A while ago you may recall that I posted an enigmatic call for writers to assist in some-project or other, without saying exactly what.
Now I can tell you what that project was: PTD Magazine’s latest issue is devoted to retrogaming, edited by your humble narrator. You can download the digest version here, or subscribe to PTD for a mere 99 cents per issue to read the rest.
If I do say so myself: it’s awesome. In addition to making lots of complaints about how game writing is hidebound and formulaic, I also hear other people making those complaints too. Here’s an attempt to break out of the mold.

I changed my mind!
We post selections from each print issue online, although minus the spiffy graphics. They will be hitting the site in a few weeks time.
The PDF digest is usually around 2-3Mb, which we compress as much as the artwork in each issue will let us without looking crappy. This issue was 5Mb as we wanted to retain as much image fidelity as possible for the artwork. I think it came out great.
