EXTENDED PLAY is a fanzine about retro, indie and niche games! It is free, but it needs your Patreon support!

• RETRO: Classic arcade games, 8-bit microcomputer games, old console games and the like!
• INDIE: New games made by small publishers, and a few unorthodox experiments by larger guys!
• NICHE: The edges of the hobby, things of interest to small audiences--or people looking to expand their horizons!

Our second issue is out! Read, share, enjoy, and let us know what you think! We really worked hard to nail that old enthusiast's magazine look.

In the future (depending on how successful we are) we would like to accept submissions & pay contributors. Please stay tuned if you are interested!

Extended Play's planned schedule is to be published via PDF four times a year. Each issue has over 30 ad-free, full color pages. If you like these issues, please consider contributing to our Patreon.

All Patreon contributors will get early access to the next issue and will be able to suggest ideas for articles. You can also buy print copies, whether a patron or not: Extended Play is colorful and full of fun images, and should be perfect for adorning coffee tables of many sizes.
