I only just bought last months on Saturday!!

I'm looking forward to the SNK feature. Is it a Seany special?

Not sure why I'm looking in here to see what's in the new issue when my sub copy's sitting in it's poly bag literally 6 foot away.....

Well open it and give us some opinions!

I've opened it

Will have a proper read over lunchtime but it looks to be another good ish!

Mad Gear - don't think the SNK piece is one of Sean's but I can't find a name on it. RG's not going all Edge-like on us I hope

Don't quote me but I think Ashley Day of GamesTM (and formerly NTSC-UK) fame wrote it.

Cheers D!

Got mine today. What an issue. Absolutely brilliant. There isn't a bad article in the whole mag! The definitive Frogger is funny as ****. Who the hell would have known there was all them frog games? I didn't write the SNK piece, but I did do the Pirates one, and Duddy contributed a very interesting and amusing piece on VR. The best issue of RG yet, hands down.

The SNK piece was written by Mike Tooley who also put together the Phantasy Star feature.

It's probably just an error on my part.
After readers complained that names weren't appearing I'm now trying to put names on everything.
Hell, even my names starting to appear...

Eep! Colour-me-wrong!
