- Steve, Steve, Steve! Unless I'm totally in the dark about this, Atari
- Age was produced ONLY as a magazine (as in physically touchable, glossy,
- with turnable pages!!), and never do I recall hearing about it being made
- into textfiles! Maybe you're thinking of Z-Mag or something!?!?
- hmm..
-
- I wonder if >I< have EVERY issue they made. If they dropped like a fly I
- might have. If they warned an issue or two early that they were about to
- go belly up, I guess we just never got our subscriptions renewed.
-
-
- I still think it was a REALLY good magazine. FAR better than Ninblender
- Power(less) will ever be. I recall reading something in the mail section
- of A.Age where somebody asked "how do you get the game to do this trick?"
- and they replied "if we said, it wouldn't be a secret!"...
-
-
- Nintendo, on the other hand does things like: "press up, down, up, down,
- stand on your head, and pray this works... and then you should hear a
- 'bleep'. That's how to become invincible and start at the very last
- screen of the last level!"
-
- ugh.. N.Power just makes those games utterly worthless and
- challengless.
-
- If I had a map to Draconus (as in one I DIDN'T MAKE MYSELF, like you're
- SUPPOSED to in these types of games!) I'd never play it. I like the
- challenge.
-
- No wonder I don't care that my friend
- STILL hasn't returned my NES!! ;)
