fr First issue of Player Spirit magazine is available now

First issue of Player Spirit magazine is available nowAttention, this is about a magazine written in French language. We all remember the time when we flipped through thick glossy magazines to discover the latest video games. It was the time of independent video game press with objective reviews that sometimes hurt the publishers; the time of French magazines Tilt, Consoles +, Joypad, Joystick, Gen4 and Player One. Of course we also read these magazines for the freedom of tone and their lighthearted and often irreverent articles. There were also exclusive reports revealing what was happening behind the scenes of the industry at a time when the internet did not exist (ah those reports in Japan!). In console magazines, there were always some pages that made us dream with games sporting splendid graphics never seen before and the promise of new sensations; these were the few pages dedicated to new arcade games! All this has been overshadowed over time by websites... But the good vibe is back with Player Spirit! A magazine devoted to video games of the last century. Created by Mathieu Manent (author of the Nintendo 64 and GameCube anthologies), Player Spirit brings together the dream team of the writers of that era with AHL, J'm Destroy, Matt Murdock and Ze Killer among others! Although devoted primarily to console and computer games, the first issue features several pages about the war between Sega and Namco in the arcades (a war that still continues today). A new issue is planned every two months. Each number costs €12.00. The first issue of 144 pages is available exclusively on the website of publisher Geeks Line (there are also several subscription formulas including one containing the SaturdayMan NES game cartridge). Have a good reading!
