Retro Survival contains the missing features from the ill-fated Issue 19 of Retro Gamer, which never made it to print. This includes all of your regular articles, along with entirely new content, plus a specially written foreword by everyone's favourite Teletext talking head, Mr Biffo.
There's also plenty of extra content including video files, news (from 2005), a competition (closed some time ago), letters section with interaction from the ex-Retro Survival forum, and more of the spoof ads that livened up later issues of Retro Gamer.
Here is a more detailed list of contents:
