Neural Neutralizer started off as a Star Trek Klingon-focused RPG club zine.
There were numerous issues, and it was published in the 1990s.
It was a monthly publication.
In May 1991, it appears the zine lost its RPG focus and became a frenetic collection of clippings, reviews, statements, and chaos.
Issue 17 N.1

SHAKE IT 'TIL IT FALLS APART is not just a great old song by Echo and the Bunnymen. It's our motto here at The NN. We like to snatch you bald-headed! Remember the immortal words of old earther privateer Long John Silver: "Them That Dies'll Be The Lucky Ones!" We strive to make each issue a Toot. Can you make readers Gasp! and peep through their fingers? Do people say "Can you believe they said that?," when reading your articles? Send in your submissions to The NN and make us drool, (more than usual) Put your tongue firmly in cheek, your humor solidly in the black, and participate in this PirateZine. Hoist the Black Flag and Neutralize some Neurons. The NN is not going to contain the same old stuffy twaddle seen elsewhere. We don't want members with good taste, we want members who taste good!
FASTER THAN LIGHT NETWORK? Savory insanity from around fandom. Eclectic Grok-a-Billy. Friends of Roaring Sounds in Space meet the Dr. Science Fan Club. Sampler Platter at Red Lobster. Those Weird Grab Bags at the Blind Thrift Store, (who fills those anyway?) Pushing all the buttons at once on the soda machine. All the flotsam and jetsam of the fandom mythoi smashed together with a Hillbilly twist. (my paternal Dutch ancestors were criminals escaping to New Amsterdam, my maternal Ozark kith and kin are the Strange family clan. My great-great grandmother was a blind Cherokee Princess who rode bareback in a Circus. Honest!) Honoring and listening to your fellow fen even when violently opposed. Expanding Your Consciousness.
