- I apologise for quoting the whole message...
-
- If I were you I would concentrate on slagging off other magazines that put 2
- 880k disks on the cover. This CD was excellent and quite revolutionary for an
- amiga mag, I for one would like to see it stay. It is obvious that Matt spent
- a long time working on it, and I feel his work is very justified... 650MG for
- a fiver with a mag as well is pretty excellent value for money if you ask me,
- so if you dont like one particular feature don't bloody use it. As for the
- lack of game demos there was plenty of other excellent games to try out
- including WatchTower, BlitzBombers etc.
-
- So Matt, when's the next CD? ;-)
