After receiving a glowing reception from retro gamers around the world, the collective behind Pixel Nation have teamed up to deliver the second issue of their retro gaming book. Boldly tackling the likes of Final Fantasy VII and the Touhou series, Pixel Nation #2 has a wealth of content to dive into which has just been released.
The second outing of the 100 A5 page independent book is created by a whole host of talented contributors including several RetroCollect writers (Miketendo and Tepid Snake). The cover featured article by Miketendo, Final Fantasy VII: Through the Lifestream, takes a closer look at how much influence the seventh game in the series has had on the JPG genre overall. This, however, is only a small snippet of the content within that's on offer.
