Sounds good, triverse.  So, where should folks contact you at if they want to contribute?  The email address you had posted before?    Also, when do you anticipate the model changing on the subscriptions? 

[triverse]

Interested writers can contact me here, at mailto:cwilliams@scenic7pr.com">cwilliams@scenic7pr.com or use the contact form on the site. 

If/when the release schedule changes and magazine size increases, all current subscriptions will be honored to their fulfillment.  This was in discussion when we opened subscriptions, that is why it says a specific number of issues in a subscription.  If someone subscribes now, then we change to bi-monthly next month then the subscription would go for eight full issues rather than "one year".

I hope that explains it well.

We finally got the cover for the second issue completed and it is available at the link below:

http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2014/03/29/retro-gaming-magazine-2-preview-and-cover-reveal/

This issue will feature the following content:

Fan translations we will be featuring in this issue include:

Dynamite Headdy (Sega Genesis)
Front Mission (Super Nintendo)
Lady Sword (Turbo Grafx-16)
Metal Gear 1 & 2 (MSX)
Royal Stone (Sega Game Gear)
Sweet Home (Nintendo NES)

Digital Comics to be featured:
Akira (Nintendo NES)
Bubblegum Crash (Turbo Grafx-16)
Jesus (Nintendo NES)
Policenauts (Sony Playstation)
Radical Dreamers (Super Nintendo)
Snatcher (MSX2)

There will also be more content to finish out the page count for this issue.  One thing will be the contents page (!).  This issue features a wrap around cover similar to the first issue, the back page features Random, from Snatcher, looking mischievous.

Pre-order options are available at the bottom of the article.  The issue is due to be released in mid-April.

I do want to mention, anyone ordering a subscription can let us know what issue they wish to have it started on, either issue #1 or #2.  This is our way of saying thanks for the support and helping fans save on back issue prices.  We will probably continue this on till about issue #4 or #5 at which time we will limit the options for starting a subscription.

Great news!  Looking forward to this issue. Actually, I need to order my subscription!

How is that game a fan translation?

Good eye.  You will like that article then.  We are picking off the wall, not your usual RPG's, type games.  Pulseman was another option but there was so little to translate it was kind of pointless to feature it.  Dynamite Headdy, there was A LOT missing in the North American version.

[TL]

Was there? Never knew that! I have the PAL version!

I keep meaning to speak with you actually but keep forgetting, I have some stuff that might interest you.

There was a whole story cut out of the versions not released in Japan.  This is one of those games that I think people will enjoy finding out new information about.  It is definitely eye catching on the cover.

Just ordered issue #2, cover looks great

Did you get my PM?

[triverse]

Yes, I need to reply and discuss it some more.  I think it would be great to have that type of stuff in the mag.

An update to let everyone know that we will be running an interview with the man responsible for Policenauts (PSOne) and many versions of Snatcher being available in English in the second issue.  This will complement the other content (fan translations and digital comics) quite nicely.

Nice stuff!
