Atari Gamer Writers sign up

[Dan Iacovelli]

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:
@Arenafoot: Convention listings and Homebrew 2600 Reviews
@Max_Chatsworth: Atari computer game reviews

Edited June 27, 2020 by Dan Iacovelli

I am just getting back into my old Atari computers and I have some home hacking/game reviews that I might want to contribute. Is it only open to industry professionals?

 

Thanks

Great...thanks.  I am just getting my old systems up and running. I can't cover events/conventions..too much work and family.  What sort of things would you like to see specifically?

 

Thanks.

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.

 

Thanks

[Dan Iacovelli]

if games are easier for to review  on emulators for sure.
