The stickers had all sorts of strange monsters on, stuff Gary Harrod had come up with at the time. They weren't related to any game, but looked cool as hell!

If you could take some decent photos of the items you have that would be great Jay

I always thought they were related to Ultraman on the SFC from that issue.

One of them was based on Ultraman but the others were just random creations.

Did Rich Leadbetter have a sidejob as a Rick Astley impersonator?

Champion!

Christ, you're so lucky man. Working in the same building as a living legend...

That is wicked

Duddy, have you noticed your website got a mention on legendary import site Insert Credit this week? Not bad I'd say.

Yes mate - the guy who posted it let me know via the MM forum.

It's done the trick - I got 205 hits yesterday - the previous 'best' was 66!

[Strider]

Oi, sort that flash out and change it from as seen in gamesTm to Retro Gamer

[Duddyroar]

Funny you should say that, I've already done a new 'flash' that states that the site has been seen in both GamesTM and Retro Gamer!

The next upload will be a biggie, should be getting all the review scans online from the first 24 issues!

That's awesome - can't wait for that!

I'm really looking forward to reading some classic Yob put-downs. Your site has been teasing for a while now :-) My humour may have matured, but in my early teens I found him highly amusing.

Just reading what you say on the site about there being no Mean Yob - I *think* I remember in the 1st (possibly 2nd too) issues of MM, they didn't have a graphic of Yob and just used one of Jaz looking mean. Not very interesting I know, but I was a big MM + CVG fan at the time and was a little dissapointed - like when i found out about santa.

Top site.

You're quite correct - the first issue didn't have a Mean Yob graphic in place and they just used a Jazza image.

The Mean Yob section is about to get some content - I'm going to cover Yob's history (from CVG onwards) and try and get some scans of decent letters on there too.

Found this little guy today! A tiny Julian Rignall! For some reason I coloured him in with felt pens when I got him back in the day but I might try and clean him up.



Sorry about the **** phone pic but my girlfriend has nicked my camera batteries for her radio!

[Duddyroar]

That's excellent! I lost my little Jaz figure - but someone kindly gave me theirs and he sits on my desk at work.

ANYWAY...

Big things are happening with the site. BIG things.

However assistance is required at this point - if you have ANY of the first 24 issues of the magazine and have time to spare, get in touch - don't worry, it's not scanning or anything - just some basic data entry.

Your name will appear in lights on the site (well, not quite in lights).

PM me for more information.
