Did he do cabinet art too?
Did anyone ever think Q*Bert was not swearing? How did that pass the "family-friendly" bar?

Re: Tracking lateness
Doing its best Father Christmas impression, #201 slid down the mailbox and was found by me today - a quick 26 days since the previous.

Re: Amiga musicians/C64 musicians
The Amiga had a much stronger demoscene where the musicians were big names. Jesper Kyd. Romeo Knight. And so many others I'm forgetting. They got much more memory available for their music and typically sounded that much better. They also didn't have to make something that would need to work togethe...

Re: Retro Gaming Spotlight: Gauntlet
This is an _amazing_ game. In some ways it kinda follows the sandbox style of emergent gameplay; you just plonk down some generators or monsters and throw in a number of obstacles and then it goes on to live its own life. And I was never really happy with the home computer versions (of which I had C...

Re: Retro Gamer - Issue 200
1975: The game was called "Moria" was it not? (EDIT: And I got it wrong myself ironically enough)
1979 November: Atari "400 or 800, the former sports a membrane keyboard" fixed that for you

Re: Tracking lateness
I was able to congratulate #200 yesterday (the 7th) - a perfect 4 weeks since the previous issue. Still tucked in the bag though as my reading pile is pretty well stocked at the moment.

Re: Questions for Barry Leitch
Why can't anyone do Gauntlet 3D properly like on the PS2/Arcade? Would you be in on a new spin on it? (It was Barry who did the original IIRC?)

Re: Retro Gamer - Issue 199
I noticed one of the Gauntlet screenshots credited to the C= 64 seemed much more probable to be for the Atari on reason of the colours in the status field.

Re: Tracking lateness
#199 decided to share the good Word(s) with me yesterday (10th), a paltry 24 days since the previous (carving back some of the slack of a 4-week cycle).

Re: Less known retro computers to discover
The French Thomson(sp?) range of 6809 machines. Uses AFAIK the same gfx chip as the CPC.
I have odd soft spots for the ADAM, Memotech, Enterprise, Atari 7800.

Must be Llamatron. I think I paid for it - I know I paid for several of Jeff's games.

Re: What are you currently playing?
World of Warcraft Classic - starting in the first seconds of the coming Tuesday (CEST). 2300 if you're in Blighty.
World of Warcraft Ascension. Still. Mostly for the mindgame of making the perfect meta; and how many working styles can you make?

Re: Retro Gamer - issue 197
So I did wonder about the screenshots of the Amstrad Super Robin Hood - was the CPC ever that much pastel flavoured?
Did the magazine just change layout style? I thought the retail front page reminded me of something from years back, as was some new in-mag layout styles.

Re: Tracking lateness
#197 popped when polling my mailbox on Friday (16th), which should be 28 days after my previous (utterly logical). As of lately my sub copy has been around 9 days ahead my newsagent.
