I know I'm being dumb, but just put me out of my misery (my brain's given up for the day).

How is 'Retro Gamer Collection vol 4' (https://www.imagineshop.co.uk/retro-gamer-collection-vol-4.html) different from 'Retro vol 4' (https://www.imagineshop.co.uk/bookazines/retro-vol-4.html) ?

...and is the Games TM retro mag totally different again?

Many thanks.

    Sorry, I need it spelling out. I really am that slow on the uptake.

    Retro Gamer Collection vol 4 ...is a collection of the bits from the monthly mag, Retro Gamer, yes?

    So what's 'Retro vol 4' taken from ...if anything?

    games tm mag has a retro section in the back, maybe 10/12 pages?

    i think imagine were doing games tm first but when when retro gamers first publisher went under imagine took them on board too

    Must admit i like both bookazines. I have every RG issue but the bookazines are handy, much easier taking one book to the toilet ;)

    I dont buy Games TM at all but i'm glad they compile all the retro stuff, the design of these articles remind me of Crash, so i'm a big fan of the bookazines.

    Yeah...Retro Volume 4 is taken from loads of issues worth of GamesTM's retro section...

    RetroGamer Collection 4 is the 4th volume of collected Retrogamer stuff....

    I get the GamesTM ones as I don't get the actual magazine very often, and they make great coffee table books! Probably worth getting both if you can afford it though...

    *Edit...Gah...pictures in the first post weren't showing properly,and neither was mel or psj's posts, due to my internet being a bit crap today... so I stuck the above images in the post to clarify the differences, but now the 1st post pics and previous posts are working for me and I can see that you clearly understand that they have different covers and everything....just ignore this post and carry on about your business! :D
