Ahh yes..full of Nintendo bullness........again.........wouldn't be simpler to rename the magazine to retro nintendo gamer and be done with it?  :)



Ps. I love Nintendo , well the Super Nintendo entertainment System, anything after that sucked lol  8)

The highlight of this issue is the Jeff Minter interview. I wasn't really fussed with the rest of it.

Means then it's a dead end issue for me, as I've no interest in jeff minter stuff at all, I always felt his games, even his new ones, where home brew experiments he sold as actual full priced software, and before you mention it, I exclude tempest 2000 from that category .

So looks like another downloaded issue for me.

Yeah wasnt a lot in there for me too, bullfrog article was ok, so was the scumm one,  thought the swos article was pretty poor tbh not what I was expecting and Jeff minter and Nintendo articles did nothing for me...oh well roll on the pce article next issue!

So far I have only read the Jeff Minter interview but to be honest I was disappointed with it, there were far too many questions about his iOS games for my liking. Would have liked to hear more about his work for Atari.

The Bullfrog article looks ok but that xmas article just screams of filler.

At least next months issue will be bloody good to make up for it ;)

Having flicked through Issue 110 tonight my only critique is that it is NOT CHRISTMASSY ENOUGH.

Yes I agree it's not Christmassy enough at all...and the cover is pure Nintendo shiteness!

Interesting to read that Xmas Nights got made because of seeing Xmas Lemmings!
