Seconded. Larger text please. Also because often, when there is white font on a black background (or blue font on a black background... issue 185... aaaargh!!!), also due to the low quality of the paper, the letters get 'smeared' and the text becomes 'pixelated' and almost unreadable. I am sure it i...

There is balance in the world. Now that I have moved to the UK I was thinking to be safe from the delivery delays. But, after an initial happy period of 3 months roughly, and just in time for my renewal in May, the following started to happen: - the June issue (182) was late and checking my account ...

I would enjoy a page of various puzzles. What about a 'spot the difference', comparing two screenshot with slight variations (e.g. sprites missing or different). The 'screenshots' can also be not real screenshots, but just made up for the game. Also, 'spot the intruder', where among a crowd of a cer...

Incredible! It is a MIRACLE! Issue 180 arrived TODAY!!! oh... ok, I am in the UK now. By the way, until last weekend (april 15th) still no sign f issue 179 at home in Italy. As for the side-topic about paper vs electronic RG, I need paper. If it was electronic, I might buy it, but I won't probably r...

Nice contents! At least I manged to get a copy earlier than usual (see 'tracking overseas lateness thread') by buying it directly in UK. Speaking of complaints, could anyone confirm if he also has the bbc arcade clones' screenshots in upper pages 40 and 41 and in bottom page 43 covered with a square...

Hi all, long time no see. Just adding my feedback to this thread. Since the move to Future, I have been plagued with delivery problems as well as all the other retro-oversea'rs. I am in Italy and delivery times have been between one and two months, 6-7 weeks on average. Also, as many others I had th...

Hi all! long time no see! I would like to ask for advice. I am making wiith some friends a vertical scrolling 2D running game for smartphones/tablets (for the moment) with a 'retro' taste. I would like to go for pixel art, since it's the way I imagined the game from the beginning. My friends friends...

Excuse me... has anyone seen my jaw? I think it should have dropped near the bottom of the Marianas Trench... thanks!

Gongratulations!

I look forward to look the pictures in the Collector's Corner, yo!

Thinking of going there...


(Yes, I am still alive... ^^)

I am 40y and a half now...
I know I am about 7 months late, but... THANK YOU!

Hi everybody! Long time no see! I haven't disappeared yet, despite it might seem so. I would like to join you in Blackpool next October (like the old times!), but I have some friends coming to Italy from Japan the very same weekend. No, they are not interested in games, unfortunately; otherwise I wo...

I am really glad to hear that so many people liked my ColecoVision Minority Report! :D I had a great time compiling it as I pretty much spent an entire week playing ColecoVision games to try and uncover some gems that people might not have played before. The system really does have a fantastic libr...

Ciao Marko! I really regret not having been able to join PlayExpo this year. I was too busy. I missed it so much! News came of an event back at Blackpool, later next year... that might be a nice rentrée! Hey Lorenzo! Nice to see you back on here :D Shame about the mag being a few pages short though!...

Hello, long time no see. my subscription issue was delivered at home a week or so ago, but I could only collect it recently because I was away for work. When I finally took the envelope in my hands, I teared it open and took out the magazine. It felt suspiciously light and thin, but it looked like t...

Hi, i don't know if that's the right place, but I think this should be interesting. It's Tommy Tallarico's project for his volume 3 of Video Games Live. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1916334303/video-games-live-level-3-game-composers-of-the-wor/posts/593561 I attended a Video Games Live show i...
