Please dont drop the buyers guide in favour of a reprinted article,you are absolutly right about losing readers that way.!!!!
As Fightersmegamix says....we would like more articles on the more practical side of Retrogaming....more hardware and perifials(no idea how to spell that one )features.
You could update the retro price listings a bit too,or even put in a few different systems that dont seem to feature IE Mattell Aquarius,or other more obscure items like Einstein Tatung and so on.

As the magazine has featured lists recently, what about a list of the top 25 (or maybe 10) games that never got a release? I've been playing Ghostlop again recently and I think it could take the title. The game had great potential and that potential is realised on the ROM that's been floating around the net for years. Arkanoid + Puzzle Bobble = Ghostlop. How could it have failed? It has all the ingredients of an all-time great.

It could have also secured a high placing in a list of Top 25 games to play at a retro gaming Halloween party.

Well, I could see legal problems with this. After all, writing about an unreleased game that only got out through leaks is admitting that you own the rom/image of it.

I was watching Bring Back Star Wars the other night and as usual Justin Lee Colins had his retro video game t shirts on and thought wouldnt it be cool if RG had a "celeb gamer of the month" where avid gaming celebs talked about their love of retro gaming?

I know this idea wouldnt hold much water with some people and it would eventually turn into a "plug fest" but i'd love to see it. Someday maybe.....

I like this idea.

But a wee bit late, seeing as the October issue went to press today.

What about a Top 25 Bonfire Night / Fireworks games for the November Issue please?

If not, then roll on the Xmas issue.

I'd love to see a feature on the classic disney games of the early 90s. I'm thinking of Quackshot, Lucky Dime Caper, Castle of Illusion, Land of Illusion, World of Illusion. Exceptional games. Even Aladdin would be worth a mention in there.

Oh, and let's revisit Yob's Mailbag!

Ive said it before and I'll say it again, "The Retro Gamer Muff"

Not sure of the details yet, but perhaps each month Darran could put his hand inside the muff and pull out something interesting?

True! I wouldn't mind seeing something about the C64GS - espcially as we've done the GX4000. Which also then means that there has to be an RI on the CD32 and CDTV.

i would love an RI on cdtv too.It has a lot of classic gems like simcity,loom,defender of the crown which was an outstanding port.

Erm what about a Mercenary/Novagen/Paul Woakes article, the only developer who appears to have done a Lord Lucan, plus most of these games were released on the 8 and 16bits and even the Amstrad

Mutter mutter how many times have I asked ...

You've answered your own question there as to why it's so far not appeared 'making of' wise, especially now Bruce Jordan's sadly no longer with us. I'm not aware that Paul ever really gave any interviews to be honest, even back in the day. Maybe an overview on Novagen's games would be pretty interesting though.
