BrewOtaku is “The Homebrew Gaming Magazine” covering new games for old consoles, handhelds and computers. Almost daily we can spot new games for systems, which are obsolete for the majority of the gamers out there. 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.

Creating a magazine is associated with time, lots of time. We still made sure to keep it as affordable as possible. After one year after it’s digital release, the digital magazine will be even totally free — until then, we ask for your support.

Purchase from DragonBox Shop, Germany!
