eye on the number of downloads for a while, and finally, the moment has arrived.

THE SETTLERS 2: Gold Edition – Amiga
La nostalgia colpisce al cuore! La nostalgia è legata al desiderio, ma poiché in essa gioca il fattore tempo, impossibile da percorrere al contrario, il destino di ogni desiderio associato alla nostalgia è quello di essere irrealizzabile. Sembrava così per The Settlers 2 su Amiga, ma dopo 29 anni l’attesa è finita.
RetroMagazine World #24 – Eng – August 2025
The numbers of the retro-computing and retrogaming movement have now reached truly remarkable levels. The number of enthusiasts has been growing steadily for several years now, and with the ever-increasing audience there are many initiatives (commercial and otherwise) that are born and developed to intercept the demands and tastes of the public….
Happy Birthday Amiga!!!
Nel luglio del 1985, dopo tre anni di sviluppo, Amiga venne presentato al pubblico in un evento glamour con tanto di orchestra, esibizioni elaborate e la partecipazione di celebrità come Andy Warhol e Dabbie Harry.
In un’epoca in cui i PC IBM potevano visuale solo pochi colori e il MAC aveva ancora un display in bianco e nero, l’Amiga (poi ribattezzato Amiga 1000) era rivoluzionario.
