@Sketcz I learned as a rule growing up any magazine with the word 'Power' in it was pretty terrible. Sega Power, Amiga Power, they all did the above you said. It was crazy to watch.
@James-Bond Thanks, I might look into this. Does this mean the magazine today is less hard on games and shows more love for them?
@James-Bond "with a lasting legacy of a group of troublemakers that thought they were bigger than the magazine itself, and in the end had to be dealt with..."
I just wondered when this was? Sounds like the worst era.
@James-Bond Curious to know what the different iterations of the mag are by year and what are seen as the best ones?
@Sketcz Looking at those scores and it's certainly varied. Lost Eden is amazing, yet it scored so low. I never read the magazine but thanks for the heads up.

Re: Sega Announces New Hard-Boiled Sonic Audio Drama, Featuring Team Chaotix & "Lots Of Saxophone"
@Bigmanjones Most likely your retailer. Do you remember the games you got with the Cartoon Classics Pack?
Re: Strong Museum Of Play Acquires "Comprehensive Collection Of Atari Materials"
@Eocene84 I thought they'd want to preserve their history.
Re: Here's Why Official Dreamcast Magazine Never Got A Proper Final Issue
@SegaAges I went from Sega Power to Sega Magazine. Thank goodness the latter was a better magazine. 😆
Re: Here's Why Official Dreamcast Magazine Never Got A Proper Final Issue
@SegaAges I never read the Saturn one but I read The Official Sega Magazine. It was alright but it wasn't great.
Re: "Built On Theft And Plagiarism" - A Growing Number Of Game Developers Are Sick To Death Of Generative AI
Ah, another AI rant by Damo. 😂
Honestly, AI tools are great for a number of things but game development really should still to real game development.
Re: New 'Fatal Fury: Trilogy Collection' Brings Together Three Classic Fighting Games For The X68000 Z
Wow, I wasn't even aware software for the new machine was being released. That's cool.
Re: New MiSTer FPGA N64 'Turbo' Core Delivers 17.5 Percent Performance Boost
@gingerbeardman I take it they get a lot wrong?
Re: The 32X Version Of Virtua Racing Has Been Decompiled
This should be call. Maybe the frame rate will be perfected.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Is Getting A New Steam Version "To Provide An Improved Gameplay Experience"
This will be the third time it's been available for Steam. I'm not sure what the changes are to warrant this? 🤔
Re: Strong Museum Of Play Acquires "Comprehensive Collection Of Atari Materials"
So does Atari not want them now? 🤔

Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@James-Bond What years was that?

Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@James-Bond So 2004 up until a few years ago wasn't very good or was there a worst era?
Re: The Massively Controversial Barbarian Is Getting A New Fan-Made Port For Atari Computers
"Will Maria Whittaker come out of retirement for the cover photo"
When you say retirement you mean she's stopped being a psychologist? 🤔

Re: Hewson's Puzzle Platformer 'Nebulus' Is Getting A Brand New Cartridge Release For The Game Boy Advance
Wow, that game is hard. Fun though.
Re: Anniversary: "Hail To The King, Baby" - Duke Nukem 3D Has Officially Turned 30 Years Old
Such a great game, one that hasn't been bettered with the sequels that came after. 👍
Re: Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon Is Being Unofficially Ported To Genesis / Mega Drive
Not bad at all. Well done!
Re: Gunbird And Rival Turf Are Coming To Polymega, Along With This Rare Arcade-Only Fighter
That Rival Turf collection looks rather nice.
Re: "The Fine Arts Were Always A Massive Grift" - Controversial Earthworm Jim Creator Goes All-In On Generative AI
@ckoerner That doesn't answer my question.
Re: "The Fine Arts Were Always A Massive Grift" - Controversial Earthworm Jim Creator Goes All-In On Generative AI
He's not exactly wrong. The problem he fails to point out is that AI is making it easier for anybody to think they can be an artist so we get slop.
@jesse_dylan Different opinions are nice! 😉
@Razieluigi "I love that these right-wingers will spend their days freaking out about immigrants taking their jobs"
Would you rather hear from left wingers? 🤦♂️
@ckoerner What kind of a guy is he? Generalising much?
Re: FPGA-Based Atari ST Mini Is Here, But The Initial Production Run Is A Mere Five Units
A shame it can't be mass produced. There's probably an audience for it.
Re: Apparently, The PSP Counts As A Failure To Some People Now
"A debate has broken out on social media about the "failure" of Sony's PlayStation Portable" = Nintendo fans.
If PSP was a failure then so was the DS. 😆
Re: Native PC Ports Of PS2 Games Could Be On The Way Thanks To New Recompilation "Experiment"
No more excuses from Disney about a remaster of Revenge of the Sith. 😉

Re: 3D Pioneer Graeme Baird Has Passed Away
Rest in peace, some amazing work.
Re: Ever Wanted To Play Sonic R Like A Platformer? You Should Try Out This New Saturn Mod
That's really cool, a nice option. 👍
@PopetheRev28 It takes inspiration from Mario Galaxy.
Re: This Shinobi Hack Gives The Master System Port A Shot In The Arm
The port changes were an improvement. Shinobi is a difficult game to run however if you don't own a Mark 1 Master System. Not sure why. 🤔
Re: "They Did Not Seem Like A Very Happy Bunch" - Lost Beavis And Butt-Head Title Resurfaces On PS1
It looks very PS1 for sure. 🤔

Great, Sega need to sell it now. 👍
Re: Community Challenge: Can You Overcome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Deadly Technodrome Level?

Re: Interview: "Everything Was Turned Up To Eleven" - Uncovering The Epic Story Behind Mortal Kombat's Unforgettable Audio
Everyone running into the street and yelling "Mortal Kombat!" 😂
Re: "History In The Making" - New PS3 Mod Unlocks "Impossible" Levels Of Performance, And Sony Can't Do Anything About It
@MontyMole More like can it run Crysis? 😉
Re: Sega Announces New Hard-Boiled Sonic Audio Drama, Featuring Team Chaotix & "Lots Of Saxophone"
@Bigmanjones Huh? There was three games that were part of the Cartoon Classics Pack, not 21.
Re: A New Framework For Making Sonic Fangames Is Currently In The Works, From The Creator Of Sonic CDX
@Zedecks That's my favourite as well although I'll take Sonic 1's sprite over Mania's.
Re: A New Framework For Making Sonic Fangames Is Currently In The Works, From The Creator Of Sonic CDX
@AtlasLivesAgain Really? That would be cool. Was never a fan of the Sonic Mania sprite.
Re: Audiogenic And ELSPA Founder Peter Calver Has Passed Away
Bubble and Squeak is a terrific game and deserves more praise. Rest in peace Peter Calver. 😪
Re: A Second Prototype For Heart Of Darkness On Saturn Has Been Discovered (Or Has It?)
We need a remaster.
Re: "We Are Going Where No Slamming Death Metal Band Has Gone Before" - Party Cannon Is Releasing An Album On The N64
@Johnny_Arthur For collector's, not people who want to listen to music. 😆
Re: Argonaut Has An "Exciting Announcement" Coming "Very Soon"
Croc 2 remaster? A collection of their older games remastered?
Re: A New Framework For Making Sonic Fangames Is Currently In The Works, From The Creator Of Sonic CDX
It would be nice to have the option to change the Sonic sprite for different game versions.
Re: Atari's Grand Hotel Plan Will Be A "Glowing Monolith Of Light And Motion" In Downtown Phoenix
@Johnny_Arthur Atari is doing a lot of good business decisions recently but stuff like a hotel is not going to work.
Re: Sega Announces New Hard-Boiled Sonic Audio Drama, Featuring Team Chaotix & "Lots Of Saxophone"
This is so random but might work. 🤔
@Thomystic Don't give them ideas! 😆
@Bigmanjones Where's it from exactly? Is his avatar a logo?
Re: Super Mario 64 Has Got Another Fanmade PC Port, From The Harbour Masters Team
@N00BiSH Y'know...I think Nintendo fans are rubbing off on me in a bad way. Thanks for pointing that out, yikes. 😆
Re: Earthworm Jim Was Based On This Legendary (And Elusive) Game Journalist
I guess it kind of looks like him... 🤔
Re: Huge Eyes? Big Head? Lara Croft Almost Looked Very Different For Her Japanese Debut
Yea, I don't think everything needs a design localisation. 😆
Re: "I Needed Money" - Fatboy Slim Opens Up On The Smurfs Video Game Soundtrack That Never Was
@cdog555 Smurfs isn't considered cool, especially a licenced Smurfs video game but I disagree with him.
Re: Hyperkin Says A Handheld N64 Could "Potentially" Be On The Way, But It Won't Be Anytime Soon
No doubt it will break out of the box like their Retron 5... 🤦♂️
Re: The "Hot Coffee" That Never Was - Did Rockstar's Co-Founders Put A Lewd Secret In This PS1 Football Game?
@MontyMole With a name like that he should have been front and centre. 🤣
