game informer is pretty sweet. i always head straight to the retro section myself. since i first read it i've thought it would be pretty sweet to work there seeing as its from here in minneapolis. you should do me a solid racket tell them to hire me. that'd be sweet

I'll definitely be checking this out when my copy arrives.

Will it say that you helped write it on the page?

Yeah, it mentions me and the site. I didn't actually write any of it -- just helped them put together the list, the values, and a bit of background info to get them started.
They also mention that you can find a by-console breakdown here.

It will be in the retro section -- I think it's actually a two-parter too -- so there may be more in the issue after that.
I don't think I'd have much pull on getting people hired lol

Someone should make a magazine about retro games. holla

[superlarz]

Someone did make a retro game mag, but only released in in PDF. i forget the site, and i am not sure that they still do it. It would be really cool if someone did it in print, but as print media is failing right now its probably impossible. If someone would be willing to donate time to do formatting and editing, im sure we could round up enough people from this site to do reviews and articles, and things of that nature.


And getting mentioned in Game Informer is AWESOME!

You're thinking of Retro Action Magazine.

http://www.retroactionmagazine.com/

They're a quarterly publication, next issue is due out in May. I joined their staff a little late, so I missed the first issue, but I'll have something in the second.

There's still Retro Gamer in the UK, no?

Racketboy, can you upload the pdf files once the magazine is published?

[racketboy]

I just have the PDF of the retro section, but I can probably once its published.
