Oooh. RG45 looks to be the best issue ever. Congratulations to Darran and the crew for the hard work that you've put into it. I'm amazed that you managed tokeep everything a secret, even when people in the forum were complaining at the possible absence of snow.

I'm looking forward to reading... everything.

Lovely front cover, very impressed, did a double take when I got it out of the subs wrapper

Not made much of a dent reading-wise but there's some fantastic looking content, congrats to everyone involved. The Hitchhikers and Sega Saturn mag pieces were superb.

Looking forward to reading the both the Stuart's articles, Indy, Strike and Nights..

[Type2XS]

Interesting features. Looks like the perfect holiday gift for us readers Thank you guys! I'm so looking forward to get it

[merman]

Excellent issue, I really loved the making ofs, mikeb's piece on the Taito F2/3 boards was great and good to see the C64 version of Buggy Boy getting the attention...

Just one thing Stu, there are five events in Skate or Die - the sixth "street" on the menu lets you compete in all the events...

Really like the cover too.

[Shin_Gouki]

Cover does look very nice, I'll keep an eye out for it February when it hits Oz!

[SirClive]

Great mag this month again. But the picture for Stuart still looks embarrassing next to the artist impressions of everyone else. Its been 3 months now, so I would have thought Markie or whoever could have knocked up a quick scribble.

EXCELLENT AND VERY XMASSY LOOKING FRONT COVER!!! BRILLIANT!!!!


I am very much looking forward and EXCITED in reading this Xmas Issue!!!!

They should just get Ant Stiller (the chap who did the pics for Zzap! 107 and Rob's DEF Zzap!) to do some temporary ones until Markie has time. I know he's both willing and able.

[Rev. Stuart Campbell]

Splendid to see the ZX81 finally afforded some kudos. But no mention of this?



For shame!

[bolda]

Got my copy on saturday but only thumbed through it as I've not finished the Doom issue yet... looks like a Christmas cracker though!

Delighted to see that my contributions made it into both "From the Forum" sections! The only other issue I've been in was last Christmas!

[rupert]

Excellent cover, Never played Nights but still looks good.

Like the Indiana Jones bit on the cover as it's one of those films you always watch at xmas.

Not read much yet but looks great so far, Ive got that Father Christmas game for the speccy, was suprised to see it.

[Opa-Opa]

Great issue with some fantastic games but 6 pages of rubbish in the middle...

Now we have got this pinball nonsence out the way can we go back to covering the video games, seeing as how this is why most people buy the mag?

Still no VIC-20 coverage, another ZX81 feature but no VIC....

[Rev. Stuart Campbell]

The pinball games ARE videogames, you oaf. You play them on a PC.

Rubbish
They have about as much to do with Videogames as Y-fronts with iron on pictures of game characters on them..

I'll look foward to a 6 page waste of time featuring an in depth look at these, with my personal fav being Sonic and the brown ring....
