Nateo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Mike, I got my magazine in today, and I gotta say, it's even better than I was hoping for. Nothing but quality through and through; the printing, the layouts, the WRITING... truly professional. Thank you for such a quality magazine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My RETRO arrived today! (St Paul MN) Havent yet opened it but I am a bit disappointed by the "bumper sticker". I was thinking a foot-long rectangular sticker. This oval border's printing is off-center, a bit unprofessional IMO. I upped my donation by $5 for the sticker. Regardless, cant wait to read it, & IIRC on Facebook they want subscribers to pose near a local landmark w/ their issue. I know just the place...

They are more along the lines of a cool bumper sticker. We've been waiting for the Tshirts to come in as some people bought both. The oval sticker was a freebie to all print subs on Kickstarter Let us know what you think about the mag. And look for your bumper sticker to mail out soon.

RJ Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ok cool, thats good to know. I did appreciate that it was delivered wrapped, is that the plan for all subsequent issues? My UK RetroGamer mag had that & no issue was ever damaged. I usu. take my mag to work tomread on break, but I dont want to chance damaging it before a good solid read-thru so it'll stay in the house for now.

+SabertoothRetro Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I got my magazine today. I had skipped the digital issue so I wouldn't spoil the experience of the print version. I really enjoyed the Computer Space feature, interview with Ed Semrad and retrospective on useless peripherals. Personally, I'd love to see an ongoing feature on useless peripherals. Overall, this is a great initial effort and I look forward to the ongoing evolution of the magazine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethfactor Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mike, Thanks for taking the time to review Desert Bus 2600 in the January issue. That being said, I think your review was entirely too kind. I think you should play it to completion once, possibly twice then review it. I think your score will be more accurate and comments might be more disparaging. At any rate thank you for your effort and your magazine is great. I look forward to hopefully reading more reviews of our more legitimate releases in Retro. Just kidding about the re-review though, unless you're up for it. Desert Bus 2600 is not for the weak of heart or bladder. Thanks, -M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
