Great cover! That aesthetic has aged surprisingly well when uprezzed. Maybe that's quads vs triangles?

 

Seems you guys have had much more access to Japanese devs lately, which is good.

Virtua Fighter? I thought you were called RETRO Gamer. FFS.

You're not going to like next month's cover then

If it's newer than 1978 I'm not interested.

It's 11 years old. Prepare to brace yourself…

Christ. You'll be doing "The Making of Mario Odyssey" and "2020's Best Shooters" before the summer is out.

ANYWAY. In seriousness, now that new VR is as dead as old VR, how about a feature on old VR? Virtuality etc.

We have done a VR article years ago. The biggest issue is getting screenshots of the games and it's now a lot harder for us to use press shots of the time.

Really looking forward to hearing what Yu Suzuki has to say.

They're good choices to be fair.

Hey @strider are you allowed to include Retro movie books on your Things You Can Buy page?

[strider]

Personally, I'd like to include all sorts of retro related products on that page. Hell, I'd like to do a general retro magazine.

 

[Goose]

I'll send you a copy of 80 From the 80s if you ever do get to feature non-retrogaming stuff.

I already have the kindle version but I can't use that in a magazine

[Meh]

Is there a Moonoids advert in this one?

That's a mighty cover indeed. I love me some Saturn Virtua Fighter.

I genuinely tried to buy Moonoids last night. Only on the page when you scroll down, the Buy Now button vanishes and won't come back even if you reload the page. There's code on the page to display: none it when you scroll! I spent a while trying to edit the page to stop it doing so, but once I'd managed it and clicked the button, I wasn't drunk any more.

[Meh]

How much DOES it cost to have an advert on the back of the mag, Darren?

Maybe this is the game....

 

Also the site works fine in Chrome and goes to a paypal page for $5.  I for one am looking forward to your review.
