/* List of Amstrad CPC games reviewed in Retro Gamer */ Added Phantomas 2.0 to list
Printed and published in the UK by Imagine Publishing, '''''Retro Gamer''' '' is a magazine which as of 2017 is printed and published in the UK by [http://www.futureplc.com/ Future plc]. It is almost exclusively dedicated to re-visiting the halcyon days of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming (with the odd splash of 32-bit to provide controversy!)
Each issue (priced at £4.99 as of 2017) features a range of articles with a wide reaching brief to entice as many readers in as possible, and as a result the [[CPC]] and some of its games have been featured a number of times (although not as much as most of us would like - such is the nature of personal prejudice!)
