editGameZero coverage
editHi BcRIPster, I feel bad that nobody has answered you at WP:VG/RS. I've been quite busy myself and I don't think there's consensus sufficient for including the magazine in the RS section yet, but your suggestion has given me the idea to go through and make a proper research of the older magazines I have with an eye toward determining which of the oldest online sources were notable and reliable back in the 90s and early 2000s. As I said in talk at VG/RS, I know there is coverage of old internet websites and hopefully it should produce some interesting topics to expand the video game journalism article. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I anticipate this project will take me quite a while but I'll be keeping an eye out for mentions of Game Zero and I'll let you know if I run across anything in print. -Thibbs (talk) 01:30, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
I know a lot of older paper magazines around the dawn of the internet liked to have a 1-2 page section covering what was "hot" online

Howdy
editGreetings, BcRIPster! I've been here forever, and have seen your fingerprints here and there, but this is the first time I've taken time to read your userpage; wow, we have a lot in common. I was born one year off from you and have also been involved in the video game industry for a great deal of my career. But, unlike you, I was a game programmer. And, hey, my timezone is also GMT-7! Nice to see there are some other Wikipedians who cut their teeth on video games when they were still in their infancy (the games, not us). Anyhow, nice to see you around! — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 18:32, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Frεcklεfσσt! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I've seen you around as well... you're quite the prolific editor. :) Unfortunately I never seem to have the time to be as active as I would like so I tend to only gravitate around a handful of pages where I feel that I can help make the best contribution with my time and perspective. But it's all good. Thanks again and cheers! BcRIPster (talk) 20:32, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Game Zero
editHi BcRIPster, I have been thinking about what you said back in January of last year, and I wondered if you were aware of Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites/Early web history task force. Sadly the group seems to have gone defunct, but you might be able to contact some of the (former) participants still there to help you locate coverage of Game Zero that would allow it to be documented as part of the early history of the web. I am chronically short of time these days, but I still do intend to make an exhaustive search of the physical paper-based gaming magazines to see if I can find anything, and I'll definitely let you know if I find coverage. -Thibbs (talk) 13:50, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
