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

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.

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.

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.

This is the correct Brain Games box that Ms. Jaekel worked
on. Our apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
