Future Publishing bring back Super Play magazine for 1 month only - free with Retro Gamer (OUT NOW)

Will probably get this. Would be nice to keep it with my SNES mini when I get it. Could bundle the two together and sell them at some point.

Better than spending £13 on the last edge mag anyway.

Used to read it and it's up there with official Nintendo magazine and games master for pure happy memories. I remember getting a letter published in super play, happy times indeed.

Picked one up in Smith at Lime St station this morning.

Ordered online

I had to laugh at an auction for this on eBay - £20, and the following in the item description:

"Brand new and unread therefore in great condition and available at a cheaper price that the high street."

Er, it's £5.99 on the High Street...

Or £4.99 online with free delivery :lol:

How many pages does the Super Play magazine have? Is it a full magazine, or just more of a suppliment?

It's 52 pages and stapled.

It's definitely worth it - absolutely packed full of contents and there are no ads within the magazine.

I've loved reading through it, especially as I read the magazine during the SNES era.

This also makes me sad at the death of physical magazines - it's just not the same reading online.

Disappointing it's only 52 pages, but I picked up a copy at lunch regardless.

I grabbed a copy today. It's ace; 116 retro-fuelled pages including great articles on the PC Engine, Moon Patrol and Medal of Honor.

Oh, and the bonus Super Play mag is kinda okay, too.

The editor does say at the front if it's a success they may do more.

N64, ARCADE and Amiga Power seem like obvious contenders.

Amiga Power would be ace, KK! I'm thinking about Crash and Zzap! 64* versions, too...

*With Rockford drawn in the page borders :wub:

.

ARCADE please.

Oh and Total! for my own nostalgic feels. They'd need to get Steve Jarrett and Andy Dyer back for it. I'd take Frank O'Conner as well but he's too busy being the big man at 343 Industries (He's been working on Halo since at least Halo 3 I believe).

ARCADE could still exist today, and I would love it to, but you're unlikely to get N64 or Amiga Power back (bar for an instance like this). But I suppose you could just do special retro review editions.

I've just remembered Computer and Video Games, which I could see them more likely to go for than ARCADE.

I think it'd be amazing if they did one issue of the Official PlayStation magazine in the style of the original, with cover disc and case. I dunno, maybe Sony would be funny about it - particularly adopting the old masthead.

Amstrad action! With a cover tape :wub:

I subscribed to both Amstrad Action and Commodore Format when they were way past their peak popularity - probably about 1994 - and their final few issues were sixteen (16!) pages... but they still came with a cassette / disk :lol:

. Even so, the writers were so passionate about the systems that they were still worth it :wub:

.

I transferred some of the demo tapes to disc so I could play the demos over and over. I never did beat that space marine demo but i played it as much as a full game.

Ordered online - this is first magazine I've bought in at least 5 years.
