Unfortunately this folded before I got my first issue. I just received this e-mail. I'm sure this will be discussed in the Manci Games forum as well.

C'mon now, don't frown. You and Manci Games gave it our best shot!
After much blood, sweat, and tears, Manci Games Magazine has decided to call it quits. While our subscriber base has been the absolute best that one
could ask for, we feel that the market simply is not big enough to support a
monthly, full color, 48-page magazine dedicated solely to the retro-gaming
market.
The Bad News: No more Manci Games after Issue 2.
The Good News: All paid subscribers will receive a full pro-rata refund!
If you paid by Paypal, your refund will be sent back via Paypal. If you
paid by check or money order, a check will be issued. All refunds will be
issued by June15th, 2004.
In order to make sure that the returns process flows smoothly, we will be
ensuring that everyone who subscribed through 10:00 PM on June 3rd, 2004
will receive a copy of both Issue #1 and Issue #2. This will allow an even
10/12 pro-rata refund to all subscribers, while also giving any late-comers
the opportunity to acquire both issues for $2.00 each. Expect these to show up in your mailbox within the next two weeks.
Thanks again to all of our subscribers. You guys are the best readership a
new mag could hope for. Also, thank you to all of our contributors. There
would not have been a magazine without you.
While Manci Games is packing it in, there are a few upstarts willing to give
it another go!

them!
Manci Games Magazine might be dead...but Manci Games Publishing lives on.
