Hi there, my name is Andy, I'm from Belgium.
I spend most of my free time digitising and restoring classic video game magazines, mostly from the UK.
I've been doing this for nearly 20 years now and I'm here to share my passion for these magazines with others.
I love to read and talk about gaming memories from years gone by.

My main hobbies are gaming, both modern and retro gaming, as well as Japanese, South Korean and classic Hong Kong cinema.

I lost interest in most sports games over the years, despite playing tons of Basketball and Hockey games back in the 90's.

But somehow Golf has remained one of my favourite games, despite never even wanting to watch a real match. 😅

The original Everybody's Golf is by Camelot, the makers of the Shining Series for Sega and did indeed move on to Mario Golf and Tennis:

From the second game onward, the series was developed by Clap Hanz.

I really love finding these kinds of articles, especially when they included interviews and such.
So much info gets lost over time as physical magazines just disappear.

I'm slowly finishing issue 79, which is another incredible issue.
It has a 5 page tips section with beautiful MGS artwork as well as a 6 page review for it as well.

The mid to late 90's were something incredibly special.

Sorry if I’m quiet for a bit. Last night I started getting pain again in my side.
Got worse and worse and I wasn’t able to sleep at all till 7am.
Kindney stones again. Time pieces probably but the pain is just as bad.
Slept most of the day and now the pain is starting again, so tonight will be hell again. Not to mention the nausea.

Thanks for all the well wishes.
I had a pretty quiet night last night and slept for a good 9 hours, on top of sleeping basically all day yesterday.
Hoping the worst is yet again behind me.
Still quite a bit of residual pain and soreness, but nothing compared to what came before.

So I'm gonna take it really easy and lay down on the sofa and get some more sleep after I put up a new magazine from the backlog.

@imalcolm
Thank you!
It's a real nightmare.

This last bout lasted 15 hours straight.
At some point it just becomes to much to deal with and you just want it to end no matter what.

This is the 3rd time in barely 4 weeks now, after the initial one at the end of February.
Really scared that a there will be more as I just can't take it anymore...

Review for Point Blank on PSone from GamesMaster 70 - July 1998 (UK)

Another one of those insanely fun multiplayer games on the PSone.
The system was full of underrated gems like this that didn't get much mainstream coverage.

Review for Circuit Breakers on PSone from GamesMaster 70 - July 1998 (UK)

This is one of those games that I don't see anyone talking about anymore, but if you are looking for a super fun multiplayer game, be sure to give this one a try as it was one of my favourites back in the day.

There was a somewhat similar one on PS2/Xbox, but I can't immediately recall it's name...

Been diving deep into shoot em ups this past week, so I was very pleasantly surprised that I was able to find a brand new copy of Shikhondo Soul Eater on PlayStation 4 for just a bit over its original price.
Especially as this one was quite hard to find at one point and the price had shot up.

Super happy with this pickup.
I saw the Japanese version on Play-Asia last month go for something like €180 and thought I had completely missed the boat on it.

Then I come across a local seller that is selling the Strictly Rare version for €55, so I jumped on that. 🥰

One more which came out of nowhere for me.

Years ago I played a random medieval game on GamePass just because it had a weekly point bonus. It was something that never would have caught my eye otherwise and I went it thinking it would be some awful low budged drek.

What I didn't expect was how funny it ended up being.

Soon I forgot the name, but the humour stuck with me.
Just found it it was The Bard's Tale by Inxile!
So I had to grab it on PS4.
Wonder where 2 and 3 are...

Mac users: if you're a fan of The Unarchiver but you're annoyed by the analytics and stuff the new owners have been putting in, give Keka a try. It's free (or $7 on the app store), and so far it seems to support pretty much anything The Unarchiver does.

Another vote for Keka.
I've been using it to create my uncompressed cbz files for years now. 😊

@GabeMoralesVR
Haha, luckily I don't have any of those issues.
I kinda turned away from US magazines when they started going all in on Playstation and downplaying anything Sega was putting out.
The French Joypad and UK CVG were a lot more balanced and nowhere near as biased.
They just recommended good games, no matter what system they were on or which art style they used. 😅

@vencabot

I guess it's different for everyone, but I still enjoy trying to perfect a route and getting just a few more points till this day, same way as I'm still playing Sega Rally and trying to perfect those 4 tracks all these years later.
Somehow, there's so much nuance and subtlety in both of these that they keep me engaged, nearly 30 years later. 😁
Then again, I grew up on 70's and early 80's arcade cabinets, so score chasing is basically in my DNA.
