You wind up with more content per issue, though.

I wish I'd been collecting this from the outset. I've only just gotten involved with the magazine, and I'd love to have it in print rather than in digital form. Ah, well--I'll be enjoying it while I can, I will.

Got my copy today :mrgreen:

Love this magazine. The editor has a pretty good youtube channel for those interested: http://www.youtube.com/user/RetroGamerDaz

Regarding the reviews...releasing such a bad version of Lemmings on a format it should really work well on? Criminal :evil:

I haven't read this magazine properly since 2006. I wanted to buy a copy the other week, but nowhere stocked it.

Really? W.H. Smith stocks it here. Though it usually sells through pretty quickly, and last week would have been a bad time to check, since you're about a week away from the next issue.
Speaking of which, #74 is in the shops now - you might have more luck tracking a copy down now.

The thing is that they're not actually, y'know, all that. They are good, but I wouldn't have been happy paying much more than RRP in the first place. £80 is crazy money.

I'd happily list my own copy on ebay but it's at my parents' house and I'm not.

Cheers! I managed to pic up a copy while in town today. I've also taken out a subscription now. ^_^
