New Kickstarter: Mega Visions a new Sega Mag.

[zapiy]

If you’re like me and thousands of other SEGA fans, you probably spent a good portion of your childhood in your bedroom pouring over each and every issue of your favorite SEGA magazine to see what new and upcoming games or systems were on the horizon.

Many of my old magazines still sit inside my closet, and although they’re now wrinkled with age and use over the years, just flipping through a couple pages is enough to bring all those great memories flooding back.

It’s no wonder why video game magazines have such a soft spot in our hearts. They’re like gateways back to our youth … back to simpler times when our biggest worry was whether we wanted to ask our parents for a 32X or maybe wait for the SEGA Saturn.

It’s a damn shame that there aren’t any SEGA-focused magazines around these days. In fact, it’s been a long time since there was one that really did it right.

Today, all that changes, and I’d like to introduce you to something that we’ve been working on behind the scenes here at SEGA Nerds for the better part of a year.

It’s called Mega Visions.

Looks pretty good and only 5 days left with just over $4k to still get.

Again, I don't consider myself as someone who is living below a rock but how have I not heard of this?

I'd seen this and though it was very cool and very professionally made, really some awesome page layouts etc, but..and I hate saying this as it's such a deserving entity that should be realised, but...people want books not magazines, they want coffee books, something that will ask more than a half an hour, now although the guy behind promise to deliver fully multi-media experience within their digital version of the magazine which I think is bleedin' brilliant, magazine runs are more costly than a book is in the term of limited print run, paper type etc. I hope they do get the extra cash, but people threw their money at Retro Magazine twice on Kickstarter and got it made and doesn't look like that will recover after this second money injection has being used, why ? People want more for their money I think any Magazine although can be as enlightening as any book out there just doesn't do it justice in the same way.

I agree with Greyfox. I dont think there is much call for this type of thing.

I didn't read the full listing but did it mention whether professional journalist will be used? If its fan based you can find pretty much anything you're looking for on the web for free. Sites like this one, for example.

Plus its digital.
I can see the appeal of this in a digital age but i would imagine retro nutters wanting something tangible. I would.
