I thought it would've lasted a little longer than that .... oh well.

Yeah, this is sort of unrelated .... but they did have some decent Neo coverage.

Obvious to anyone who is familiar with similar attempts. I wonder if anyone will get refunds for lost issues.

Yeah, we did. They sent refunds through Paypal about a week or so ago. I really would've rather had the issues, but at least they're stand up guys.

What the hell happened to them? I really wanted to read their magazine, too.

They went under right after the second issue :oh_no: :crying:

They gave away free issues toward the end .... but that was just a last desperate attempt at garnering some capital, I guess. Very sad.

That's really sad if you ask me, Galford. :( Too bad they couldn't publish the magazine on a tri-monthly basis.

WTF, man. How do people get away with that shit?

P.S. I'm starting my own retro mag soon - and I only offer 5 year subscriptions at 100 bucks each. PM me for details ;).

I just got my two "refund issues" in the mail today.

Thats cool that they would refund your money and give you the mags.

Gamefan never did that. :rolleyes:

GameGo! had no capital and no money. They didn't rip anyone off. The problem was that they thought that they could tap into a market that wsn't really there. They also put Stretch Panic on the cover, which was a suck-o game, even if it was made by Treasure.

I was not surprised by this news. I felt that the magazine would have little chance for success.

That sucks really bad. A mag that is actually good going down so bad. Then you got stupid ones with a couple of screenshots selling millions.

This a bullshit lie!
