It probably won't be on the shelves in the UK anymore, the new issue is out. Each month they devote around a quarter of the mag to retro games, which is pretty cool. They do bits on the Neo every now and again, and they feature a retro console each month. Last month was the AES/CD/CDZ with a little bit on the MVS. Pity they didn't devote the whole section to the Neo like they did with Zelda the month before crying

Even so, this is the best all-format mag in the country for my money (including the holy Edge).

Scans here: <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=004921;p=2#000032" target="_blank">link</a>. If any of them are down, post and I'll upload again.

The latest edition also has a little info on SvC Chaos in the Retro section.

If the game isnt even out yet....... why is it in the retro section?

Kid Aphex · Jul 17, 2003

Hey NeoGoat, just wanted to thank you for those scans. It was a good read. :cool:

The issue that just hit the shelves has a 2-page review of MS3 for the PS2, scored 8/10 from what I remember. If I get a chance over the weekend I'll throw up some scans. This mag is growing on me, obviously written by old school gamers who know what they're talking about.

It is a nice mag, if I didn't have an Edge subscription I'd probably buy it regularly.

I find the graphics really annoying though, its as if they hired some old Smash Hits art editor or something. Maybe I'm too old for what the kids are down with nowadays.

No your reight, it's a bit of a mish mash n hard to follow, kinda looks like early 90's CVG in there.

NeoGoaT · Jul 18, 2003

Yeah, the retro section seems to have a similar vibe to the old 8-bit mag Crash. I didn't like that design then and I like it even less now. The retro touches throughout the mag are nice though. They're still in their first year of publication, hopefully they'll develop a style of their own. Compared to the likes of Games Master and C&VG it's still good stuff. Anyway Blackspy, you should know by now that we're far too old for videogames. Time to sell up and start playing golf wink

The CVG comments are spot on, It probably really is that bad...

God how I hate golf.

I started a new job about three months ago and about the first thing my boss asked was if I played.

I play squash as a socially acceptable adult recreation, that and walking huge distances are the two things I hide my game addiction behind.

So sad annoyed
