Steele Publishing, LLC announced yesterday that it has completed the acquisition of GameRoom Magazine
www.GameRoomMagazine.com, which will join RetroBlast
www.RetroBlast.com as part of the Steele Publishing family. Steele's plan to expand and update the magazine includes adding consumer retrogaming news and articles alongside GameRoom's industry-leading coverage targeting coin-op, video arcade, and pinball game collectors. Annual subscription cost is $34 per year. Gamers, pinball / arcade collectors and home gameroom enthusiasts can sign-up now by visiting
www.GameRoomMagazine.com.
Kevin Steele, owner of Steele Publishing and founder of the RetroBlast web site said, "The home arcade and game room movement has expanded dramatically over the past several years, as has the retrogaming market. The merger of GameRoom Magazine and RetroBlast creates a unique opportunity to provide unparalleled coverage of home arcade news and reviews." Planned changes to GameRoom Magazine include expanded coverage of consumer retro-games, emulation, and the rapidly growing home arcade market. Additionally, the magazine will be moving to a higher-quality print process, with high-gloss paper and additional color. A new RetroBlast column will also be featured in future issues of GameRoom Magazine.
"I am excited by Kevin's vision for the future of GameRoom Magazine and RetroBlast," said Tim Ferrante, former Publisher. "After having published GameRoom for the past 9 years, I am thrilled to be able to hand the GameRoom Magazine legacy over to such a talented and enthusiastic writer."
