Albert Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 The first issue of Video Game Collector, a new magazine covering classic gaming consoles, is now shipping. One of Video Game Collector's highlights is a complete price guide and checklist for every major video game system from the Atari 2600 up through the Xbox. In addition to the price guide, here's a sample of what else you'll find in the first issue: Cover story on all Spider-Man video games Excerpt from Ralph Baer's forthcoming book Homebrew Column Excerpt from an upcoming book by Walter Day Classic Game Reviews You can learn more and subscribe today at VGCollector.com.

infaction Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I can't find any info on how to order. Also, I don't want a subscription...just one issue to see if it's worth the time. Their website is basically useless. What's the deal and how can people get issues? Thankee sai Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Does anywhere sell just one issue like Packrat did with Manci games? There are no Rhino stores near me. Thanks, RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy-sixer Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I went to their subscribe page and I didn't see any way to subscribe. There was no form or any type of link to a form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vgcmagazine Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Dan, Those are your copies--feel free to share them with friends, save 'em for next year or sell them door to door. If you would like us to sponsor next year just let us know. Also, I wanted to let everyone know Video Game Collector will be sponsoring the auction at CGE. The folks who worked on issue #1 will be donating items from their private collections to be auctioned off, and all of the proceeds will be donated to the Special Olympics. Oh, that reminds me....Al, would you like to donate something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Kick ass! Rhino Videogames!! I'm hitting it up tomorrow! I wonder if they will have any there yet.. Hopefully so, will definitely pick one up if they do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adonick Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Got the issue. It's quite well done. However you guys are missing 7th Saga by Enix for SNES. That game is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yep looks really good, although it does appear to be missing a few titles. Around half the TG16 CD list is missing/left out, but I have't really looked through every list. And not everything from Atari to X-box is in it yet? No Bally, although maybe they are classifing as computer? No Arcadia or Virtual Boy, or Neo Geo CD, although it does have AES & NGPC.. No Channel F, this might of came out before Atari, so not within there slogan, not that that concerns me No Game.com either. or those APF systems.. Some I could care less about personally, although I think Virual Boy could be added, and it's a small list, wouldn't take much room at all. Maybe as time goes more will be added.

zmweasel Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Issue #1's Price Guide wasn't proofed to perfection, but rest assured that Issue #2's PG will include the missing titles mentioned above, fix various typos, and maybe squeeze in a few of the obscure systems. Virtual Boy is a no-brainer, and I'm a fan of Astrocade, so I'm pushin' for that, too. -- Zach (VGC's EiC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 No Arcadia The Arcadia and Starpath carts are listed under the 2600 By Arcadia, he was probably referring to the Arcadia 2001. Not the supercharger. Issue 1's a nice premeire issue. I especially liked the review section which I though was honest and well thought out. I'm looking forward to issue 2.

Rockin' Kat Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I got the first issue of this Magazine in the mail a few days ago. It's the first magazine in general that I've really found very interesting in quite a while. I think it's defenently worth getting a subscription.

homerwannabee Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I tried looking for it in my local comic book shop, but no such luck. I think I might just mail you guys a money order and get it that way. It seems like you guys are doing pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
