Just dropped through my letterbox and looks good.
The cover is pretty cool and I'm looking forward to reading the End of the 8-bits article as I only had a NES at the time so missed out on all of that stuff. Also looking forward to reading the Final Fight and UN Squadron articles.

Just had my weekend made special by a issue 92 waiting for me in the post
The end of the 8-bits looks like a very thorough article that I'll enjoy reading. Also looking forward to reading the Amstrad collectors guide, I don't have any intention of getting one but I always love reading them.
I will leave more informed feedback when I've had a good read through.
Oh, by the by, my favourite bit was seeing that you have s SNES collectors guide next issue, this means wet-yourself-excitement for me! Can't wait

Chazz it up!!!

Arghh! 92! I'm still finishing off 90!
This is what happens when I'm on holiday and when work sends me away on courses and surveys; I get nothing read.
Must catch up.

Whoever did the cover needs a pat on the back, it looks great!
Looking forward to the Final Fight, U.N. Squadron and Grim Fandango pieces.

I'm not overly keen on the cover, but its a good issue.
Final Fight, UN Squadron, Grim Fandago - all great.
Just had a look at the Amstrads top games.....ha, it's easy to see why it was a million miles behind the C64 and Speccy.

Looks very good, had a brief look through, but I have so much to read just lately this will have to wait a bit...

Well, the weather's pants, I don't like Golf, so no point watching the TV, check the post and

Issue 92! Plenty of 8 Bit stuff as well as an article of Final Fight

. Good work guys. Haven't read a thing yet, just flicked through, but my afternoon's taken car of now.

Yeah great issue so far, had a flick through earlier, love the front cover, it's better than the repeat of the Zelda cover again! One mistake spotted in the Steve Turner number crunching section, it states the CD32 version was never published when it was, it was the Megadrive version that was never released..
Oh and what's going to replace the Back To The 80s pages, we have only two months left!?

Last time I checked there were 12 months in a year and 10 years in a decade making 120 months of Back to the 80s. We've not had 120 issue of the mag yet.

Like the new edition but felt the end of 8-bit article could have been longer, was good all the same!

Umm this Issue covers October 1989....I've no A levels in Maths but to me there's only November and December before 1990 comes around....don't tell me your counting the 90s as the new 80s now!? But I'm sure I did think before you had missed a year somewhere!?
