(Done) Missing Magazine: NewType Gaming

**VGBounceHouse** · October 31, 2015

Howdy!

Here's a fun one lol

NewType Gaming is obviously related to NewType magazine but I really couldn't find any info on it. The issues I was able to get from eBay weren't helpful in terms of documenting the run but here's what I've been able to piece together:

Published bi-monthly as indicated in the copyright notice
Volumes represent the years, number the issue. No way of knowing if they strictly adhered to corresponding months as there is no month indicator.
Beginning with Volume 1, Number 4 the year appears on the cover as part of a circle encompassing the volume and issue number.
Volume 2, Number 2 is the only one with a copyright year in the small print. It indicates 1994 despite the cover reflecting 1995. As it is the second issue of the volume there's the question of whether this is a misprint or the front year indicator is staggered. This is what makes assigning months difficult.
I have no idea when the magazine ceased printing as simple web searches rarely dredge this magazine up.
It is a slick publication on heavy stock with a lot of original artwork. There is very little advertising. Each issue has different dimensions, close to each other, but obviously different. Two of the four I have would not fit in my 11x17 scanner flatbed without extending slightly outside horizontally once unbound.

Here are the four I have on hand:

Volume 1, Number 3

Volume 1, Number 4

Volume 1, Number 5

Volume 2, Number 2

This one's gonna be tough to archive given the number of fold-outs present in each issue.

I remember this magazine. It didn't last very long but was memorable for being large format like Newtyoe USA. I want to say it didn't last beyond the dot com bubble collapse of 99. But I'm not 109 percent.
