So here we are at the end of 2019. As I write this it’s not only the end of a year, it’s also the end of a decade, and what a decade it’s been. The world of retro has changed considerably since Retro Gamer was first launched in 2004, and it’s amazing to think the magazine is shortly going to be celebrating its 15th anniversary.

Equally exciting is the fact that we’re finally getting the end of the original Star Wars saga that began in 1977 (you may have watched it multiple times already). It’s given us the perfect excuse to look at Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, arguably one of the greatest videogames to feature the Star

Wars name. We’ve spoken to several key staff, including co-founder Greg Zeschuk, to discover how the talented team created the epic RPG set 4,000 years before the events of A New Hope, and the difficulties they faced while making it, including an intense crunch period.

We’re not just about celebrating an amazing Star Wars game, as we’ve got plenty more to excite, including an interesting glimpse inside Arc System Works, an insightful interview with Big Boy Barry, and an essential collector’s guide to the Castlevania franchise.
