VectorGamer Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks guys! Catherine DeSpira's article on Polybius is one of the best I've read in quite some time. I could tell from reading it that she put a lot of time and effort into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desfeek Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've got both issues of this wonderful publication, and they are both chalk-full of fun retro-gaming coverage. I think my personal favorite thing are all the old-school advertisements, logos, and screenshots used by Rob and his crew to make each page colorful, inviting, and readable. Like a couple people have said, at $1.29, how can you go wrong? You'll spend a good half-hour just scanning the 182 pages of this sophomore issue, let alone reading the articles that interest you. It's a PDF document, so you can save it to multiple devices after purchase - I feel like a commercial. I promise you'll enjoy it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grig Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Absolutely fantastic. I ordered both issues (for $3????? - are these people nuts???? "He's no nuts - he's crazy!"). I won't miss an issue from here on out. Superb. Great articles, great pics, high scores, just absolute retro gaming goodness. My compliments to Mr. Maerz and everyone else who worked on/contributed to this fantastic magazine. Bravo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks everyone for the kind remarks - hearing that keeps us going. I want to share with you comments from our Braumeister Award winner for the purpose of illustrating why Retrocade Magazine is here and you can read about that in my editorial in issue 1. I'm not going to mention his name so as to not ruin the fun for those who have not yet read it. But, you get a clue in that it is a Vectrex game. Wow ! Wow ! Thanks a lot, I'm really, really honored ! I would like to thank hereby all the vectrex-fans who bought the game and are enjoying it. Also, I would like to thank all the people who gave me such nice encouragements over the past months ! This is a great motivation for continuing vectrex developments ! Thanks for the great magazine !
