I can imagine how well "pages and pages of programs" would go down these days And the only 'mind games' played now seem to be between the major console manufacturers...

"what on earth does capcom think it's doing with the super-fab CP system board? The release before last was UN squadron - a banal horizontal shooter. Yawn. And now, we are offered Final Fight - A beat-em-up.
Ok so the sprites are big but does the world seriously need another one of these?..."

Heres what ACE had to say about final fight

They then go on to give it a 2 10p coins out of 5 rating. That well known gamers favourite, the classic "ameri-darts" scores higher., with 3 10p coins.
forgettable zombie operation wolf clone 'Beast Busters' gets 4/5
C+VG's first review of outrun was a bit lackluster too , they seemed to prefur WEC lemans.

I was with them at the time. I'd already played Gang Wars, Golden Axe and Crime Fighters to death over the preceeding two years. When Final Fight arrived in our arcade everybody was playing Robocop 2 instead. It was easier, plus you got to have guns and rockelaunchers!

Originally posted by Rebelli0nLooking through c+vg and ace again, i started feeling the same excitement i used to feel then. For some reason, When i see the PC engine on the front of a 1987 C+VG, it still looks really exotic and unattainable. I've only just started to browse really, but Heres an issue i loved
I still have the outrun/720 tape that came with it. I used to listen to that for hours on loop. one of the best things to be mounted on a cover of a magazine, in the history of putting things on the front of magazines.
Thanks for the great links... I'm going to be flicking through all this lot for ages.
quality!!.. I remember that tape, I dubbed it over and over again on a 60 min tape and I had it playing on my walkman during my paper round for weeks!..

The 720 side is really good too though, hopefully someone will have it to hand

I have that tape too! It was mint and I agree it was the best cover mount ever. I'm sure it had AfterBurner music on it also.
Skate or Die, skate or die.
The first C&VG I ever purchased had a mini Arcade Action booklet cover mount. Had a guide for OutRun, a feature on an old distributors warehouse (Deith?) with rows of Wec Le Mans and Star Wars cabs, I'm sure an interview with Capcom and some lovely artwork for VS Super Mario Bros. coupled with splendid screen shots throughout (all from memory). Them were the days and put now to shame, magazine wise, clearly.Last edited by JAPJAC; 21-04-2006, 12:10.
