Here We Go. . .
Writing these things is not easy, anyone that thinks they are should
try writing one someday. This is usually where you hear about great
things coming to the mag, or in this particular issue or some other
rambling of random thoughts.

What this magazine represents is something that started over half a
decade ago. I was fortunate enough to come into contact with Bill
“The Game Doctor” Kunkel through the forums over at
J2Games.com, we discussed many things publicly and privately, we Co-Founders:
discussed stuff like gaming magazine direction and a lot of “what if” Nick Abrams
Carl Williams
scenarios.
One of those scenarios is now a reality. While it was not called Retro
Gaming Magazine at the time, the idea was planted way back in
those discussions with the Doctor. Joining up with Nick Abrams,
former co-founding/co-host of The Retro League podcast and the
man responsible for the name of this magazine, RGM was born.
This was around 2011. RGM was originally planned for release in
early 2012 but due to various problems internally, it just got pushed
to the wayside.

Nick mentioned giving it one more shot around the middle of 2013,
one last shot– do or die. Put up or shut up type thing. A post (“Rise
Questions, concerns
from your grave”) was posted on the RGM Facebook page and
or plain ready to rant
various forums and interest swelled immensely from there.
