Heh, I remember when Day of the Tenticle was released I was at a computer fair and they were handing out demo CD's of the game (smart, I think it was a new idea then) that smelled like hell (deliberately).

I think I did play the beginning of the game, it was fun but I never seriously went through it.

The Ms.Pac article has too much MAME screenshots and NO cabinet pictures ? WTF ?
Cool that they have some original "designs" though, although it's a bit hard to see what they actually are.

Day of the Tenticle is GREAT! I love that game, the animation, character design and voice acting are top notch, like most lucasart adventures.

This magazine also seems to be great, too bad it isn't available over here. I guess i will have to subscribe.

OK, I watched the video again on full screen and there are some interesting screenshots in there of Crazy Otto.

I'm not keeping up with MAME, but I'm pretty sure no-one has the original Crazy Otto ROMs ?

I may have to order this copy because I've got a Ms.Pac.

You can order separate issues as well it's not that expensive.

Day of the Tentacle  :-* :-*

The best graphic adventure after Monkey Island 1 & 2 IMO ...  :spaceace:

Damn, look at this thread on BYOAC. I completely missed it ! They had Crazy Otto running on a show on the US east-coast !

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=101193.0

WOW !

I hope someone dumped the ROMS ! ;) ;)

Pretty cool picture of the GCC people in front of a few of their products: Quantum,Ms.Pac,Food Fight. Not sure if they had anything to do with Jr.Pac though ?

This magazine seems really cool, but shipping costs to Belgium are equal to the cost of the magazine, damned postal services, around 14€ per issue is really too much, and they do not even decrease the shipping costs when I buy one issue or 5 (5 times the shipping costs, wow).

Again, get a subscription. I pay something like GBP 70 for 13 issues, delivered to Holland.

Are you sure about the shipping cost? Well, I'm a subscriber since few years and I don't remember paying so much expensive shipping cost? So I think it a lot cheaper each time I renewal it every year... that would explains  :roll:
Anyway I do not regret! This mag is awesome! Not enough arcade stuff, but so many other things  :-*

It's 5 pound for the magazine and 3,50 pound for shipping, so totally 8,5 UKP which is a little over 10 Euro's, not 14.
I think that's pretty reasonable for such a professional looking magazine which has a rather small target audience.

You can also get an electronic version IIRC AND there's a compilation DVD available of past issues.
