Can you refer me to past E-zines to give me an idea of it's content?
I'm guessing either would be fine, but you'd probably be better served aiming it at the peeps that have never experienced Vectrex.

1982 game console with built in x/y vector monitor - all (B&W) vector graphics, (like Asteroids). Each game had a unique screen overlay - a transparent plastic color screen printed card that tinted the vectors. Pretty nice 4 button controller with analog joystick. 3D glasses peripheral, (now extremely rare). Light pen peripheral. VERY IMPRESSIVE HOME BREW SCENE.

I can contribute information on simple translating of NES/Gameboy games.

I can also contribute information on Virtual Boy basic hacking or development. Though, I'd recommend talking to BigMak, Thunder, mindstorm or any other major players from Virtual Boy Planet.

I always thought it would be cool to do a "Greatest finds" article. I am talking about finding Protos or a Gold NWC in the wild. Where it was found, what you paid, how often you look, etc... The only problem, I suck at writing.

The Ezine is not exactly the New York Times. If you can run a spell check your pretty much good, and I forget to do that sometimes. You don't have to be an author to write an article for it.

Sent the CD interview just now.

And now a little clue on who it might be!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
He's challenging dragons
With baby blue.

I was meaning it doesn't have to be a review about the gameplay but that you could write about the music, artwork or whatever else you could think of.
