VrE Online
Many years ago I was part of a group that was really bleeding edge for a lot of things.. In ’94 we spun off a game magazine called VrE Online.. For about 2 and a half years we published reviews on games and hardware on BBS’, electronically on floppy, and eventually on the internet.. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about a lot of things, especially game companies pulling advertising when you pan their games..
Since I’m starting this site all over from scratch I’ve decided to pull the archive of VrE Online out of the crate and put it back up, warts and all.. I haven’t bothered to fix anything except for a few show stopping URL issues.. I also put together a quick and ugly page with a complete list of all of the downloadable version I could find.. If you are interested in seeing where we started in the very early days of the web, the last update was in 1996, check it out over here at vreonline.feydakin.com..
I also need to thank a few of the people that really were a huge part in making the magazine happen.. Louis Stice, Andy Hardison, Jeff Godemann and Craig Crowder were there through some pretty hard times and made all of it bearable.. Thanks guys..
Nice to see VrE back…Found a few sites referencing articles we wrote back in 93 and 94. Wish we still were doing it. Maybe…
Those were the days. Toiling over crap to find the few gems that were really worth playing. And by the time you did get to play one of the greats, you were probably “played out.” That is, it was hard to find the “fun.” It *was* fun, however, to come up with new ways to say, “this sucks!”
