We've been fans of the "new age" video game fanzine Forgotten Worlds ever since its inception, and we're pleased to report that its fourth issue is shaping up to be very special indeed.
Currently on Kickstarter, Forgotten Worlds #4 "takes a deep dive into five classic magazines from the golden era of print" by speaking exclusively to some of the most famous names of '90s video game journalism, including Julian 'Jaz' Rignall (Mean Machines, CVG), Richard Leadbetter (CVG, Maximum), Wil Overton (Super Play) and Dan 'Shoe' Hsu (EGM).
Running at 100 pages printed in full colour, this latest issue of Forgotten Worlds needs a very modest $7,000 AUS to enter production, so if it sounds like it's up your street, head over to Kickstarter to give it some support.

Yeah, CVG, Mean Machines and Super Play most definitely need to be on any such list.
I ended up backing this. I was a maaaaasssiive Hyper reader back in the day, being Aussie and all, and an occasional Mean Machines, Gamepro and EGM one.
I never read CVG back in the day, I'm not sure we got it at all here. I could be wrong, but I am sure I would have picked up at least an issue had it been available
Thanks all, Mikolai from Forgotten Worlds here. Genuinely appreciate the support. We’ve just hit the 50% market and have unlocked new reward tiers - including the full back catalogue of magazines.
@AJB83 We definitely did, lots of UK magazines made it to Australia. First they were shipped by sea so they were a few months behind but later on they started releasing ones via air freight at a slightly higher price. The thing was though that they put an air freight sticker on the front of them that was impossible to get off.
I wonder why GamesMaster always gets ignored. It would be interesting to cover since it had some a variable history when it came to quality. The last nine years of the mag really weren't very good.
@Didz yeah, those air freight editions were highly sought after (and expensive). The alternative was waiting 3 months for steamboat shipping.
