Just sent this to teen game developer son who will sit here and school me on games I played 30 years ago. Thank you for the links!

Damn you for the time I'm going to lose browsing Amstrad Action....... :)

But not Your Sinclair?

Arnold all the way, Nick. :)

Bah...

Too much color clashing ^^

Builds character! 8x8 characters admittedly... @zxvintage.bsky.social and @zxvintage40.bsky.social are both worth a look if you fancy dipping yourself into #zxspectrum (both are my feeds)

Thanks ! I'll gladly scroll (as smoothly as I can) through it !

Love this blurb from electronic gaming monthly’s John Davison questioning smash bros 64 pre-release

Screw you John, Killer Instinct ruled

Yeah John is just being a hater 😅

Wait, the Nintendo Power Ninja Gaiden walkthroughs??

Please Please Please someone find me the magazine article for Symphony of the Night where there is an image of a Stone Rose and a caption that says “I thought the Stone Roses broke up”

I remember using this to find the issue of ACE that planted the “leave the UK, move to California and make games” seed in my 10 year old head. It’s a wonderful resource.

I remember reading magazines like this, and pining to own some of the games in it. Now I'm and adult, and I do the same thing for the same games, but on eBay now, lol

The more things change, the more they stay the same. 😆

Interesting to see old Atari ST mags featuring software I worked on from 1986 onwards.

I knew i was right to toss all those magazines *checks notes* 25 years ago
