Steel Hunter makes the pages of Retro Gamer magazine
Steel Hunter graced The Homebrewer's Kit section of Retro Gamer magazine issue #262 along with other great PICO-8 games, Stickyfoot and Tiny Hawk Pico Skater.
I know it's not a feature or even has a screenshot but just getting a shoutout in a good old fashion magazine is pretty neat, if you ask me. I love Retro Gamer and am thankful they not only highlight homebrew games like Steel Hunter, but just that they even continue to publish a physical magazine.
Despite all the easy access to digital gaming news and reviews, I still love having a magazine I can hold and flip through easily without worrying about tiny screens, passwords, or connectivity. Plus, I always know it will be right there waiting for me...it's not going to magically disappear in the unfortunate case the magazine goes away.
The recent shuttering of various websites and publications (like Game Informer) that results in decades of articles being magically wiped out has be double-thankful for mags like Retro Gamer (and has me really regretting getting rid of my Nintendo Power mags all those years ago). Making everything digital is convenient but very risky in the name of preservation and history.
If you're a fan of retro gaming or just gaming history, get a subscription to Retro Gamer...you'll be glad you did!

Hi Brian, I do like to feature PICO-8 in my column because there is so much creativity in the scene and lots of retro-related titles out there.
Thanks again for all the hard work you put into the section and column. I know we all appreciate it. And thanks again for including Steel Hunter!
