Golden Age magazine Kickstarter is Live!

A brand new deluxe mag about last-century gaming.

Also includes some stupidly expensive but cool and unique rewards to hopefully get us funded.

Check out the 38-page Issue 0 PDF and Kickstarter campaign here:

40 years ago, Imagine was advertising this pair of coin-op ports with some absolutely fabulous marketing images. The games themselves were fairly good, but I think this artwork is out of this world. Top-drawer stuff.

Golden Age magazine is just over 50% funded!

Thanks a ton to everyone who's pledged so far. Hopefully we can keep things moving and get this sucka funded!

Also, sorry for putting this into your head. Good luck getting it out for the rest of the day...

These reviews are from CVG issue 1, which celebrates its 45th anniversary this month. And boy were they bare bones. Scores? Nah. Screenshots? Naaaah. Easy to read headlines and info? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Walls of text and wobbly drawings? Yoooou betcha!

40 years ago, the price of Amstrad PCs were raised to today's equivalent of £1,645 for a monochrome system and four effing grand for a color machine with a 20 Mb hard drive. Egads! Meanwhile Tandy's PC was suffering compatibility issues and Beyond software was pretty much cooked.
