Dan Iacovelli Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am in the process of relaunching my old Fanzine "The Atari Zone" which ran for good 6 years and has been reviewed by Arnie Katz in some of his magazines. the new magazine will be called "The Atari Gamer" and will be sold via magcloud both digital and print. A preview issue will be out in July print at VGS 2020 and digital at out website. Here is what I'm looking for: Reviewers: anything Atari game related (looking for homebrew game reviewers as well) Reporters: convention reviews (usually if I'm attending a convention I would do my own) there will be no subscription as people can get it from magcloud (print price is based upon # of pages, digital is 2.00 flat) if your interested please reply to this topic and what you like to do. and I'll get back to you. Signed up so far: @Max_Chatsworth: Atari computer game reviews Edited March 16 by Dan Iacovelli Edited : minus one writer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, well I'll have to do 8 bit or ST computer game reviews as I don't have and never did have the 2600 system, being more of a computer guy than a gamer :). I'm a software engineer now. I'll update you when I have my gear running. Would it be ok to do review using emulators as it's sometimes easier to screen cap and just actually get the games.

Dan Iacovelli Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 if games are easier for to review on emulators for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
