doner24 | 1,195 Moderator · Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Got this a few years back and figured I would finally share it. This is New Ground, a fanzine from the early 90’s about Neo Geo made by none other than Tom Fulp, creator of Newgrounds and The Behemoth game publishers/developers (Alien Hominoid, Castle Crashers). This Wiki claims there were 100 subscribers by mail of the magazine back in the day. It contains game reviews, strategies and news. Enjoy! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newgrounds 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acromite53 | 337 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 That is amazing! Love seeing this kind of stuff. Really cool to see what fans were thinking and hoping for as the system was still being supported. Could you imagine Atari Games or EA as Neo Geo developers? I want to see this guy's Neo Geo Collection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Wow, that’s a piece of Internet & Gaming history right there! I never even knew “Newgrounds” started out like that. No joke, might be one of the most interesting things I’ve seen in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 For the 10 of us paper collectors out there this is amazing. For everyone else they'll never even know it existed. Nice grab! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,403 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Wow, had no idea Newgrounds started as a Neo Geo fanzine. Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokiriChild | 1,644 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Wow, that's not just gaming history, its significant internet history. Newgrounds pre-dated YouTube by nearly a decade. Super cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalloonFight | 6 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 This is amazing. I never would have guessed a Neo Geo fanzine / newsletter this was the origin of Newgrounds. Thanks for sharing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
