The deadline for contributions to issue 3 is June 1, 2012

Looking for, but not limited to, the following content:

News - happenings in the realm of classic gaming

Classic gaming expo coverage - photos, event report including interviews with organizers and attendees

Classic arcade gaming tournaments - photos, event report including player & organizer interviews and scores

Classic software/hardware reviews - home brews, old brews, new hardware for old systems, old system maintenance and repair etc.

Interviews - developers, gamers and other notable personalities

Game rooms - photographs of classic game rooms and commentary

Articles - an in-depth classic gaming article on a given topic


Send me a PM if interested in contributing quality content!

[Parodius Duh!]

only up until 86?


broaden your horizons. Only so much can be said about Atari, Vectrex, and colecovision. Odyssey, whatever else there was....I just dont care.

Make room for NES stuff.

I read "consoles released up to and including 1986." That'd mean that the Atari 7800, the NES and the Sega Master System would be included.

[Parodius Duh!]

Yeah, I read that. 1986 doesnt include much NES and Master system information seeing as how games were produced for both consoles up until the mid 90s. What are we going to talk about mario brothers, excite bike, the VS system? sweet.

[Lady Jaye]

Well, he didn't indicate GAMES released up to 1986, but rather CONSOLES. Therefore, even later NES titles could be included. On the other hand, the 1986 cutoff year would exclude systems like the TG-16.

That's right I said "consoles" not "games." So, any games written for NES, Master System and 7800 are included.

Regarding "broaden your horizons": I'm glad you said that!

Focus is what makes Retrocade Magazine unique - we specialize. Here's what altdotgames.com said (now, technically they are incorrect about the "all about retro arcade games" because our content is consoles and arcade):

In case you can’t tell from the cover or the name, Retrocade is all about retro arcade games. No Gameboy, Genesis, or N64 news or reviews in here. Instead they go back even further to the days of Donkey Kong and Moon Patrol.
