The last few issues of RG seemed somewhat lacking but #52 I read 99% of it almost from cover to cover, only skimming the Retroinspection article. Everything else was highly interesting. (Star Wars Arcade game techs not wanting to be involved in a "guaranteed loser" - )

 

Also, it wasnt mentioned in the article but the original 3 SW arcade games are hidden in Gamecube Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike. I wanted to know if the Colecovision SW Arcade game was decent, but I've since bought Rebel Strike & play it on my Wii. SW: TAG rocks in 40" glory!

 

BTW- for anyone still waffling about a RG subscription- I've had issue #52 for 2 weeks now! Was going to take it on vacation last week but I read through it in 2 days.
