Mclaneinc Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Nice one Robert, an excellent mag with a nice mix of new and old styles, highly recommended to all Atarians... Paul.. Edited September 3, 2016 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Just got mine and its another top issue folks, more on the wonderful spectrum / BBC ports, a bit about the ABBUC in a box and lots more.. Its well written, but what I love is that its big colourful and bold with stuff for all of us such as useful maps, hardware stuff, good focus between old and the newly produced games in a nice big fun read. I do enjoy the Excel old stuff, real nice nostalgia.. Its all wrapped up in a very professionally made mag... Not been through every part but its left me already awaiting issue 3... Well done Robert, another great issue and for those not getting it you are missing out... Paul..

Fred_M Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I would like to have an issue, but..... (I am being honest here, the Dutch are known for it ) 4.99 pounds plus 4 pounds shipping to The Netherlands is really too costly for me. 9 Pounds is 10.72 Euros..... too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's that Royal Mail for you - and the exchange rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_M Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) True, but to be honest (again) when I look at the prices of the Royal mail I get the impression that the magazine must be quite heavy and one thing in particular draws my attention... When you live in the UK the postage is free, so the UK shipping costs are in the price of the magazine. When I look at the shipping costs outside the UK and the prices on the website of the Royal Mail, I get the impression that the amount of the included UK shipping costs is not deducted from the international shipping costs. Again, just my impression. I will probably make a mistake here... Edited September 5, 2016 by Fred_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I can attest to the fact the magazine is a lot heavier than Pro©, It's full magazine size on quality paper. I do know that Bob is trying to work on the shipping for different countries. And it is well worth the cost (In my opinion) But I can absolutely see your point of view. Reminds me of back in the late 80s trying to get stuff from the states sent to the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Was going to say possible spoilers but its such low res a photo it keeps it from being readable... Just a shot of the format and you can see there's a lot of love been used making the mag, really super magazine... Size kept down to save space but you can just make out the background image. And NO, I'm not photographing all the pages in hi res Edited September 10, 2016 by Mclaneinc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
