We chat with retro gaming magazine historian (and all round nice chap!) Paul Monahan to re-live the days of classic console and computer magazines, cover disk demos and those amazing bumper Christmas issues. Join us for a delightful rewind to those pre-Internet days when these magazines were the heart of the gaming community.
