If you're a lover of console games, there's still stuff like Dynamite Headdy, Splatter House 2, Operation Wolf, Gargoyle's Quest, Alien III and a few other bits and bobs to read about. I just tend to list the main features.

Wait until you see what's planned for issue 31...

[Klatrymadon]

Fantastic artwork, there.

I've missed everything since issue 24, unfortunately. Would it be possible to get a subscription that includes the back-issues I need, Strider?

Good to see The Divide getting a look in. I suspected it might, after Szczep's SM article.

Awww. Give us a clue. More Wil Overton?

[gizmo1990]

Just give the public what they want... more Frey.

[Wil]

That'd be great - if you can persuade him it'd go down a storm!

[gizmo1990]

I'd be interested to know Strider if you have actually sounded Olly Frey out about doing more covers?

I mean he couldn't cost that much and he's always striked me as a bloke who doesn't do it all for the money anyway?

Anyways, I'd rather have reprinted Frey stuff then new Will Overton any day of the week.

Great issue BTW - the G'n'G feature is solid gold.
