FORT90ZINE #3 Approaches

Less than a month from now you'll be able to read the latest issue of FORT90ZINE, the publication that helped spark the videogame zine renaissance currently in effect. Matt Hawkins, Attract Mode's recent +1, is the man behind the mag, and this issue looks BOMPIN'. It contains contributions from Tiny Cartridge all-star Eric Caoili, Brian Liloia, Hilary Florido, and Mariel Cartwright aka kinuko. That's Mariel's wrap-around cover design above, minus all the text and the transparent stripe.

Now that you are frothing with anticipation, head over to the shop and pick up FORT90ZINE Issue 1 and Issue 2. They are just as relevant now as they were the day they were printed.

Simon Parkin Writes About Games

On the floor next to the chair lay a crumpled dress. It was pink with a rustling skirt, peach buttons and a ribbed bodice. There was a hollow in the centre of the bust, the hole left by a plucked jewel.

— Simon Parkin, “In Another Castle”

Simon Parkin is one of my favorite games writers. His articles are consistently engaging and explore unique areas of videogame culture. If you aren’t already reading his column Chewing Pixels, the most recent entry, quoted above, is a great place to start.
