It's a bit early but I can't be bothered to wait.

Reviews of Monster Lair and Rastan Saga II! One of them is great!

The main thing that concerns me about producing something as a 'sellable' hardcopy are the pitfalls of copyright with some of the images I use. It's one thing to grab images from TV etc for a free online mag, but when you are essentially making money from it...not so straightforward.

Maybe, in the future, I could make a redesigned compilation which is set up for print (i.e. smaller fonts, printer's spreads, bleeds and cut marks etc) that could be downloaded and taken to a copy place.

Issuu says that print services are coming soon, hopefully not at federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prices.

I would love to have hard copies of all the PCE Gamer mags.

Also, this issue was great.  The smart bomb top 5 was great, especially since I just played Tatsujin and Kyoyokyoktyoroirtohijreogij Tiger a little bit ago.

The layout is nice.  And the Overly complicated scoring system is the best.

I vote you review Energy next.

Thats what you should do.  Review a game everyone basically hates/makes fun of. 

Now I really gotta port hydlide, so you can review that!

Bummer about Joe getting bored with Oath in Felghana :cry:  I got sucked into the original PC version.......& then got sucked into the PSP version.  It's still basically a top down game though, I don't quite consider it 3D, but, that's just me.  It'd be wierd to play Ys truly in 3D, like, 3rd person, or worse, 1st person!  Anyhoo, I actually wish the levels were longer, & I loved the Metroidvania elements in it.  Gotta be my favorite Ys next to Ys Origin.

Anyways, I hope we get out Mysterious Song by the next issue, that would be cool.

I have not read this yet because I fear that the Rastan Saga II review will be...harsh. :)
