bojay1997 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Plus it's expensive to get here in the states. Not really. If you use the promo code "classic" it's about $80 a year to the United States or just under $7 an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The update is we are working hard with our writing and creative team and are on schedule for a December shipment of the January 2014 Premier Issue! Page count sounds great. I'm OK with Ads as it was through one in Classic Gamer Magazine back in 1998/1999 that I obtained a INTV [1] Controller Adapter from an outfit in Canada. It used the parallel port and worked with Carl Mueller's the Command Prompt [ok DOS] version of INTV Lives. For at least 4-5 years it was the only way to use INTV 1 controllers for INTV emu.

Parrothead Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Our latest Kickstarter update for anyone interested. We are excited to announce Play N Trade stores will be our Exclusive North American "Video Game Store" Retail Partner and will be distributing RETRO in all of their USA and Canadian stores starting this January. In addition, Play N Trade stores will begin listing some of their RETRO stock up for sale/auction on GameGavel.com. This will bring in lots of new listings for our GameGavel members and RETRO readers to potentially add to their RETRO gaming collections. Look for their auctions to start appearing soon! RETRO INTERNATIONAL To date, RETRO will be shipping to subscribers in over 35 countries! We want to see photos of you holding your premier copy of RETRO in front of anything that shows off where you live or in front of notable landmarks. We will choose many of the photos to grace pages of future RETRO magazines and on our website. More info on when and where to email your photos will be forthcoming soon after the magazines are mailed out. It really is great to see the RETRO community is alive and well in all corners of the world! Stay tuned for more exciting magazine (premier issue cover art and artist reveal) and readretro.com website launch news. And don't forget to continue helping us promote RETRO and sell more subscriptions so we can continue to grow above and beyond our Kickstarter funding. I think it's safe to say we ALL want RETRO to continue on into the coming years. HOW YOU CAN HELP: Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Facebook Tell your friends to subscribe or buy a gift subscription Mention RETRO in a forum post or Facebook/Twitter post TODAY Thanks again to all of you for making this December and holiday season a special one for gamers worldwide that will include the OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF RETRO!

Parrothead Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just a heads up that we are wrapping the premier issue and it's going to be pretty epic! We have a short supply of these left and if you want to get in on it and include it in a years subscription than you need to buy today/tomorrow. If you order the subscription starting next week for example it will begin with issue #2 which is still cool, but you will miss out on the premier. You will continue to be able to buy JUST the premier issue though, until they sell out - which won't be long Thanks to all of you here on AA that have already subscribed. If you want to help out AtariAge and Albert - you can order your subscription using this link and he will share in the revenue.

Dan Iacovelli Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 send me a copy of the digital version I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah, I'm kind of surprised to not already have a PDF now that it's been sent to the printers. And the lack of communication about the method of digital delivery (the question's been asked but not answered on KS) gives me the sinking feeling that I may have inadvertently paid for something with DRM, or that requires me to log into some retarded website in order to read it, or both. Originally, the plan was that "Kickstarter backers will receive their copy of the premiere issue in December". Deadlines get pushed back; it happens to all of us. But I'm hoping to at least get the digital version before the credit card dispute cutoff happens in 3 weeks (60 days after funding succeeded and I got charged). In most cases, the cutoff happens long before the estimated deliverable dates. In this case, the schedule was aggressive enough that I still have that option, though I'm sure it would reflect negatively upon my Kickstarter account if I did.

Gregory DG Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hm... Was hoping for a less-specific cover for the Premiere. Guess I got used to that demo one that was shown. Still, can't wait to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I just got my digital subscription link. When I log into Subscription Genius with it, it says I have 5 issues left and there's a button to "renew". There is no visible option to access the current issue (they don't even have the cover yet) and your last update makes it sound like we won't get it till January. At my pledge level I should be getting 6 issues. What's going on? I'm asking this here because the most recent post in the KS comments section is a question that hasn't been answered after 9 days, at least publicly, and I know firsthand that Atariage thread notifications work.

Hi Raindog, As it said in the email, there has been one issue "swiped" from your account, that is the premier issue. So you have five remaining. It also mentions the digital version will arrive the same week the printed versions are shipping out so sometime around the 6th of January the digital version will be available in your Subscription Genius subscriber page. The digital version is a flip-book style html 5 version, readable on any device, that will remain in your inventory indefinitely. Hope this answers your questions If not private message me and I can help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Shucks, no PayPal option for subscribing? I never, ever use credit or debit cards for magazine subscriptions I know what you're saying, I ended up canceling a credit card to finally get rid of a magazine that wouldn't quit charging me. I mostly use Amazon now since it makes the process much easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
