Its got the Revs review in it. I played that game for absolutely ages. Its one of my fondest memories of the good old 64. Its amazing what they could fit into 64K in those days. Its also why you used to see a large variety in game types and new genres. The cost of game development was so low, there was absolutely minimal risk in trying something different on the market. With the exhorbitant costs of development for games nowadays, its no wonder publishers take no risks and stick to the tried and tested formulas.

Iain,
This isn't a request, just a question. Did you say that all issues from 1 to 10 had been scanned, not just 1,7 and 10?
iain posted 02-04-2001 11:07 AM GMT
Yeap, all the issues from 1 to 10 (and upwards) have been scanned.
I also have some very good news! I was getting pissed off with doing the html for the new issues manually, even although it was mainly a cut and paste and search and replace job it was very boring and took a while, SO I wrote a little VB program over the weekend, to do it automatically. Now instead of about 1 hours per issue it takes around 10 seconds!!
:)
So the only bottle neck is the time it takes to download and upload the issues!

Yeah, I did the same thing with Delphi for GetRight, so I could download them :)

So when will you actually be uploading the issues, Iain?
iain posted 04-04-2001 10:50 AM GMT
They are uploaded, just have to put the links on the main page.
Check the site in about 1 or 2 hours
