Sweet! I sent you a email a couple of weeks ago (I didn't know you were a member here since I got in here like.. yesterday) ranting on about how much I liked the first one so I'm pleased to see that you didn't put the project to rest. :)

Indeed, your letter is on this issue's feedback page:)

I really liked Joe's review of G.I. Joe (arcade)! I really loved that game! My first time playing that game is one of my most memorable gaming experiences! I only had a limited supply of quarters, so it was a pretty intense experience!

Just a note on the Snake Eyes version in the game: I believe the Snake Eyes used in the game was the current figure at the time. link (http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snakeeyes4.shtml) There was a 12" version of the figure as well, and I owned both back then.

The characters used in the game were mixed and matched from various years. Roadblock (http://www.yojoe.com/action/86/roadblock2.shtml) was from 1986. Duke (http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/duke3.shtml) was from 1992. Scarlett (http://www.yojoe.com/action/82/scarlett.shtml) dated all the way back to the original 3 3/4 series from 1982/83.

EDIT ~ The same version of Snake Eyes is a playable character in G.I. Joe: Atlantis Factor on NES

Thank you SP! It's like I'm living in 1991 every time I read your mag.

Anyway, I understand where you're coming from with Dragon Spirit. It is not, by any means, one of the greats, but it does have a charm to it. I still haven't been able to kill the final boss and was wondering if you've been able to clear it.

Keep up the great work, SP! :clap:

My favorite part? I made it into the Feedback section. Huzah!  :dance:

The Ninja Spirit review was spot on. Except that ninjas are cooler.

Great job, sunteam_paul. Can't wait for the next one.

When you're reading the magazine, there's a link above it for downloading.  You'll need to create an account with 'em, though, but that's free and painless.
