Nick Veitch still works at Future, I thought Retro Gamer was from another company (?)

Their research seems ok though, the Sega history was good enough, I doubt they'll have space for much info on modern-classic/A1/Peg though :-?

two probs there - 1 - cost (now that tapes are obsolete it'd cost lots), and 2 - If they put a Spectrum tape on the cover how many C64 owners would write in and complain?

Their Gremlin disk was great, but it must be tough to come up with that kinda stuff all the time ... I don't want to sound negative (reading my last post) but there's only so much they can do while staying profitable.

At least with Amigas it's easy to put ADFs back to disk and play this kinda stuff for real :-)

It's worth it if you enjoy a spread of old computers (they cover everything), not worth it if you're only into one (can find 'scene' stuff thats better and more specialised easily on the web).  

They also have lots of Sinclair Spectrum content that won't mean much to US readers.
