RETRO: The Multi-Format, Throw-Back Magazine - KICKSTARTER


Recommended Posts

Shit you guys got me about Gamestop.

Yes! Before I saw this thread, I got the Kickstarter announcement e-mail, and my heart was sinking as I read it. I forgot what day it was until I got to the very end. Well played!

 

Great job on the second issue, too; mine just arrived yesterday. I haven't read it yet, but it looks fantastic!

Yup, I started up a rage email to send to them and then thought....wait...let me see the whole thing and there it was at the bottom. Heart attack averted

Of all the April fools things I saw yesterday, this was the only one that I believed for a couple minutes. After the Oculus/Facebook deal this sounded like it could be true. After I did a few google searches looking for more info and nothing showed up, it finally dawned on me I should double check the email.

Hey, RJ.

 

Sorry it wasn't longer. (I wrote it, along with the two sidebars.) We figured that 1300 words and 4 pages were enough! Though there's more where that came from. We are working on a full book on the art of Atari, and I will also be speaking at the Midwest Gaming Classic on the topic on April 12.

2nd issue rec'd (mpls/St Paul Mn)

Wish that Atari Art feature was longer.

I've received issues one and two but in fairness I haven't really looked at number two yet... I've been enjoying the first issue and have been reading it from front to back and loving it, Great stuff!

 

Oh by the way, I'm in Canada and the issues are getting to me a little later than the lucky folks in the US but like I said above, I'm behind on my reading so that's ok... well until I catch up!! lol

 

Issue three is on the way?? Well I better get reading then, shouldn't I??

 

Overall, great stuff and I'm glad I backed this project... totally something I felt was worth my contribution! Continued successes!
