atari181 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Should I be worried that I haven't received the 4th issue yet? I've been reading every issue cover to cover, which I haven't done in a long time with any publication. I haven't either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) To any of our subscribers over here on AA I wanted to just say that the summer lull is over and RETRO Issue #4 is wrapped and at the printers and should be then off to the mailhouse by the end of next week. Summer and E3 slowed the entire team down but we hope to be back on track for delivering the final two magazines of our inaugural year. Here is a sneak peek of what some of you can expect in your mailboxes soon: http://issuu.com/markkaminski/docs/retro_issue_4_issuu/1 If you aren't yet receiving RETRO then you can subscribe here: http://www.readretro.com/subscribe Choose Option 1 if you want a print subscription and use promo code longliveretro for a nice discount.

I understand this is a much more upstart endeavor, and delays are likely to happen while the project continues to find its sure footing. May you find less roadblocks with issue #5!

Parrothead Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Just an FYI our next Kickstarter campaign is live. Help us make RETRO bigger and better. Adding some exciting new writers including possibly Garry Kitchen and Q*Bert's (Gottlieb and Williams) Warren Davis. Going to be a great new year with more pages and cool content! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/socalmike/retro-video-game-magazine-year-two Thanks again everyone!

Cynicaster Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I was reading through some of the issues on a a long flight recently. It's a top quality magazine, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Meh - I was part of the original kickstarter, but I haven't been really all that impressed with the content. I'm glad the magazine exists, but I've been less interested with each issue. Here is a snippet of some feedback that I (tried) to give about the RPG issue: Well it only took 3 issues for me to come to the realization that I really don't have much in common with the writers of Retro. The RPG issue was basically a love letter to SNES RPGs which I don't really have anything against, but they just came later in my gaming life when I wasn't really going to give them and their childish look and feel a substantial amount of time.I think of all the RPGs showcased in the favorites section there was only one that predated the NES. Even the guy who mentioned Wizardry mentioned the NES version - WTF!Really all three issues have been very post 1985. It seems that all the pre "crash" stuff got written in the first two because you'd hardly think that the C64 or Intellivision existed while flipping through that thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Really all three issues have been very post 1985. That's my take as well, I'm afraid. Still glad I backed the first Kickstarter, but most of the covered material (like most "retro" pop culture references) is after my time. I have literally never touched a SNES or N64, know their libraries entirely through playing emulators in the last decade, and barely played my little brother's NES while I still lived at home. I did like the dawn of VGA PC gaming (id/Apogee/3D Realms/Epic/etc... Commander Keen remains a favorite) but only because I was able to play those games in the office. Yes, there are a lot of great SNES games. I was just a lot more interested in working, drinking, getting laid, and going to shows in 1991 than playing Nintendo. They make my favorite consoles now, but the golden age of videogames, for me, ended -- not began -- with the NES. I won't be renewing, but anyone 5-10 years younger than me probably should. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well, I was born in 1976 so my prime gaming years were spent with the NES and SNES. I backed Retro in their new Kickstarter and picked the option to get the back issues in PDF format as well. Heard a lot about good things about this magazine and I have no problem reading on my PC.

Warren Davis did a lengthy interview with Retro Gaming Radio a few years ago, and he certainly sounded like someone with lots of interesting stories to tell!
