Does anyone have a link to the article or a text version, or a copy they want to send me of issue 53?  The article I'm interesting in reading is "We uncover one of NEC’s biggest failures: the PC-FX" 

Here's what the cover looks like;

Can't you buy an electronic version of that issue?  You definitely can if you have an iPhone or iPad.  Not sure if you can otherwise...

I tried, but the link is broken.

[EDIT] For anyone that is interested in reading the article, I found this link.  Downloading the pdf now.  Free host so the download feels like I'm on dial-up.

I can't say it was a success, but that makes me sad.  :(

Retro Gamer is currently collecting a poll on the forums for use in the mag.
Looking for input on peoples favorite PCE games...

Thought I'd share since it's good to see some (if any) coverage.  I pestered one of the editors to do a feature on Working Designs.  Got a reply... "We'll try..."

If you've got an account, maybe you should link 'em our Top Turbo Games thread. That's just US releases though. Rondo is hard to beat, surprised no one there mentioned it yet. Gate and Lords, Ys and Xanadu... Dammit, I may have to sign up over there. :)
