yeah striking out, most grocery stores don't even have video game mags anymore. I think it's on ebay gents. If I find one I will buy the lot and hook you guys hope. Hopefully there is a copy out there somewhere.

I'm not sure we even got it over here.  I have my favorites from back in the day, and each magazine would have different plus points.

I have to say though, the one copy of EGM I have is shit.  About a paragraph "review" of a game which was not much more than you'd get from the back of the box and a load of adverts.  It was more like a catalogue.

A couple of other UK magazines are similar, with 90% screenshots and little content (C+VG) and entertaining but lowbrow (Total Nintendo).

One of my favorites was Zone though.  I can still chuckle at some of that shit today.  Oh, and Super Play.  Bringing me news from Japan, and those sweet Will Overton covers.

I emailed Future to see what was up with my order. They returned my email a day later saying it had been cancelled. My local Barnes & Noble is out as well. eBay is my last resort, as it appears most issues are selling upwards of $25.

I am wondering what the print run was like, not finding it anywhere, Barnes and Noble, grocery stores. I think at this point Ebay is our best bet. Not sure it is worth that much when it will eventually get scanned. Sucks tho. I did find this really cool retro UK magazine and Barnes & Noble today. It reviewed a bunch of old school games, both of the "Crush" games made it to a top list of retro pinball game list (but didn't see any other turbo mentions). It was pretty sweet but wasn't worth $20 they were asking (ouch).

Retro Gamer magazine? Yeah, that's a pretty great magazine. They've got an iPad App, so you can download it there for around $5, I think.

They have a forum as well.  I have a few of these magazines, they're ok.  They got some stuff wrong/missing with their PC Engine 10 page article though.
