I was looking at the Retro Gamer Cover this month (another sterling issue by the way), and I was wondering why magazines no longer have a festive cover. Mostly, back in the day (jumpers for goal posts), every year we could look forward to bumper festive issues. Magazine that was as thick as my 10 year old fist, perhaps a freebie and a cover that told you it is the big bad Christmas Special!

Aside from Retro Gamer this year the Multi format gaming magazine treat us to covers that are less that festive. Issues released in December have from Edge and Apple logo and Games ™ has a admittedly very attractive 2012 prediction cover.

Ah well, it is just a good job that some of the old magazines are now available via the interneb to view online or download as PDFs. I thought it would be sporting to share some of the links that I have found, so that you can read a retro magazine with a festive flavour.
