What's it about? Video game collecting and classic gaming. What are the goals? To entertain (via the irreverent editorial voice) and educate (via the newbie-collector articles and DP-powered price guide).

Could you point me in the right direction to an indie outlet in the tri-state area? Also, what's your definition of classic? I love Sega Genesis. I love SNES. Are they considered classic now? What i'm asking is, what is the cut off?

I'll have to get back to you on indie outlets in the tri-state area, as the publisher handles the bid-ness aspects of the magazine (including distribution), while I focus on the editorial.

VGC's definition of "classic" is the same as Joe Santulli's: "It doesn't have to be 'old' to be classic." We reviewed everything from 2600 to PS1 in the first issue, and we're reviewing everything from Astrocade to PS2 in the second issue (which kinda-sorta has a Genesis theme).

With modern titles, the focus is on old-school roots: for example, issue #2's reviews of River City Ransom EX and Midway Arcade Treasures 2. With older titles, the focus is on collectibility: for example, issue #1's reviews of Beyond Shadowgate, Keio Flying Squadron, and Pirates! Gold.
