I really love this mag! Would love to get a subscription. But what is this all about with this vouchers and stuff? On the website, it seems to me like I can only get this 70 Pounds subscription for 13 issues, because I am in Germany. They have other offers for less magazines and they are cheaper, but it seems they are not available for Germans.
And also: do you get it somewhere at your local bookstore not in the UK? I tried to get it here, but no success..
Anyway, I will order the Bubble Bobble issue! It was the first videogame I ever played. My brother started it on the C64 for me and went away (I was a small kid back then) and I played it the whole day! Amazing game!!

do you get it somewhere at your local bookstore not in the UK?

In Düsseldorf the magazine is available at the book store/ newspaper stand at the central station.

If you'd like to get an issue which has just been released, I could buy it for you (as I'm working in Düsseldorf (and not that far away from the central station), it's no problem to drive by).

Yes it's OK on the iPad but I'm not really happy with the App they use for it. This can be greatly improved IMHO.

For me it's pure bliss though. I always have the magazines with me, I can stores hundreds of them, it's cheaper and quicker of course.
Yes there is something lost in not having a physical magazine, but for me the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages.

Ah ! That makes it worth getting a lot more. I am actually pretty interested in the Frogger article because I know about nothing about the history of that game.

Right ! And after reading the piece of junk they called "the history of Frogger" I STILL know ZERO about the history of the game.

They BARELY touch the original arcade version.There is not even a NAME of the guy(s) behind this game !!
NOTHING is told about the process of designing the original, no interviews with the programmer/developper. For Christs sake, there isnt even a picture of the arcade machine !!!!!!

After about 2 colums reading we get a souped up list of raunchy follow up games which are either totally uninteresting or plain trash. Frogger is Frogger and he shouldnt be walking straight up or in fact do anything else than crossing that road and pont !!!

DEEPLY disappointed by this article, it seems like it was written bij a 20 year old who thinks a Playstation2 is a classic system.....

Definitly not on par like articles about Asteroids.  :( >:( >:( >:(

New issue feautures Metal Slug and "The history of Space Harrier".

Judging from the preview, they managed again to do the SH article without a picture of the arcade cab....
no, not even the full sit down version that should of course be there....

Instead they waste about 3/4 of two pages with 3 times the same figure from the game.....
