Legacy Project

Hey there!

I had an idea of doing a sort of legacy forum magazine. I know we have some great writers around here. I'd do the layout and anyone that wanted to could submit articles for it. You know things like retro reviews, why you liked (or didnt like) certain games, etc. Basically anything you wanted to write about retro era gaming would be great. Was wondering if any of you guys would be interested. It would be like a monthly thing.

Ive written some reviews, game comparisons, etc, feel free to use those.

if you needs more reviews, just ask

not a bad idea actually,

also someone needs to sticky the list of places to buy retro games , maybe put it here?

Great idea! I've only written a handful of game reviews, but this could motivate me to write some more.

Sounds interesting, would legacy cover up to PS2/XB/GC era?

Interesting, I might try writing for it :D

Sounds like a good idea. I haven't wrote many legacy reviews mainly because I never think they're going to get read. But this sounds interesting.

Awesome! This sounds like a great idea and it should liven things up around here.AcidSoldner

I second this.

This sounds like a neat idea. Hopefully it will bring more activity to this forum. I'd certainly contribute.

now the only question is , how do you organise such a thing.

For names...

Undying Legends

A Legacy of Awesome

Semper Fidelis (Latin for 'never forget')

Looking Back

Allicrombie, I was thinking about doing a blog thing where I write about older games, how well they've aged etc so this would be perfect to do!

here is one

"Legacy Boards Magazine : Read it or play Superman 64

(funny pictures of people doing stupid things included) "

if thats not a good name and hook , I don't know what is :P

Love it! I'd like to contribute whenever possible:) as for the name of the magazine I'll have to think on that one for a bit ... ... ... ... Legacy Gaming Monthly (after my favorite magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly):P okay thinking some more ... ... ... ... Legacy Unlimited? L' Icons? Retro Fiesta? Legacy Bits 'n Bytes Monthly? maybe some of these will get something going (though I doubt it) :lol:

Retro Fiesta? haha I like that.Allicrombie

:lol: :P Whenver I think of the old-school I think of thefun and good times I had-much like a fiesta!;) plus, everyone talks about old-school and retro games A LOT(and why not? they're timeless cl*ssics) so it's really the party that never ends.:D

EDIT: It's "Whenever" and not "Whenver" (sigh-there's going to be an editor for this magazine right?) lol:P

After a bit of quick thinking, I came up with these names: Legacy Legends Old Gen Blend Gaming Gurus Games We Remember And I'll edit this if I can come up with any more. :)michaelP4

I like "Old Gen Blend"!:)

replace the"Folgers" and we havethe new jingle: "The best part of wakin' up is Old Gen Blend in your cup":P (okay now I'm just being silly and I don't think we could get past the TM lol).

or we could have one of those "Est." signs to keep the old-school feel to it.

Old Gen Blend

Est 1967

with a gamer's crest of some sort.

I Love Old Games..

Why not just call it "Retro Spot"?

@Darkman2007: Well I was messing around in InDesign recently and got kind of a nice layout going, we'd just need articles. We'd also need a catchy name.Allicrombie

I'd read it, for sure. But I'm afraid to write for it. I know anything I happened to make a mistake on would be picked apart by some of these guys.

If this is through Gamespot, then maybe some of the retro game reviews could become official reviews on the site. Many older games are lacking official reviews and scores on this site, and sorely need it.

Sounds like a great idea!

For possible names I got Retro Reboot, Retro Refresh, and Vintage Vault.

Like one of the above users mentioned, RetroSpot sounds best :D

I'd be interested in writing articles as I'm actually playing older games :)

RetroSpot is great, I think. Otherwise go w/ something extremely overwrought and pretentious like Gaming Legends. I have had this idea to start up a blog in which I review all manner of horrid Gameboy shovelware purchased of eBay in lots. Maybe I could do something like that in such a magazine... and people would actually read it.

This sounds like a cool idea.

Interesting...there are lots of games out there for the legacy systems...This should be fun...I want to help, but I have a tendency to use a lot of ellipses. (I don't know why I just use them) and plus I have a pretty short leash on time.

I would love to tell us how to do it

This is a great idea! I am very interested in contributing interesting articles and interview peices relating to legacy gaming.

For more name ideas:Legacy GamingMagazine -Bequest Magazine - (Bequest is an synonym for legacy or heritage - and it sounds "video-gamey")

This is a great idea. I will definitely contribute. I've written articles for a video game site a long time ago, and I've written many user reviews for GameSpot. I like to write, so writing for a forum mag would be perfect. :)

I'll support it. I'm also interested in doing some legacy games reviews if you're still accepting positions. I own a somewhat extensive legacy collection for N64 and Genesis, as well have played a great multitude of games for everything from the Atari all the way up to Xbox. I'd like to stick to Nintendo games though.
