Too much? Where's the bad in that?

Rally Speedway, a A8 original, but I guess the reviewer had no knowledge of this.

Yeah, i wouldn't trust him as far as i could throw him! i bet he's secretly a Spectrum fanboy.

i'm sure Stu's aware that Rally Speedway originated on the A8 but he's talking about playing the C64 version as a kid in that Retro Revival. If a proper Making Of is ever done (which needs input from the original author so that may simply not be possible, one of the freelancers might have a contact) then the lineage'll be covered in detail.

 

[Heaven/TQA]

RG has become far more acurate in terms of A8 to be honest... and that's cool even it is an UK/European mag

Could be...

Has any one read or looked at the Atari Book thing they have just brought out?

 

For health reasons I don't get out a lot (ie hardly ever) and 10 quid is a lot of cash for a magazine, is it just reprints of their earlier stuff or is there more to it?

 

Can't remember the last time I purchased a magazine, they got so damned expensive and 80% adverts..

 

I'm lucky that my mate buys Retro Gamer so I borrow a set of them and digest and give em back..

10 quid for a magazine......who's it made by...news international/NMC etc (same people that do tatler/vogue etc)

 

For that sort of money i'd want a ton a games some free emu's and at least 200 plus pages (plus an addendum with type in program listings)

Curt & whatshisface's one or something else?

[Mclaneinc]

The one by the Retro Gamer people out now Ian..

I have a copy. Haven't read it cover to cover, but I posted on Facebook that I wouldn't pay extra to get it shipped had I known. I would have waited for it to show up in bookshops on this side of the Atlantic.

That's tempting.

The Atari bookazine is great, mainly it is Atari stuff from previous RG articles, but I believe also some other material.

[snicklin]

I've ordered mine today.

[+Philsan]

The Atari Book is a very interesting read, especially if you don't have the original Retro Games magazines or you like to have Atari articles on a single book.

[Heaven/TQA]

the Atari articles were a great read in RG so assume that the book is good quality. Kudos to imagine to publish the book. in UK but I love the 2600 cover anyway... it seems I am still magical attracted to low-rez pixels and the damned Atari Fuji sign plus 2600...
