Electronic Games's Arcade Express & Hotline

[slapdash]

There was a time when Electronic Games was putting out a newsletter of extra news & stuff they couldn't get into the mag, or was more timely. For a while it was called Arcade Express and later changed to Hotline. Anybody have any of these?

 

Somebody asked me which issues I had, and it turns out we both have Vol. 1 #10 through Vol. 1 #26 of Arcade Express and Vol. 2 #1 through Vol. 2 #11 of Hotline. Were there any others? I'm pretty sure there's no gap between them, as they were both biweekly and the dates match up, but I'm not sure how we'd both miss the first 9... And are there more issues after Vol. 2 #11?

 

Of course, if anyone has these, I might be interested in purchasing any I don't have, as well as just rounding up the info. :-)

Russ,

 

Can you scan the ones you have and post somewhere? I'd be very interested in checking those out!

I have all of them. I remember there was a delay in the first issue of Arcade Express, I even called Reese Publishing to make sure I wouldn't miss an issue. At the end of the run they offered a refund or a subscribtion to a Reese Publishing magazine for those who had issues remaining in thier subscription.

 

Volume 1 # 1 is dated August 15,1982

26 issues

 

Volume 2 # 1 is dated August 14,1983

26 issues

 

Volume 3 # 1 dated August 12, 1984 last issue.

 

Sorry I'm not interested in selling them.

Is anyone able to scan the ones they have?

This would be a great addition to the Classic Computer Magazine Archive. I've been thinking about contacting the Electronic Games people for a long time. Can someone tell me if it has the same copyright information as Electronic Games?

Not any time soon... I still haven't found the time to READ them! Sorry about that. Don't rule it out, but don't expect it either...
