Never played the DS version. I do know that there is no 1st person gameplay in the original Director's Cut. The link works fine for me. Wonder what is wrong with it.

First of all welcome to Retromags, I am sure everyone is anxious to see the list of what you have available. I am sure there will be some members willing to help out with scanning and hopefully they will either post here or contact you with a PM about it.

You will be rewarded so much more if you play the games on the actual hardware than an emulator. Keep an eye on ebay, there have been systems with plenty of games go for around $50 to $100 (although I have yet to see one have the digital video cartridge at that price).

It has happened. The one event many have stated that could never come to pass, has. One of the most coveted magazines in gaming history, looked upon with bother reverence for it's place in history and for some, fear for the fact that they may never see it in any form without spending a lot of money to acquire it. Ladies and gentleman, Retromags with the hard work and effort of Kitsune is proud to present to you: Electronic Games Magazine, Winter 1981, Premiere Issue! Yes, that is the first issue of Electronic Games, from almost 28 years ago. Think about that, for most of us here that is almost as old as we are, and for some, it is older than us. Here is the interview that kitsune has given us covering the trials and tribulations of acquiring this issue, for more, please follow the link at the bottom: For more of kitsunes coverage of the release of Electronic Games #1, please go here.

The big difference for me was playing in Arrange mode and having some scenes re-rendered from different angles and new item placement and I believe enemies were moved around to change it up. To help out here is a bit of info on the Director's Cut.

I am thinking it is that the tools are that good. I don't have the game yet so I am not sure and haven't found much information on this subject.

Here is some detailed information on the quality of printing that you will receive when ordering a printed copy of Classic Video Gamer Magazine as quoted from Mike: For those that don't know, the paper stock is pretty similar to that used by Gamefan (and presumeably, Gamers Republic and Play) in that it is extremely well designed for holding printed material and looking as good as possible. Definitely a magazine to watch out for (don't let this go by without ordering a copy as this could definitely turn into another case of not being able to get #1 in a few years because the print run was so low).

Thank you both for all of the hard work and effort going into this. It is greatly appreciated.

I am hoping for Pro Wrestling to be revived for the Wii or something, anything.

What does it take to be successful in the highly competitive world of gaming magazines/e-zine? Determination? Hard work? Passion? The team at Classic Video Gamer has those qualities and a layout that is very reminiscent of the late great Video Games and Computer Entertainment. You might even think while reading this, that VG&CE might have had a layout quite similar to that of ClassicVG if they had been able to stick around. The quality in layout starts at the cover, where it should, with two girls from Power Instincts Matrimelee appearing to be entertained by either Kim Kapwhan kicking out of the page or the two screen shots available, it is your choice which is right. King of Fighters, by Mike 'STGuy1040' P., the mashup series of fighting games from SNK, looking back, how many gamers remember seeing this when it first started and thought, that will never last? I did. I was wrong. Very wrong. Coming soon is number 12 in the KoF series! 12, that is quite a feat in todays market (or the market over the last many years to be honest). What does KoF 2k2 have that the newest iteration doesn't? How about Blue Mary for one and Mai Shuranai for seconds? Got your attention now? The pics chosen are full of action and show off the graphics of the game quite well, take a look at the number of playable characters in the player select screen (each one is detailed enough to be picked out by their pic)! Definitely a well written article and very interesting for those sitting on the fence about this title or those interested in some of the history behind the series. As far as returning characters in this version, you have to get your own copy of Classic Video Gamer to find out (you won't be disappointed). Double Dragon, most gamers will tell you that Billy and Jimmy Lee ended their gaming careers with Double Dragon V (a one on one fighting game that could have been better). Well, I am here to tell you, thanks to Mike, you would be wrong, they had at least one more game on Neo Geo, and it is again a one on one fighter this time with tagging gameplay starring the Brothers Dragon. Noise Factory (the developers) took a stagnant game idea and characters and made a competent, if ableit, different fighter, did they succeed where the previous iteration failed? What's On Tap? by Doug Dingus covers a very interesting homebrew title called Medieval Mayhem (similar to Warlords on Atari 2600 so if you are a fan of Warlords, I am sure you are already off to get a copy). Well written and informative, love the "experiment" that was set up for the game and the results were surely as fun as they were to read about. What is interesting about WoT? is that if I had viewed this on a web site, I would probably have blown right past it looking for other gaming information and would have missed out on what has shown to be a great game. Thank you very much Doug for this article, you did what a reviewer should do, you made me go from not caring to going to wanting the game. Classic Video Gamer Magazine is not your usual magazine, everything from the editor article to the ads in this issue (they have a couple of "Retrogaming Advertisements" that are just wonderful and fun little surprises that you wouldn't expect to see. I hope they continue this idea of putting classic ads in with current ads as much as possible (maybe if the future ads were related to the articles more?). Other great articles of interest include a Cybermorph review by Kevin Christensen with some interesting history for the title. Daniel Iacovelli offers up a very well written and informative review of Double Dragon for the Atari 7800 (who knew it was even released on the 7800?). If you were born recent enough that all you know is XBox 360 and PS3 and their Internet enabled capabilities, you should check out "The Playstation Underground" article to find out how us "old" people got demos in the "dark ages" (just remember, your 360 and PS3 weren't the first systems to go online, the Atari 2600 did it way back in the early 80's!). Are you an Alien Hominid fan? If so, you simply have to check out the review Mike has written, again, a game that would have been passed over (and has been many many times on websites touting it as a great game-how many times have you heard that from a site trying to appease a corporate sponsor?). The choice of screen shots are interesting and quite active, I am off to youtube to check out some video footage of this game now. If you have a Gamecube and haven't heard of this game, then get ClassicVGM and see why you should be playing this game already! World of Illusion review by Nathan, where to begin with such a great game and such a well laid out, well written article reviewing it? Great choice of pictures here (except the two spiderweb levels so close together, it would have been nice to see another non-pictured level instead). The screenshots really show off the graphic prowess of the Genesis with shading and details and the diversity of the levels facing Mickey and Donald in their adventure. Nathan really caught my interest with the information given and details talked about with what Sega was able to accomplish within a licensed game like this (why couldn't companies like Acclaim accomplish at least half of the fun you will experience with this game?). Gaming Republic is an interesting article for me, it is basically a bit of coverage of several games with straight forward info and a clear verdict on the game in question. Games covered include Q-Bert (Atari 2600), Laser Gates (Atari 2600), Doom (Atari Jaguar), Shadow of the Beast (for At...gotcha, this one is for Amiga) and Dragon the Bruce Lee Story (Atari Jaguar). Honest mini reviews to help you decide when you see these games in the wild on whether to buy or pass on it. I have never been to a gaming convention in my life (I did attend a small baseball trading card convention in my youth though) but after reading the Midwest Gaming Classic Report by Daniel Iacovelli I want to attend one of these. Interesting and sounds like it was a lot of fun. Mark Sabbatini covers Batari Basic, a wonderful program that brings programming the Atari 2600 to the masses with the simple to learn derivative of Basic itself, along with reviews for 12 games that were made with Batari Basic. Very interesting article, makes me wish I knew more about Basic programming. Mr. Sabbatini offers up help in getting the program running (from download to installation, etc). The games reviewed run from very good (Because, a puzzle game) to the rather bad (Calc, a calculator that can't do decimals) all of which though are testiments to the programmers that are trying. Think you can do better at programming? Get this issue, read the article, find out more about Batari Basic and prove it, I am sure ClassicVGM would be proud to review your blockbuster game. With only 20 pages to work with, I feel that Classic Video Gamer Magazine has accomplished something that most magazines lately couldn't with 5 times that many pages-they produced an entertaining fun to read magazine that I look forward to reading more of in the future. The ball is in your, the reader's, court on how ClassicVGM is handled in the future, support what I think of as a resurgence of VG&CE with your $2 per issue for a digital copy or you can pre-order your very own printed copy for $6.50 at www.classicvgm.com or sit on the sidelines and continue reading "leading" websites that continue to kill the classic print magazines for no reason other than the bottom line. Classic Video Gamer Magazine is available in PDF ($2.00) and in print ($6.50 pre-orders are open right now). http://www.classicvgm.com/

Via twitter, then off to Capcom-Unity, Resident Evil Directo's Cut for PSN has been dated for May 28th! $10 ain't too bad, higher than mos PSOne releases on the PSN though.

For those following this the backstory is here. Looks like Warner Bros is moving forward with a bid of $33 million as it was announced by Midway recently. So, from that it looks like Warner Bros is getting half of a company, not getting anything newer than pretty much the Mortal Kombat franchise. From that, it doesn't look like this is going to be over anytime soon and may just be entering further plot development for the drama known as The Life of Midway. All quotes thanks to VG247.com

Kotaku has pulled the relevant information for the new Ghostbusters game from the newest GiantBomb webcast show.

Capcom is going for the most coveted 3rd party company or something with their support for just about everything that can play games (where was your support for Game Gear, Lynx or the Atari Jaguar, huh Capcom?) http://kotaku.com/5265149/capcom-go-crazy-for-iphone-games At least 10 titles coming to the iPhone this year.

Have you met meppi yet? Just playing, I understand having games for a console that you don't have, it happens.

Very impressive. The number of Wii games I want now has gone up 1 for sure. I am glad they are actually doing something to the original games.

Very impressive Kitsune. If you haven't done so already, could you update your available issues when you get these in?

Could this be the rumored new system that Sega has been working on?

What do you get the Queen of the United Kingdom (thanks for the correct info there E-Day) if you are THQ and wanting to promote a new game? How about a gold plated Wii? http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged...yal-wii/1316670 Anyone else think that THQ could have spent the money instead on oh, I don't know, how about advertising or making the game better?

Eh, I don't think I even hit him like a masquito... I will try and build up somewhere else and come back.
