Yea sounds like great guys running it... Ill be there

[Two retro gaming events I'm going to this month - Anyone else?]

First is a week away in Ottumwa Iowa - Galaxies of Gaming - http://ottumwaoldschoolarcade.com- Where the whole Twin Galaxies thing started up. A bunch of those original gamers are coming back.

 

Second is the week after that (weekend before Thanksgiving) - Free Play Florida in Orlando, FL - http://freeplayflorida.com. This looks awesome in size and people!

[Retro-Bit Super Retrocade with Capcom, Data East games]

I'm going to be getting one of these from Retro-Bit for a review for the magazine, and I'll get something up on the site/magazine as soon as i can. I did see they added some more games for it.

[Free Play Florida 2017 - November 17-19!]

PrOK,

 

Can you please have someone email me. Rb@oldschoolgamermagazine.com. Ok trying to get exhibitor/press info.

[I typed in a BASIC program from a 35yo mag...and just talked to its author]

Wow I totally remember doing this. Almost feel like doing it again for the memories.

[PLAYTHROUGH Gaming Convention 2018 Raleigh NC]

Rev,

 

Just sent you a message via your site also.... anyways... I put an email in to Playthrough and didn't hear back from them yet. If you could get me any phone number for them I'd be appreciative as I want to bring the magazine there

 

Hit me at rb@oldschoolgamermagazine.com if you could as I'd love to talk to you tomorrow before meeting you at Portland on Friday.

[All of you!]

Understood. I wasn't after the advertising and promo.... I was looking for writers..... so I shouldn't have put that extra plug on there. So I'm sorry for that.

 

I was looking for writers, don't know how else I can say my purpose of being on here this weekend.

[All of you!]

I have removed 5 of the threads, if you post one more with this topic, I will disable your posting.

 

Thanks.

Understood CPUWiz. I was literally looking for writers in those exact categories and I have admitted my mistake above and thought those posts would stay.

 

I'd like your advice. How should I look for writers on these forums? I've been told this is an amazing resource that I should have visited a couple weeks ago.

 

I did receive 2 great applications for writers so far from the conversations here.

[Munchman for Android Available]

Would love an iOS version. There is an iOS version of Parsec.

I second this!

[All of you!]

And asking strangers to push the wagon for you, too! Good luck!

But I was looking to pay writers for both online and feature level material for the magazine.

 

Many great magazines are still being published in print... they just have to find a niche that works that no one else can do better. We have some great ideas and concepts that we are working towards on such.

 

Take Nintendo Force that has taken the place of Nintendo Power as an unofficial version of the same thing. 3000+ subscribers and the largest publication from what I have heard on the Patreon system. If I can accomplish 1/3rd of that number as paid print subscribers I'll be happy.

[All of you!]

Maybe a title that is less "spammy". (and that is coming from a fellow spammer haha)

 

How about: New retro game magazine is launching. Free digital copies!

But I was looking for writers that I would pay to write for us good content both for the site and the magazine. I was saving the promotional for the free digital magazine for the ads I was looking to run with AtariAge when they get back to me.

[PLAYTHROUGH Gaming Convention 2018 Raleigh NC]

My favorite so far is Midwest Gaming Classic - Milwaukee in April.

 

Only other one I have been to is Classic Game Fest in Austin which was a blast.

 

Any others that any of you would recommend incheck out if I wanted to do 5-6 each year?

[All of you!]

Dude. You have eleven posts on this board, and they're all variations on this ridiculous "need writers" theme. Common courtesy dictates that you at least buy us a drink before putting the moves on us. We don't know you.

Thank you for calling me on this. I've spent the last hour or so doing a lot of reading and some posting. I ran a chat board (and still host one) for about 15 years from 1995 to 2010 (now I just have moderators maintain it) and hated when people did what I did to this AtariAge community.

 

I should have spent the time getting to know people better, I had been intermittently reading but not posting ever since I set up an account many years ago... like I've seen on my site stats that a lot of people do.

 

Please I welcome talking to people on here or at a conference or on the phone... Skype or however. Please reach out to me.

[Volunteers Needed for Setup / Teardown of AtariAge Booth]

Albert.... I'll be getting there around 10am on Friday and have a 5 minutes set up for my booth. I'll come by and me and my son can help however you need

[2017 Portland Retro Gaming Expo - Who's going?]

Will be there for the first time!

[Wow do I ever need arcade owners, game owners and players!]

I shall never read, purchase, or download any publication with such flagrant disregard for the Oxford Comma. Shocking, foul-smelling, and annoying!

Sorry, I speak more informally here on chat boards and don't my cleanup tools that fix my English skills. Typing on my phone.

[PLAYTHROUGH Gaming Convention 2018 Raleigh NC]

How many usually attend this event?

[All of you!]

Ok I'm simply sorry. People on Facebook groups I regular suggested I visit and had suggested I do such. I'm sorry it wasn't kosher what I did.

 

Concerning the other magazine that is listed on our magazines page with the material from 2009-2011, those are magazines that I have made arrangements/agreements with to put into our archives of similar magazines. We have made such arrangements with two other similar magazines and will be soon putting them online. So no I didn't publish gaming magazines and take a break

 

Concerning review copies of products ... that is traditional in these media situations both in the dj arena where we have all the experience and in the consumer electronics/software industries.

 

As to the advisory board yes they are contracted for such and are working with us. Plus if you look at our writers you will see a lot of other well established names.

 

Yes I'm very familiar with Mike Kennedys rise and fall within the industry and another person I met down in Austin I'd working on bringing back Retro under new management.

 

Ps I have also contacted management here about advertising.

 

Ps2 Our first issue goes online free digital as of tomorrow as it's about to ship print on Wednesday. We will have copies at Portland for everyone that wants one for those of you that want to meet in person

[Seedi - yet another emulation box, perhaps good enough?]

Doubteers going to Portland this weekend... they will be there. I'm very interested in seeing jt

[Genesis and Master System fans are wanted!]

Bards Tale... one of my favorite games.

 

Whoops... meant boards.

[All of you!]

Gaming isn't just about consoles and arcade machines, many of us games on computers, for me the 99-4a and then my Apple IIc and IIgs....

[Wow do I ever need arcade owners, game owners and players!]

I'm a virtual VCR full of memories and good times. Unfortunately my writing is too childish for publication.

Try me. Let's talk

[Genesis and Master System fans are wanted!]

Sorry to have bothered you and possibly others. I was hitting in several boards that I specifically needed people writing in. I have found with my experience in these areas that on a niche style board like this sometimes people only visit certain bards.
