Edge has saved itself from me-canceling-subscription this month by being rather good.

And because Dimrill is on p113.

Not quite, he looks far more disturbing in Edge. In a Cuddly bear with a hacksaw kind of way.

Cool! I was also in ODM once - I went for one of those group interviews they did. This one was about wanting to work in the videogames industry. My photo is in there and everything, and I can quite honestly say that I have never looked as gay as I do in those shots.

Which is why absolutely none of my friends were informed about it, ever.

Collector's editions are a bad idea at the best of time (what kind of mongish mong is going to spend over £50 on sixteen copies of the same Games TM magazine), but I've noticed that a few magazines have taken to doing it even when their front cover is completely hidden by a bag. Duh!

I really like that. I like not knowing what cover I'm going to get.

It's like when you bought Panini stickers when you were a kid.

Ta, guv. Nice to see the designer had fun with the layout, too, with all those wee soldiers marching about the four pages.

Funny to note we've already had people moaning about us interviewing Jops "so much", though, despite the fact that it's been about a year since the SWOS piece.

Next month from me in RG: Defender!

Well considering how instrumental Sensible were in 16 bit awesomo games, it's justified to mention him I think. I wanna see something on Knights of The Sky. More than just the screenshot in Back to the 90s that is. Awesome that Ruff and Tumble had a mini feature too.

This month's is one of the best in a while. Along with the CF piece, there's a pretty good article on OutRun, Kim's great piece on Q*bert, and Mike B's Neo-Geo feature. Well worth a fiver.

I'll pop into WH Smiths early next week. RG has just been a little bit inconsistent of late and I'd got fed up of taking a punt each month and end up being annoyed,

I had to buy a second copy of last month's issue in addition to my subs copy as, due to trying to keep up with "the kids" from work on a night out, I was sick all over the first copy that lay next to my bed. All over Stu's Boulderdash article. Ick.

What a delightful story!

I now get me Retro Gamers from my dad. Once he has read them. Relax, he takes good care of them; no coffee mug rings or dog-earring. I enjoyed last month's issue, particularly the Marble Madness feature. Good work, whomever wrote it!

(RG, eh kids? It shares it's name with an old fanzine which I had articles in. Although sadly I've never had anything published professionally. Which is a great shame to the world of the written word.)

I recently watched a shaven-headed yob-type trying to convince my local shop to get some Xbox mag in for him. The shopkeeper offered him something else, to which the skinheed (quite rightly) replied, "That's a PLAYSTATION mag, mate. They're different things!"

At the end of the transaction (he bought some fags) he asked again for them to order it, as he'd certainly buy it.

Why the hell he doesn't just subscribe, I don't know. I always wondered what sort of person used those 'dear newsagent' cards mags used to put in.

Personally, I'm just really happy that the designer did exactly what I wanted from a layout standpoint. That DPS of the Marble Madness levels, with commentary from Mark Cerny, was wonderful to see in print.

Wot no "Magazine-sharing is ruining publishing"? What are the publishers thinking of? They can't possibly think that spreading their work more widely is a good thing?!

Would agree regarding Sensi - their originality, humour and savvy design means much of their stuff is still a delight to play, unlike many contemporary softcos whose work has aged quite badly. Hoping to see SEUCK covered in the mag at some point before I die ;)

Loved KOTS back in the day, strange RG has never really looked at any titles from the early days of the sim market - if only for a brief overview. Glad someone else here is a Ruff fan, had mucho fun revisiting it to take screenies, and it's such a *nice* looking game.

You missed a good'n there mate, my favourite issue in a while - highlights being Craig's beautifully presented making of Marble Madness, RevStu's Boulderdash Definitive (his best in ages if you ask me) and the DID with Ally Noble - great to hear one of the former Dentons talking Frankie...

Me. Because a sub was out of reach in one hit with my pocket money. Also sub rates used to be a fair bit higher.

Also Future withdrew subs from Your Sinclair very early on. Apparently so few people subscribed it wasn't worth the admin. We're talking 12 months + before the mag finally closed. YS had a very low percentage of readers subbing. Compare that to something like Amstrad Action which kept ticking over for years on it's relatively large subs base. By the end the only way to get it in a newsie was to reserve it as Future were only sending out what was specifically asked for.

Skim reading, me. I loved Ruff (and - Ed) Tumble - it was gorgeous, sounded lovely, played smoothly, had a brilliant arcadey feel and was fearsomely hard. I remember roaring with triumph for about five minutes when I finally defeated it.

The last boss was shockingly easy (although having said that, the first two were pretty easy, too - by chance, or through my powers, I discovered both their weak spots on my first play. The third one caned me every time, though) once you figured out his glaring weakness, though.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
He couldn't turn round. Simply jump across the platforms and reach the one behind him, and you can blast away at him without taking a scratch.


Still a fabby game, and it was bastard hard to track down for WinUAE purposes a few years ago.

I've got some early issues hanging around still, and I think Edge was (arguably) more "interesting" around that time. As in unusual. Looking back at how it covered the gold rush of the post 16-bit era is rather intriguing from where we are now. Gotta remember too it was rather a different kind of magazine to all the competitors when it was new - being so straight-faced when every other publication was slightly whimsical or juvenile...

I don't need to chuck them until I move house, so I will hold onto them. If I ever get out of the house to one of these here meeting things I could bring them, but I'm a massive shut-in.

I have hundreds of 2000ads and JD Megazines from yonks ago I should clear out too. And a Sam Coupe.

Tis indeed. Missed it first time round, so nice to read it (or what they have available) on the AMR site. Speaking of which, that site made me feel less pained recently when I had to recycle loads of my old APs - not because of space issues, but because they were all mouldy-ied up.

Cripes Edge is a bit chunky this month. Seems to be at least 25% thicker than normal. Pity those pages are all industry guff about what Studio X has for lunch.

I emailed Martin Kitts of Ngamer late last night ( Image ) because I was reading through the new issue and saw some items from my eskimimi.com shop in there and wanted to say thanks, and to ask if it would be OK to scan in the little section and add it to my blog, and he was kind and thoughtful enough to reply before I had even woken up today, which I was very impressed by.

I've had some Miis, a couple of bits n bobs and a small missive from Monkey asking people to join his band in NGamer before, but the pictures of the DS cases was a lovely surprise as it wasn't something I submitted (well, neither were most of the miis, they seem to have just migrated from my console to theirs as I have NGamer added as a wii friend ( :nerd: ).

Anyway, I just wanted to say how great they were for bothering to reply, and in such a timely manner to. Good for NGamer!

Sigh... Total PC Gaming now up from £3.99 to £5.49 with a 'free' DVD and 'book'. The book especially is atrocious, there's a guide to overclocking and an extract from an EVE novel that are alright, but also an 'extended' version of an interview with the EVE devs that looks like they just printed out bits of the writer's transcript - jumps all over the place, bits out of context, bad English...yuck.

It's a shame as the magazine just isn't as well written as Zone or Gamer, but at two quid cheaper it was worth getting.

Sigh... Total PC Gaming now up from £3.99 to £5.49 with a 'free' DVD and 'book'. The book especially is atrocious, there's a guide to overclocking and an extract from an EVE novel that are alright, but also an 'extended' version of an interview with the EVE devs that looks like they just printed out bits of the writer's transcript - jumps all over the place, bits out of context, bad English...yuck.

It's a shame as the magazine just isn't as well written as Zone or Gamer, but at two quid cheaper it was worth getting.

Why Lord why!?

Not only that, Craig was saying (possibly even here) that they've stopped commissioning retro stuff too and are using RG reprints.

To summerise : Last month 2 USPs... Today 0.
