Ever get your Letter in a Magazine?

[GENESISNES]

Well....

Ever get your letter/email in a vg magazine?
Ever try to get one in there? how many times?
What was it about?
What magazine?

I tried sending a letter to expert gamer to inform them they were missing a badge in Paper Mario, but they didn't publish it.

[Keir]

No, but I did have a letter published in Hit Parader once.

[IntvGene]

I got one of my letters printed in Next Generation many years back. It was in response to the rating of the consoles. I was mad at them because they were predicting the demise of the poor 3DO and saturn (stupid fools turned out to be right!).

I remember because I was so mad because they never responded to my email. And, I said to myself, "This magazine sucks! They didn't even respond to my letter". Because they usually sent me a response to my letters (emails). And then I walked into the local video game store, and he says "Hey, I read your letter". I was so shocked. So, I picked up a copy of the magazine and I still have it to this day. Ony of my friends bought one and asked me to sign it... as a joke.

Yeah...I emailed in to one of those "Classic games that we've forgotten" columns in Official USPSM and they printed it once.

[Captain Wrong]

Does Penthouse count?

[Kid Fenris]

I had a few "What Ifs" in EGM and EGM2 back when the magazines still ran that column. My submissions were really stupid, too. I think one of them was "What if Reptile [from Mortal Kombat II] turned invisible and tied his opponents' shoelaces together?"

That should give you a good idea of why both magazines eventually scrapped the "What if . . ." feature.

[Sniderman]

I got a True Fact printed in National Lampoon once. That's one of my minor victories. (Got a t-shirt too!)

[Six Switch]

Never,but one of these days......maybe I'll get my room in T&T,if I'm lucky... :/

[carnage6]

I did a long time ago in EGM. It is the issue with Star Trek 6 on the cover. I asked the question about the Super Gun system.

i used to write them to nintendo power every once in a while but none ever got printed.

Skip letters; how about having your picture in the Nintendo Fun Club magazine? :-) If you've got some old issues, I'm in the one with the halloween costumes. I think it was one of the first two or three. Look for me among the photos of about a half dozen Links. Heh. I need to go dig that up again some time. It's pretty amusing.

[Raedon]

Just want to say that a letter to Penthouse does count if it had something to do with hitchhiking and a convertable full of college girls.

[GENESISNES]

my friend got a SWEET picture of the skull kid that took majora's mask jumping. he drew it all by hand. it wasnt a winner, but it says John Alsop, Hugo Minnesota.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Yes, i appeared in "Club Nintendo" (México), "Action games" (Argentina) and soon..."Tips and tricks"...je

I had a few somewhat infamous letters in the 90's rendition of Electronic Games. Started with correcting the Game Doctor on the existence of SQ:WW, culminated with me telling them to slap Steven Kent around for giving Tempest 2K a D+ (or something like that rating). Maybe they did, as I believe he now says it is one of his favorites. Refer to page 489 of his "The Ultimate History of Video Games"* - "Yes, for those of you who remember, I did give Tempest 2000 a D+ score in Electronic Games. What can I say, I repent."

* (book should have been subtitled "No really, I did some original writing this time, not straight copying from Zap, Phoenix, and Game Over, like I did in those excerpts printed in Next Generation before I was able to get a publishing deal for this book when it was called 'The First Quarter'")

[CrazyImpmon]

I've written only once and by fluke it was printed, in Nintendo Power magazine, May 2001. They were asking what games should be made/ported to GBA and I must have had a great idea. (still waiting for that game to get made...)

I have the distinction of having the first fan letter ever published in a videogame magazine.

The first edition of the original Electronic Games had a letters page, but it contained letters from people in the industry who were sent advance copies of the magazine. The second issue contained actual letters and mine was the first!

I had a second letter printed several months letter. A list of all my printed letters can be found here:

I've had a letter printed in EGM twice: once during the good era (aka the Semrad Years) and once during the P.O.S era (aka Now). I recently sent them another letter in response to their saying that Cap v. SNK EO for the Xbox is the first ever online fighting game for console...ah, how quickly we forget.[/i]
