Julian "Jaz" Rignall has been the driving force behind some truly legendary video game publications, including C&VG, Mean Machines, MegaTech and more – and he's now revealed that he aims to create a new magazine in the near future, as was previously hinted at.
Rignall has shared a concept cover for a new physical magazine called 'Golden Age', which covers the consoles, computers and coin-ops of the 20th century.
According to the games media icon, the magazine will cover "old games/events/systems" in a similar way to his recent book, The Games of a Lifetime.
The aim is to release a 52-page publication six times a year in A5 format. The target price would be £10 per issue, and it would only be available via subscription.
Rignall doesn't have anything set in stone as yet, but a March 2026 Kickstarter campaign is possible, should he proceed.
Rignall explains that the magazine wouldn't try to "recreate something from the past, but instead take you back there. Nostalgic retrospectives about games/systems. Revisiting old reviews. Anecdotes about events and behind-the-scenes happenings. Fascinating. Entertaining. Funny. Definitely not academic!"
