RangerG Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 A good read as always - thanks. You put a lot of effort into the publication and have an interesting niche/approach - makes you ponder!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleco Kong Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I would like to say, I enjoyed the video review very much, very insightful and I felt the final score for the games (Chopper Command, Defender, Fantastic Voyage, Space Cavern, and Space Jockey) were pretty dead-on accurate. I can't wait to see the next 5 reviewed. Please let it be Kaboom! or Jr. Pac-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Thanks for the nice feedback, it's appreciated. That's all we really ask for, is feedback, positive or otherwise. It's enough for us just to be read. As it is now we don't have to bother with advertising or making money or anything. We do it because we genuinely like it, so it's nice to know there are readers out there and they have something to say. I won't be doing a video feature next issue. However, one of the other editors most likely will, most likely covering an old PC title. I will most likely be doing an audio article and a detailed article to accompany it. We're trying to continually mix things up and see what our readers really like. All the different formats have their positives and negatives from both a reader and a server standpoint.

Cybergoth Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi there! Two corrections for the article about computer music: The Cure never was a "Synthpop" band. Front 242 is from Belgium, not Germany. Good reading besides that... (Except that IMHO such an article should also mention "Vince Clarke" and "Moog-Synthesizers" ) Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
