Saw it in a magazine shop in Admiralty of Hong Kong Island.

Anyone subscribed to it? :)

I was subscribed back before the 1st incarnation went bust - lost about 6
months subscription fees on it. Have every issue from #3 and am currently
reading issue #58 - about 12 months behind. But I read cover-to-cover.

Very UK-centric. Mainly Sinclair, C64, BBC micro coverage and also covers
retro-compilations, re-releases for modern consoles and hand-helds (DS, PSP).

More computer-oriented than console and arcade. After some 70 issues it does
get a bit repetitive at times. Even some cross-over in the articles. Almost
all articles on programmers, publishers etc are UK-centric, but some
Japanese content as well.

Very little Apple (II etc) content, no TRS-80 at all, unfortunately. And
whilst I get a little bored reading about Dizzy, Manic Miner and Jet Set
Willy, I still enjoy it on the balance of things.

Regards,
