I wanted to announce that Scott (Pats1717) has contacted me and offered up his time to rekindle the now-defunct e-zine. I want to thank you Scott for doing this as I know the 'zine has been sorely missed over the last few months. 

Cool, I'll do some brainstorming

Finally, I can get my 2 penis pics and a reacharound!

w00t! Way to go Scott! Sent my review over to the email provided.

I would love to see an article about being at the Classic Tetris World Championship Or anything by Chris Tang!

Right on.

i volunteer for a screenshot caption contest- a month before we post a screenshot from a NES game, members submit a caption, top 3-5 are put in next months zine.

Awesome.

^ I second the screenshot caption contest idea.

Any interest in maybe a puzzle? Like crossword or wordsearch? I wouldn't mind doing that.
I don't mind doing anything else to contribute either.
Though despite my art icon I'm really not a big artist. (Everything I've done has been in Paint, including my avatar.)

I've already expressed my interest in continuing the layout, so that's still covered! Hooray more eZines!

I would like see some articles about the history of a game or interview of some of the member on this site.

I would second that, the history is what always pulls me in.

Good news! I've always liked the featured member section, so I'd like to see more of those.

I can also help out if you have any artwork needs, let me know.

Member Spotlight is one of my favorite sections of the eZine. It would be nice to have it as a regular column again

Excellent news all around, can't wait for the new run! :-)

I hope this time around each issue of the e-zine can be a bit longer. I always want to read more! Everything suggested so far sounds great, I am very excited for this.

Sweet been wondering what was going on with the EZine. Did anyone ever review the retrousb repro of splatterhouse? If not im in the process of writing one for fun, deff would be willing to let ya read it and see what ya think.

April Fools? Whew, had to double check the date there.

Glad to see it return, and it's about time!

Biggest thing is the editor should actively contact (and pester) people for articles, not just wait for them. Talk to people who have written before. Suggest ideas for people who say they are interested but have no ideas.

I would like to see:
More reviews of obscure games in the NES library.
Lots more screenshots/maps in reviews, see Nintendo Power articles.
More NA stats, like monthly traffic.
Expand into Nintendo consoles other than NES for those of us who don't know about the others.
Price guide and comics should be always there.
QA interviews with homebrewers, repro makers, resellers, etc.
Stats/leaderboard from the gaming contests.
Any new product (homebrew, repro, etc) sold here should have an article about either history/review/construction.
Any time a game is mentioned, have it be a clickable link back to the database.
Same with articles, title should be a clickable link to the discussion forum topic.

I think it would be neat to include a lot of hybrid's hard work and have a section codes/cheats for homebrews, kind of like the old "classified information"

Hybrid's game genie codes would be an awesome addition.  Especially with more new games coming out (ya'll looking forward to the nesdev competition homebrews yet? You won't be disappointed!)

Id like to create a accessories price guide for the ezine. But will need some help since I'm always hearing about different accessories I never knew existed ( Like that Hot seat someone posted a few weeks back ).

I already have Burdger (Thanks man) working on one of these for the next issue.



I like a lot of these ideas, and I will stay on everyone! I hope you read pm's


Sounds good too, Hybrid if you see this pm me. If not I will pm you soon.



I am excited for this opportunity and we keep reading this thread for ideas.

i'm always down to write an article or two on perler beads and different things you can do with them (nes related of course). just hit me up if youre short an article.

more information about SNES games would be neat. Also an SNES price guide maybe? Or maybe a CIB price guide. i ono... jsut some thoughts

Lets put some of the SNES CIB rarity stories (i.e Three Ninja's) in the ezine. Those have been some of the more interesting reads for me on the board lately. I would be down to write up a SNES game review sometime this summer of an obscure game, or maybe even a hack or translation.

It would also be cool to see more finders keepers stories in the ezine.
