    Didn't RETRO have some sort of CRASH-themed thingy? Do you think they got a licence for that?

    There I was, thinking that here was two pages worth of Zzap based retrospective forum chat, and it turns out to be more in-joke drivel.

    It wasn't always like this.... :(

    Spector makes a very good point indeed.

    Subtle hint there.

    Sorry teacher, we shall not have any childish humour on any forum apart from chit-chat

    They used lots of CRASH artwork, and I think they had a special with a foreword by Roger Kean (which I haven't seen). I assume they licenced the artwork directly from Oli.

    Nice to get a little plug for CRASH Online into the ZZAP supplement anyway.

    And I agree too.
    Beside the subjects themselves, there's sometimes hardly any difference between the chit chat forum and the other ones.

    With or without text?

    Know if enlarged repoductions are available?

    This could be seriously good...

    "... few will have ever seen the originals as beautifully reproduced as this, and free of the commercial sales lines and slogans that cluttered them as magazine covers."

    The example pages shown have, eg, the full text-free cover of CRASH 1 on one page, with discussion on the facing page.

    I just bought this month's Retrogamer but it didn't come with Zzap. There is an option to order the supplement from their website so I might do that out of curiosity.

    One thing I was wondering was, in the article about the BBC version of Cookie, they mention a site that has the game for download. Surely, since it's an Ultimate game, distribution would be denied, or does that only apply to Spectrum games.

    Maybe there's a legal loophole they are exploiting; as the game was previously unknown to Ultimate/Rare, normal rules don't apply.

    For all those who didn't get the free ZZAP! supplement - I would suggest contacting the mail order department at Live Publishing - Their contact details are in a 'sticky' thread at their forums (under the magazine feedback section).

    You can order it from Retrogamer's web site www.livepublishing.co.uk/retro . There are only a limited supply of them so you should place your order quickly. I just ordered mine.

    Well I'm curious. It will be interesting to see what life was like on the other side of the fence. Plus I might make some money by selling it later on. :)

    What next? Crash? SU (oh c'mon! It was n't that bad! And it *was* part of the Holy Trinity!)? Mmm...

    Mibrohobby or Micromania would be nice. I doubt that would ever happen though.

    Hey Sadako, did you use to read Microhobby or Micromania?

    They were really good magazines, but as you said, we will never see a brand new number of any of the 2 mags.

    Brittish people are very lucky to see new magazines although not very often (much better than never)

    Bye
