InsaneDavid Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm sure quite a few people here remember Retrogaming Times and Retrogaming Times Monthly. Heck, I know for a fact some of you contributed to one or both newsletters. I myself contributed to Retrogaming Times Monthly from 2004 - 2013. In early 2014 the newsletter went on hiatus. I got to talking with the outgoing editors and in early 2016 plans were underway to revive the newsletter on a bimonthly basis with a relaxed deadline schedule. I stepped up as Chief Editor and lead the revival, rechristening the newsletter as "The Retrogaming Times."The Retrogaming Times - The Bimonthly Retrogaming Hobbyist NewsletterPublication began in March of 2016 and our most recent issue, as well as all our back issues, can be read at the link above. http://www.classicplastic.net/trt is the location of the new newsletter and where it is published. It's important for anyone who visits to understand The Retrogaming Times is a "roots" retrogaming newsletter. A newsletter where a "letter to the editor" is published as an article, and the person who wrote it is credited as a Contributing Writer. From there a Contributing Writer is welcomed and encouraged to turn an article into a reoccurring column, with absolutely no obligation to do so. If there is one thing I want to continue forward with, it is that The Retrogaming Times is open to all who have something to say. Everyone I've ever had any contact with in all my years of playing video games has had an experience, a story, opinion, though, idea, memory or knowledge to share. That is the core of The Retrogaming Times. "If there is something you want to write about, send it in."Many contributors from the previous newsletters continued on with me and we're all looking forward to our little slice of retrogaming fandom to continue to grow. Article submissions are ALWAYS open.Additionally if you have a show or event you would like listed in the "Upcoming Events" section, e-mail me directly as well. No show or event is too small!

InsaneDavid Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 NOTICE: The next issue (September 2017) will be the 20 year anniversary of the original Retrogaming Times. I have attempted to reach out to as many people who have written for the four incarnations of the newsletter over the years. (Retrogaming Times, Bit Age Times, Retrogaming Times Monthly, The Retrogaming Times) However if you haven't heard from me and you are a previous contributor, PLEASE consider writing a one-off for this special issue.Deadline is AUGUST 22nd. All topics are open, as usual, as long as they have something to do with retrogaming. That's a term and time-frame that's changed a lot over the past twenty years, but the phrase, "Just because it's old doesn't mean it isn't fun" should continue to ring true. If you need a topic, "Legacy" would be the one to have in mind. Additionally if you've thought about contributing in the past, there is no better time than this upcoming issue. Reoccurring columns are great but one-shots are always very much appreciated as well.August 22nd is an absolute hard deadline this issue (they usually are anyway) due to larger editing workload that will come with having more contributions.Thank you for reading The Retrogaming Times.

InsaneDavid Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Addendum, as I forgot to include this information in the last post:Contributing is super easy! There's a rather (overly) detailed list of guidelines here - http://www.classicplastic.net/trt/submissions.html - along with a much more concise simplified list of the important points at the top. It pretty much boils down to, "If there's something you want to write about, send it in" - simple as that. The avenue of subject is always open, as long as it has something to do with retrogaming in some form. That term has changed an awful lot over the past twenty years but to me it boils down to the idea that, “Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it still isn’t fun.” There is no word limit however I do ask that contributors try to refrain from submitting something akin to a thesis paper. As Tom Zjaba, Retrogaming Times founder, would say - "Keep it short, keep it clean, keep it relevant." I'm okay with stretching the first two, but only to a certain degree. Submit your article(s) to trt@classicplastic.net - which is the official contact address for submissions. Content: .doc, .rtf (preferred), .txt, .docx, or plain e-mail text. Images: Recommended but not required and shouldn’t overpower the text, simply send as attachments, zipped or not, embedded in document is fine, if you have specific locations in mind for images, please let me know. Byline: Name you would like to be credited as (this will also be on the main index under staff, permanent credit) e-mail address: Recommended but not required, this will be a link both in the byline of your article as well as on the main index as your staff contact. Video: PLEASE lean away from video links as we’re a text publication as always and if there’s one thing that is horribly broken in older issues it is offsite video links. To this end, we do not embed video into the newsletter, but limited video links to support a column or to provide additional information is okay. That’s about it. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to discuss something pertaining to the newsletter, please feel free to contact me directly at the submissions address.

InsaneDavid Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Thank you for doing this. I enjoyed Retrogaming Times Monthly and was sad when it shut down. Thank you! However the majority of any thanks must really go to my fellow staff who contribute their time and articles to the newsletter. Speaking of which - next deadline (for the January 2018 issue) is December 22nd for anyone who may be interested in sending in an article!

InsaneDavid Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) This is an official announcement that the long anticipated Newsletter Legacy Archive is now live. This is a collected archive of every issue of Retrogaming Times, Bit Age Times, Retrogaming Times Monthly, and The Retrogaming Times in .PDF file format, ready for direct download. Over 200 total issues across more than 20 years!The link to this part of the site can be found on the main index: http://www.classicplastic.net/trtRetrogaming Times, Bit Age Times, and Retrogaming Times Monthly each feature single download links to obtain every issue in each respective newsletter. Issues of The Retrogaming Times will have .PDF files added to the Legacy Archive as they are published.PLEASE read the formatting information on the Legacy Archive page so you understand exactly what you are downloading, as most issues will have download options for two different layout configurations.Additionally the entire archive is backed up, offline, in three locations. There is no need to stash the whole thing away or redistribute it elsewhere. In fact I would rather the archive not be redistributed at all, so that any updates or fixes will always take place at the top.If you notice any problems, links that don't go anywhere or point to the wrong file, please contact me using the e-mail contact on the Legacy Archive page.Thank you very much for your patience while this undertaking was completed and thank you for reading The Retrogaming Times.

InsaneDavid Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Thank you! I was afraid the old RTM had been absorbed by RetroJunk and was impossible to recover! No problem. Much to the credit of The Retro Junkies (who continue to promote and contribute to The Retrogaming Times), they never had an opportunity to host an archive of any previous issues. I built the archive from a number of sources that had become less than easily accessible over the years. Additionally some reworking needed to be done to quite a few issues to fix problems in how they were originally archived, fixing image links, recovering some images and formatting, etc. I also built a couple dozen or so issues from the ground up in an archival format, as they never had an archival attempt made for them. Of course dead in-issue video links in the later issues were removed where possible and links that were flagging as pointing to potentially hazardous external locations were disabled. Still, as mentioned on the archival package, please use caution with in-issue links as you would with any 20 year old site you may find on the Web. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Tallarico Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I'm sure quite a few people here remember Retrogaming Times and Retrogaming Times Monthly. Heck, I know for a fact some of you contributed to one or both newsletters. I myself contributed to Retrogaming Times Monthly from 2004 - 2013. In early 2014 the newsletter went on hiatus. I got to talking with the outgoing editors and in early 2016 plans were underway to revive the newsletter on a bimonthly basis with a relaxed deadline schedule. I stepped up as Chief Editor and lead the revival, rechristening the newsletter as "The Retrogaming Times." The Retrogaming Times - The Bimonthly Retrogaming Hobbyist Newsletter Publication began in March of 2016 and our most recent issue, as well as all our back issues, can be read at the link above. http://www.classicplastic.net/trt is the location of the new newsletter and where it is published. It's important for anyone who visits to understand The Retrogaming Times is a "roots" retrogaming newsletter. A newsletter where a "letter to the editor" is published as an article, and the person who wrote it is credited as a Contributing Writer. From there a Contributing Writer is welcomed and encouraged to turn an article into a reoccurring column, with absolutely no obligation to do so. If there is one thing I want to continue forward with, it is that The Retrogaming Times is open to all who have something to say. Everyone I've ever had any contact with in all my years of playing video games has had an experience, a story, opinion, though, idea, memory or knowledge to share. That is the core of The Retrogaming Times. "If there is something you want to write about, send it in." Many contributors from the previous newsletters continued on with me and we're all looking forward to our little slice of retrogaming fandom to continue to grow. Article submissions are ALWAYS open. Additionally if you have a show or event you would like listed in the "Upcoming Events" section, e-mail me directly as well. No show or event is too small! Thanks for covering the Amico in your latest issue. Although I'm personally a little disappointed you don't have high hopes for it... I do look forward to proving you wrong. Seriously though... I would only ask that you keep an open mind about everything until you've had a chance to play it. Lots of things we haven't announced yet that are going to be absolute "game changers" (pun intended) for the industry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneDavid Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Thanks for covering the Amico in your latest issue. Although I'm personally a little disappointed you don't have high hopes for it... I do look forward to proving you wrong. Seriously though... I would only ask that you keep an open mind about everything until you've had a chance to play it. Lots of things we haven't announced yet that are going to be absolute "game changers" (pun intended) for the industry. I didn't personally write that article, any comments concerning a column should be directed toward its respective journalist - an e-mail link is provided under the byline of each article, as well as on the main index staff contact list. I don't believe he ever posts here these days, so directly addressing an announcement post as if it's responding to the specific columnist who wrote a well-written musing about an upcoming product is essentially the equivalent of spitting into the wind.
