Sweet, when's it out in shops? 

[Luseth]

They have an ipad app don't they? Do these get issued to there? And can I download previous ones? Fancy downloading a couple to take on my hols next month (don't generally read magazines though)

Yes, you can subscribe via the app and buy back issues. Alternatively you can use Readly (£7.99/month) which has RG, amongst other mags.

Thank you

Incidentally there's a new digital deal to buy every single issue of Retro Gamer for around £48, which is pretty good value for money when you consider everything we've covered over the last 13 years.

I regret buying a digital sub via Newsstand (as was), would have preferred a universal sub that I could read them anywhere.

Due in the shops on Thursday.

 

And I still have Jonathan Dunn's Platoon music running through my head after writing the feature on it...

Excellent, thanks.

Is it just my issue with unreadable white on black text?

 

[watusi]

Just checked and mine is fine on all those pages (and t'others)

I've a few pages where the text seems out of alignment with the background too, leaving a sort of "hole" where the text was, while the text bleeds into the background colour instead.

Interesting, where is the deal available?

As far as I'm aware it's only for ios at the moment.

Sounds like the colour registration is out. Are you a subscriber? Subscribers tend to get the copies from early in the print run where things like that can happen. Maybe worth having a moan at Future on Twitter?

I'm sure they'll sort it - I think strider had passed it on anyway. To be honest, I'm not fussed - just wanted to report it as a printing fault rather than demand retribution
