Sounds like the end of Mikie

So, does the copy of this at retail include the Nintendo guide? Or was it a subscriber only bonus, and if so, is it worth contacting customer service if I didn't receive it? Or is it like most things for subscribers, once you miss out, there is zero chance to get it from Future, and must now try to...

Thanks jdanddiet for the heads up about Neon Knights arcade in Leigh-on-sea. I'd never heard of it before now and it's just a few stops on the train for me. I will be making a trip there very soon. Can't wait. :D No worries mate, ally and dave and co are a friendly bunch and theres the retro Hunter...

Well what a kind thing to say. Cheers mate. And for those wondering, I do not know who smccd is. If it's you Dad, thanks but we've talked about this before... Also, I too like the guided tour/director's commentary format - for 8-bit games which often had specific screens, I think it works well - I'...

Own up, who is the world record holder on Pole Position?

Over 69k is an awesome score that is featured in issue 201.

Get in touch with TG to register your score.

That was me, and I absolutely did not cheat (uncrosses fingers)

I bring nothing useful whatsoever in fact to this or any forum. :) Anyway another great issue esp the article on the A L I E N series of games (shoulda been an issue or 2 Long) :arrow: My first draft was 2000 words over, hence the 'you started this show me everything' box out. Glad you enjoyed it!

Issue 196 is here!

Cover feature 30 years of the gameboy
Making of Firelord
In the chair Vincent Baillet
History of 2000ad games
Ultimate guide super adventure island
X-com fully declassified

Plus lots more


Plus all the regulars and the return of Iain Lee!

Well deserved slopes, your videos are very entertaining

Watched legend last night, the Krays film.
Was ok. Good lead performances but it could have done being a bit more gritty. Felt rushed too despite the 2 hour plus running time. But it was ok.

Back to Def con 3

Bye psj

Anyone else got this? Subscriber cover is Mortal Combat... can't get it at the mo as it's in the car - that's at work! :roll: Some great stuff in there (I'm no Mortal Combat fan) but 35 Mastertronic Games is a nice little article (after the disappointment of the Kickstarter book not coming off) wou...
