The next batch of magazines have gone out the door. Here’s an old poodle doing a bleep next to mail ready copies of Forgotten Worlds 7 and 8. The next (final) batch will be sent this coming week… 😊
A new bit about Mega Play, Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), SEO and the content economy… 👉 www.forgottenworlds.net/blog/mega-pl...

This was such a weld era for Nintendo. The brilliance of Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time kinda obscures the dumpster fire that was their hardware division in the second half of the 90s.
If this had released as planned it could have been great. Nintendo really struggled with hardware in the second half of the 90s 🤷🏻♂️
Nintendo 64DD print ad.
Announced in 1995, released in 1999. It was supposed to expand the system’s storage capacity and connect to the internet. Sales were dire and only 10 titles were released…

Same. All sorted. 😊
You’re welcome. Great to see so many different zines out there ☺️

Yeah, I’ll take UN Squadron over Super EDF any day.
I know, right. Sometimes I’d spring for the air freight editions when I was feeling rich.
The 24/7 news cycle is turning our brains to moosh.
Damn right. We’d read those 300 page magazines cover to cover. And then circle back.
Back when video game news would arrive once a month…

I managed to beat this one as a kid. But only with the help of magazine guides.
Same man, same.
What happened to Hyper magazine?
I spoke to former editor Daniel Wilks about the final, desperate days of Australia’s longest running video game magazine.

I’ve been thinking about reprinting a small batch of these. I might give them away free with the next proper issue of Forgotten Worlds ☺️

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.
A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.
We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?"

Congrats. The Kickstarter is doing numbers. Looking forward to seeing the first issue.

And still some of the best video games ever made.
