Additional Description

Abstract

Fusion (also called Fusion Magazine) is a British retrogaming magazine, focusing in particular on British computer games from the 80s and 90s. The magazine also includes several special issues, typically themed around specific games or platforms.

Fusion is the flagship retro magazine of its namesake retrogaming magazine publisher, Fusion Retro Books.

Note on Publishing Date

Most issues of Fusion are not cataloged with dates. Most Fusion issues are undated, and they do not include the copyright year. Although the magazine first started publishing in 2018, there is no direct confirmation when specific issues were published (apart from the Annual specials, which would always be published before the start of the year).

Starting in fall 2023, Fusion Retro Books began sharing the official publication months for Fusion in a new biannual mini-magazine, Fusion Retro Books Insider. When possible, publication dates were borrowed from this magazine. Otherwise, from summer 2023 onward, new issues of Fusion are dated as they are received.

The Video Game History Foundation has contacted publisher Fusion Retro Books to see if publication dates for back issues are available.
