Weird Dreams! Had this on my ST back in the day. I still fire it up on an emulator to hear the music now and again. Very odd game but the surreal visuals created a bit of a buzz back in the late 80’s.
Like many who will have memories of this time, I was hooked on the Mean Machines section in the back of C&VG so when they announced a standalone magazine I couldn’t get enough. I still have those 24 issues, plus the four ‘Complete Guide to Consoles’ from back then. Agree with what’s been said that it was never quite the same once it split. I had moved on to the SNES from my Megadrive at that point and only got NMS, so was probably missing out. That and other magazines like Super Play and EGM imports also grabbing my attention, plus of course Edge launched. I know everyone thinks their formative years are the best time to do something ever, but I’m certain you’ll never see a time like that again. 16-Bit computers in the UK and onset of Japanese consoles starting with the PC Engine, grey importing and all these crazy guys who lived to write about it all for kids like us. You can’t beat the years 1987-1996 for gaming in my opinion.
