Pure, unapologetic score-chasing. Shortwhile and entertaining at the very same time.

BrewOtaku is a retro homebrew gaming magazine where new games keep old systems alive. We cover fresh games for old consoles, handhelds, and computers. Dealing with limitations of very old systems is a passion and an art in itself, and still, coders out there can get the most out of the least and release fresh games regular!
With some delay, another new issue is out. Print: €7.99 / Digital €3.50 – so literally this will cost you the equivalent of two or one coffee(s). Support PDRoms and get your copy today. It’s the most massive issue ever, 92 pages strong.
If you happen to be a developer and your software is featured in this magazine, you can even request a free copy via the BrewOtaku homepage. Another nice thing: if you are short of money and cannot afford it, just ask – no questions asked – and you will get the digital issue for free as well.
