Red:Tro Fusion

I recently got chatting with Chris from the new Retrofusion magazine. Brace yourself for the shameless plug: The new mag is available in Gamestation stores now at a mere £3. Anyway, I've been trying to get BXB's Red:Tro column featured in a magazine for a while now.

Sadly, it was turned down by the Xbox magazines which I thought was a real shame as Rich is a very talented writer and I consider myself rather lucky to have him on the BXB team but Retrofusion are very happy to publish new Red:Tros written by the word wizard that is Richard Worrall.

I got my complementary (sounds much posher than free) copy of Retrofusion this week and it's pretty cool. It's got a lot of the features you'd expect from a Retro mag with articles about Sonic the Hedgehog, Dizzy and a whole bunch of computers I barely remember.



But on top of that they also feature retro articles about TV shows and adverts. The first issue has a look back at The A-Team and the old instant mash Smash adverts which are both a real laugh to read.

Anyway, as I've been working towards landing some freelance work over the last few months I offered my writing services and they were accepted. So, I'm currently working on a nostalgic piece about Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors which is actually turning out to be much more exciting that I initially thought.

Anyway, I'll update the blog with more info on the mag and mine and Rich's features in it. I've also got a big exclusive hidden up my sleeve for BXB which I'll be revealing later in the week.

not seen that mag, but will investigate further - being a fan of the retro scene an' all.

It's a great mag and I can't wait to get my work published in print again!
