JAMPACK'd Issue #1 (Summer 2026)

Gaming magazines are back.

JAMPACK'd Issue #1: Summer 2026 is the debut issue of an independent, human-made gaming magazine created for people who miss having something real to flip through, discover, collect, and keep on the shelf.

Rather than chasing only the latest AAA releases and online trends, JAMPACK'd celebrates gaming across generations. Inside you'll find reviews of both recent releases and older games you may have missed, evergreen gaming coverage, budget-gaming tips, new game recommendations, guides, and plenty of genuine enthusiasm for the hobby.

Issue #1 also features the Summer Gaming Challenge, inviting readers to play games across five different categories and write about their experiences.

Inside Issue #1:

• 64+ pages of gaming content
• Reviews covering new and older games
• Independent and overlooked game discoveries
• Evergreen gaming news and features
• Budget gaming tips
• Game recommendations
• Game ripping guides and other useful gaming knowledge
• Summer Gaming Challenge featuring five categories

Independent. Physical. Human-Made.

JAMPACK'd is created without AI and built around independent games writing, thoughtful coverage, and a love of physical media. Issue #1 features writing from Adam / EposVox / lostsaves, with contributions from Will (Backing Track), Claire Lewis, and BBK Dragoon.

Whether you grew up waiting for the next issue of your favorite gaming magazine or you're discovering the joy of print gaming media for the first time, JAMPACK'd Issue #1 is made to be read, revisited, and kept.
