    Thanks for the heads up, Deadpan. And it's great to see you're OK now, Patrick, are you totally over your illness? And btw, did you see the "Best CPC games" article in this months Retro Gamer? I was glad Get Dexter was in there, but I thought that it would have been much higher (it should have been). I wouldn't have put Chase HQ so high, but then I'm not a racing fan myself.

    I know it's a trade term, but I loathe "bookazine". Many modern portmanteau words are terrible; this is one of them.

    Not over it totally, but got to get over depression so am out tomorrow to get shopping..

    Looks good! I have seen a bit that there is a page with spanish covers of Spectrum games, is the whole magazine very focused on UK stuff or is there a good quantity of international Spectrum stuff?

    I just posted this comment to the video on Youtube.
    That looks good. I'm tempted to get it - just to have everything in one place...even though I have all issues of RG.

    Hey, perhaps you can do an Amstrad one in a couple of years too...may have to be a leaflet instead of a bookazine, though. ;-)

    Was going to buy online but looks like (even using Paypal) I need to register there too :( , far too many registrations already at various sites. :) , is this on Ebay ? would be a good idea if not I think.

    By the time it took you to post that message you probably would have registered in seconds at that site anyway !

    Doubt its on ebay yet, probably will be once it sells out and people start flogging it for more.

    Worth the precious minute to register to buy it, i've got all the RG's myself but it'll be great to get the best Speccy stuff all in one bookazine, the C64 part of it, well be handy if i run out of bog roll ;)

    Why now? Couldn't they have done this in a less busier month or something?

    I was planning to buy more multiple issue 100s. And now I have to divert the money to this?

    Decision overload... :razz:
