I've not received the last 2 issues after having no subs issues for years. WTF? New UK supplier?

Are you going to any retro games shows (e.g. Revival)? If so you could arrange drop off with the buyer there to save both a chunk of cash

I'm thinking about it as no longer have space for 200+ RG mags...

Second Reality by Future Crew was the DOS demo that set a new benchmark for PC demos in the early 90s. Put the PC on the map vs the Amiga.






There's also a C64 version

David Pleasance seems like an interesting guy, but definitely is the 1980s throwback of brash businessman, "yuppie", bragging about his successes (often individual success) and blaming failures on others.

Anyway I wish they had figured out how to get 256...

I assume the iTunes / Google play downloads are protected and thus can't be viewed on a PC?

Thanks for your help guys.

I think a while ago I saw DVDs on eBay that covered up to RG 120. Hmm, perhaps they weren't legit...

It's a shame a magazine that knows all about collecting and that online services perhaps won't last forever, no longer offer physical digital copies, i.e. DVDs

I've been reading and collecting Retro Gamer since issue 40, however, I'm running out of space to store them!

Wish him all the best, as he was a top guy @ Revival 2014.

So this is why he's moved to Ireland...
