Here We Go. . . The first time you do anything new, it's always a massive learning experience. Nothing is going to be perfect, you're going to find a million things you could have done better, and in the aftermath your thoughts are consumed with shoulds, woulds, and coulds. Thankfully we have followers who are vocal with not just their praise but also their criticism. While it's great to hear what our readers liked, it's even better for us to know didn't work. And boy howdy, did we get loads of suggestions for what we could improve. Hopefully you'll see a number of them as you flip through the pages. Our cover is a professional piece by Danell Fugate . For more of her great art, check out her website at spoonybardess.deviantart.com Co-Founders: In many ways, the second issue of a magazine is more significant than the first. Nick Abrams You're proving that you aren't a one-trick pony. But you're also proving you listen Carl Williams to readers. You're taking those critiques to heart. And you're using the praise you Editor in Chief: earned to push through that difficult trial period. Carl Williams Criticism, suggestion and praise don't lose their value after the second issue though. They become more precious as time goes on, directing us onwards and upwards. We'll experiment, we'll try new things, and we promise that everything we cover relates to our name in some way. That's our pledge, our part of the deal as Retro Gaming Magazine. Creative Direction Game on! Questions, concerns or plain ready to rant contact us at Michael Crisman Eugenio Angueira In Memory of Bill “The Game Doctor” Your part of the deal is to hold us to those standards, tell us when stuff doesn't work, and (hopefully) enjoy reading the stuff that does. We can't shake all of your Kunkel hands individually to seal that deal, but at the very least we can put it in writing. --Michael Crisman Corrections: In our first issue, the interview with Susan Jaekel featured various game covers that she painted around the border of the page. One of those boxes was wrong. We intended to run the Sears version of Brain Games but somehow the Atari version got inserted. retrogaminmag at Gmail.com Turn the page ands start enjoying the mag already! This is the correct Brain Games box that Ms. Jaekel worked on. Our apologies for any confusion this may have caused. Special thanks to The Retro League Podcast for their support.
