How was Atarisoft handling the conversions? Just chucking around the name to random developers, or did they have access to sources and original material? Were they independent of the US namesake or was there some co-ordination/co-operation? Was there any code sharing between the different ports? Who...

I myself want to hear more about the 7800 that they did. Was the use of a linebuffer established practise already, or did they come up with it? With 20/20 it is glaringly obvious to me that the Amiga should have used a design like that as it would have enabled the disconnect between the image buildu...

They use paper that I think can't take the ink too well - it gets too saturated by it and becomes more or less "wet". The result is that you get a warping effect to it.

I had a bit of a mail day yesterday with #212 and an issue of EDGE among several other things. I think I will have to schedule reading time during Christmas this year to reduce my backlog.

Sorting through my 4 months of unreads I noticed that I got EDGE #345 as a very late arrival. That concludes my EDGE deliveries.
Also: My local newsagent has #212 already. Hurry up...

Just came home to find #211 waiting for me. My backlog just got that much worse!

The good: #206 and #210 arrived today! (And another EDGE too. 346-349)

I've not been home for 7 weeks

Took me 9 in the end.
The score is now 207+209 and three issues of EDGE.

No sight of 206+207

I've not been home for 7 weeks, but I got a pic of all my mail today and there hasn't been anything delivered from Future during that period...

Editionally: I couldn't avoid noticing the RG web page proudly declare "RETRO GAMER 206 IS ON SALE NOW".
