What's all that Japanese at the top right supposed to be?

[Lorfarius]

MegaDrive Total. The book covers every world wide release from US, to Europe and Japan Although these are sample pages at the moment, it might say Fish & Chips!

[The Laird]

Really looking forward to this!

I hate the cover design though, its awful.

[noobish hat]

At the moment it doesn't say anything, it's nonsense (or, as they say in Japan, NANSENSU DA). What you want is: トータル　メガドライブ

Is this going to cover every game released then? What about stuff like Beggar Prince?

[Lorfarius]

Yep, Beggar Prince is in there And thanks for the Jap translation, I'll pass it on!

[Lorfarius]

A few more pages to show off, we have swapped out the abbreviations for country flags and adjusted the Japanese to read accordingly (thanks noobish hat!):



And a couple more previews:




The book is almost written and we are well into the design stages now. We will hit the July release date, I'm determined

Woah, don't thank me just yet, because I made a mistake there. It's the wrong way round. It should be メガドライブ トータル, NOT トータル メガドライブ. For some reason I thought the title was Total Megadrive (probably been reading too many Total Gameboy magazines).

That's royal mail for you; slower than a dead dog on his day off or quicker than a whippet with a bumful of dynamite

Binding on my issue has gone a little, some of the front pages are starting to come loose. I think its because the cover doesn't open at the fold line a couple of mils in, it opens right at the bind line. It;ll be a shame if pages start falling out. Not so bad for a mag, but I'd be well annoyed if the MD (or any other) book did that.

^^ mine has already made that horrible creaking sound when I open the back cover, like you're tearing it apart

Good read though!

[Retro_Heart]

Hey Chaps, thanks for the feedback.

I have to say of all the copies we sold this is the first instance of this issue being reported. Also, I have my own copy, which has been very well read, by myself and others who i have showed it to, and that did not happen to it. It seems quite a durable and well put together item to me, but I wonder if there could be some discrepancies between units, which I shall duly investigate.

Hi Mate, further to my post last night, I have gone through and checked 20 odd books totally at random from our stock, and Havn't come across one book that suffers from this issue. The cover on all of them opens at the fold line, and everything seems good.

I am going to offer to send you a replacement book out, if thats ok. Feel free to PM me your info, and I'll get that organised for you post haste. Cheers

I just tested mine. The creaking was bad but I've opened all pages fully now without any problems. Seems like just Antiriad has a duff one
