Fairly sad state of affairs. Was never a reader as more American centric but with the number of print magazines dwindling to probably single digits soon, if not there already. Who will be the last one standing? Such a contrast to the 80s 90s and even early 2000s in terms of choice. There is something still genuinely authentic about holding a magazine in your hand than an online website. Was pleasantly surprised to discover Amiga Addict recently for first time in the newsagents even though it has been going for nearly three years!
Every musical track on Super Castlevania IV is engrained into my mind. I even used the intro music with the headstone to scare the neighbours with one Halloween night playing in the background on a spooky October in the early 90s recorded professionally onto a cassette tape! Really added to the atmosphere of that title back in the 16 bit days.
As for Castlevania prices crazy money some of them, appreciate more than gold, just like Lego and most Nintendo plus Square Enix games. Saw a mint Symphony of the Night with Art cards go for wild money recently. Must be one of, if not the most consistent series for appreciation from initial retail value.
Oh wow I am super excited about this so much so just registered to comment. X Out is a great horizontal scroller with loads of customization. Z Out is even better as a straight R Type Amiga flavoured original and a killer piano musical intro.

Re: Man Sets Record For Most Gaming Consoles Connected To A Single TV
How can one man with so many systems be so wrong the answer is of course Super Nintendo! Impressive setup though! Must be a nightmare to reorganise!
