And yet again a reason ..... RETRO GAMER MAG' !

I have tried to order 4 issues for a total of 20£:
Shipping Method

        * Standard £ 18.75

A little trip to Google, typing in french: "38.75£ en €" which gives me 38.75 £ RU = 46.3712744 € so around 12€/piece, sorry for the wrong estimate   

I think it should be more interesting to subscribe for one year.

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).

I don't know where you live in Belgium, but it's sold at IMS if you have one close to you.

Just to give an idea of how the latest issue of RG, #81, looks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imfDrdew8l8

Uhhh, yes, I suppose so.

...just got the latest issue today ... MISSILE COMMAND in cover     



 

[jcp]

I've got mine today, and YES  .

edit : Bruno, you don't have a Missile Command cab yet, right ? Or perhaps, you dislike the game  ?

[DarthNuno]

Well, I really like MC, but obviously not enough to be in my 'must have' list... but wait, of course it's on my 'nice to have list' 
So much cabs' to collect

Hey fellows,
after I saw this thread here and recognized, that I slowly run out of reading material, I thought I'll give the Retro Gamer a try and ordered two issues. They arrived today and I can't wait to read them. After taking a first look into the mags I must say: I like it! Thanks for the tip!
Btw. Shipping wasn't that much money. I paid about 20 Euros for two issues shipping included. I think it's totally worth that money.

[ckong]

you will enjoy them, great mags.

In the Missile Command issue, MC world champion said there are maximum 10 MC upright cabs left in the UK...

[level42]

Well, could be of course. Do you think it's more ?

I have that issue too, great stuff about MC. What struck me that while they (correctly of course) say that the A8 conversion is the best, they fail to mention that it is also one of the few (only ?) that supports a trackball like it is supposed to be (so _not_ emulating joystick commands).

This makes it stand out even further above all the others

I also read that he had had Dave Theurer sign the marquee. I was thinking about wether I would actually like that or not....what do you guys think, would you have your favorite game's marquee signed by (one of) the people behind the game ? While it's of course very cool on one side, it's also a bit "in the face" to choose that location...

[Q*ris]

I think they are not THAT rare... there was one on Jamma+ 2 months ago for 550£ which is a really nice price if there are really only 10 available in the whole country.

Regarding the marquee signing, I had the same thought as level42 and I think I'd like it better on the sideart...but then it's much more difficult to send by mail  
Anyway, it has to be on a part of the cab, much more interesting than on a piece of paper imho.
In this case I was thinking that maybe if you're trying to break a world record, it must be great to have a little word of your "mentor" just above your head so you can easily read it before each try to encourage you.

Tony's version of MC is slightly customised too (tainted glass, glass marquee, special writing on the coin stickers) so I guess, he doesn't really care for sticking as close as possible to the original cab as we do. He just want a nice looking and effective machine.

i'm no fan of that signing stuff at all, especially when it's in an extremely visible area. there are guys who worship their signed control panels - that would be a no go for me!

[DarthNuno]

I'm a huge fan of signing stuff  It gives your games or whatever a little bit 'more special' than the other 
Two years ago I missed the opportunity to have my Star Wars cockpit signed by ...Dave Prowse himself 
Fortunately I got a lof of stuff signed by Don Bluth and the DL Team
