I may be able to contribute to the magazine too. 

I featured the fanzine on last night's show and I've since edited the segment. May I share the link in this thread?

I will feature this fanzine on my Twitch show next Wednesday night at 9pm ET.

I want to take a second to thank everyone again for your kind words and encouragement.  This was made with the community in mind and I'm thrilled that folks seem to be enjoying it.  I also want to note something that might have been missed above in the first comment, and that's this:
If you have an idea for an article or want to contribute to future issues, message me here or send an email to clubvcs@protonmail.com.
This is our fanzine.  We were lucky to have great contributors/collaborators like @Mockduck, @RickR and @Podan for Issue 01.   If you enjoy writing, have a great idea for an article or have a flare for design, consider this an invite.   😉

I'm still reading this magazine, but just had to take a moment to say, "This is really impressive!" Awesome job!!!!

agree 1000000%!

Just fantastic! I'm putting up a Newsline about it here in a few 😉 Thank you Sabertooth! Fantastic A+++ job! Nobody could have done it better bro!

This magazine is incredible!  Obviously a labor of love and a great throwback for lovers of Atari!  Back to the days of flipping magazines to learn about new games, etc.  I haven't read everything and I only just found out about it but I really enjoy it so far!  
I can't wait to finish reading it but thank you so much @Sabertooth and any other contributors for making something so cool.

Thanks to everyone who has taken time to check out the zine! I really appreciate the positive feedback from everyone. The flipbook has over 500 views and only half of those are me. LOL
This is an excellent suggestion @MistaMaddog , and I'd love to include a PC mode article in future issues.
@Tony Waldron - this is a great note to have on the use of "IP." I'll be more mindful to define abbreviations. 😅
 

It took me a while to remember what IP meant as it is written in the magazine, but I finally remembered, 'Intellectual Property'.
Thanks for a great read and I'm looking forward to the next issue.

💯 agree! You could charge for this. Thx!

HUGE thank you @Sabertooth.  This is done so well.  Very professional.  A tremendous effort. 
 
 

Wow, I was hoping to see something like the original Atari Age magazine for the current Atari and now it's here!
I love the layout and the articles published.  Maybe there might be a column for using PC Mode on the VCS which would be a nice call back to the Atari computer days.

Very cool!  Just downloaded it.  At a quick glance, this looks awesome!  Thank you for making this!

Congratulations and best wishes on this venture! I will digest this one slowly, thanks to the tremendous amount of content.

Thanks so much for kind words! It was a lot of fun to put the zine together. Glad to see folks are enjoying it!

Wow! You guys came out the gate very strong with Issue 01. Love the layout, articles and Podan was a great choice for your first Creator Space interview. I'm already looking forward to the next issue. 🙂

Welcome to the Club VCS:  The Atari VCS Fanzine Issue 01!
The Club VCS Fanzine is an extension of the Club VCS subforum here at Atari I/O.  The goal of the fanzine is to highlight some of the cool things going on in the world of the VCS and our little corner of the Atari fan community.  In this zine, you'll find interviews, community member spotlights, reviews, previews, and more! 
So hit the flipbook link to view online or download the PDF here.
A special thanks to @Justin for his encouragement, and @RickR and @Mockduck for their contributions. 
If you have an idea for an article or want to contribute to future issues, message me here or send an email to clubvcs@protonmail.com.
Best,
Sabertooth

@Marco1019 - Thanks so much for including the zine in your show and this highlight segment! I truly appreciate you helping to get the word out! 🙏

Here is the Club VCS Fanzine segment from last night's show. This video has been edited slightly from the original airing; I did share the link in the chat. I apologize in advance for any errors during the segment; I've been juggling personal matters, one of which I talked about at the end of the show.
I can say that the fanzine segment was well-received by the viewers. They pointed out the 1980s style and layout.
Enjoy the segment!
 

@MaximumRD those painting are awesome.  FYI, if you want a "better look", go to the zoom option, right click, to copy the image location and then paste it in a new window.  Once it opens you can drag it to your desktop where you can use CTRL and your mouse wheel to really zoom in on the detail. 🙂
Uploaded images are degraded when uploaded here, but this should give you an idea of how far you can zoom in without pixels becoming visible.

$450.00 for a disk drive!?!  I don't even want to calculate what that would be in today's dollars! 🤑
