It seems like fate that the last Retro Gamer issue CD had something C64-related. Not just that, but a collection of (arguably) the 3 most famous C64 games ever. Written in the stars, or something.... :wink:

Still, it's no less shitty for the mass of subscribers out there left hanging, or the numerous freelancers such as Merman. Feel sorry for you chaps in situations like this. :(

It could be that, because of the ongoing administration difficulties, it is delayed in being exported. I could be completely wrong here (anyone here with knowledge of companies in administration feel free to correct me). :)

Having said that, obviously it has been released so if you don't manage to receive a copy, you could always try eBay or badger some absurdly generous person on here for it. Mine though is going nowhere. :lol:

Is that the Last Ninja-issue?

If it is it's pretty weird because I've seen that one on the shelves over here.

It's weird but recently I've been picking up old issues of RetroGamer and reading articles I skipped initially. I found this to be rather enjoyable as there was some interesting stuff to "rediscover" ...

... And I miss the mag now its gone. Bye bye RG. :(
