1-Up is an indie "mega" zine published by video game lifestyle enthusiast Raina Lee. Each issue is chock full of intriguing articles about all aspect of video gaming including critique of video game culture such as "the military-entertainment industry complex" and "gaming from a minority perspective."
1-UP is about how and why we play. It's about video games as a way of life, not just a pastime or private addiction. Stories about triumph and defeat, losing quarters, staying up late, and being invincible. Not your little brother's game mag; no cheats, codes, or centerfolds of virtual vixens. We revel in video games as a cultural experience and as art; blinking lights, blip bloop music, and a million ways to approach "gameplay."
Each issue is quality in both content and presentation. Check out the silkscreened covers designed by John Pham. Issue Four forthcoming in the shop and for those up to the challenge, submission guidelines are here.
