Retro Gamer Issue 118 - Feedback Thread

[psj3809]

Just got this through the door. Nice cover, based on Flashback. Hope someone can scan it in.

Apparently its Darrans 100th issue, so congrats, impressive milestone. Page about Revival and a few photos of it. Damn those giant Gameboys look superb.

Nice Flashback article, must admit i've never 'got' into this game much but i'm sure after reading this article i'll give it much more of a go on my ipad. Hey great stuff, article on Chequered Flag. Loved that game as a kid, think its aged badly, looks shocking but i remember playing this as it was one of the free games i got with my Speccy so great memories of this.

Guide to lightgun games, never got into these much but looks interesting.

Two page screenshot of Sagaia, have to give this shooter a play.

Flight of the Amazon Queen, never really bothered with this game before. Looks decent though

NES - Never had one as a kid (Went the Megadrive route) but i must admit i 'cough' loved using emulators for this and going through the games catalogue

Mastertronic. This looks a great article, nice to see Caves of Doom get a mention. Looks an interesting article.

Good stuff - a list ! 25 top Megadrive games. I'll enjoy this later.

Defender of the Crown - Damn, nice month for me this issue. One of the first games i saw on my mates Amiga. This reminds me to download it from the app store. Loved these early years of the Amiga when i had it.

Dino Crisis - Never played it, looks alright.

Desert Island Disks - Paul Norman, never heard of him but he was working for the enemy (C64

Retrorated - Glad SWKOTOR got a good review,

Next month - Super Castlevania IV, Q*Bert, Puzzle games and more.

Good month for me this issue for sure

Just received my issue, flicked through, not a single 8 bit computer featured (I like the hardware articles)

This is quickly becoming Retro Console Gamer......

Another boring issue for me, just like last month.

From that list I'm only really looking forward to the Mastertronic article, but RG never fails to surprise me, there's always an article or two that I end up enjoying more than I thought I would.

Nice cover.

Well theres a large article on Mastertronic who obviously did 8 bit computers. Article on Chequered Flag, thats two large 8bit articles there. Next month features the Speccy 128k

Theres plenty of stuff for 8 bit fans this month.

Any bits you do like ? Constructive criticism is good but looking at all your 3 posts they're all negative !

There are plenty of 8-bit features. If you're expecting an 8-bit hardware feature every month, then yes, you're going to be disappointed. We only typically do one hardware feature a month, and can't just do 8-bit. Next month is a feature on the spectrum 128K, so hopefully that will be of interest to you

And Paul Norman is 8-bit too (on the C64)...

Another stylish looking issue, from the cover to the brilliant lightgun article. (Although I will point out the selection of games was different for each of the 8-bit computer versions of the Magnum...)

Really enjoyed Graeme's Mastertronic piece, the look back at Flashback and the Dino Crisis feature. And of course once again Paul Drury entertains with Desert Island Disks.

I arrived home from holiday today to find RG on the door mat. Perfect! Glass of wine and feet up a bit later on. Oh, and that cover, I LIKE that cover

Congrats on 100 issues from me too.

This is soooooooo not true.

Outstanding issue for me in the most part!

I might be a bit biased though this month as I appear in the mag 4 times (photo, 2 quotes and my own article!)

Seriously though I can't wait to give this a read. The Mastertronic article, Light Guns (even though the Atari gun is missing), Making Of Chequered Flag and Mega Drive top 25 being my personal highlights.
