Really raving about Raid on Bungeling Bay

You might have noticed a recent J-OMG post regarding the final issue of Retroaction. Downloaded the PDF yet? Had a read through?

If you haven’t, let me entice you a bit.

Further down this post, you’ll find a big stitched-together panorama of my ‘Raid on Bungeling Bay’ article. I’ve made it…to give you an idea of Retroaction’s quality of page composition. I think Neil the editor did an incredible job with Retroaction. Many other retro PDF magazines (*including ones that charge money!) could learn a lot.

Now, a “Retro Gamer double shot” on Gabe FM…

Last month, I spent 2 weeks playing a classic arcade game to death. All I can tell you about it – is its genre. It’s another shmup (shoot ’em up). I played 5 of the game’s home ports, took screenshots galore, searched for obscure trivia…

And my latest “Why you must play…” appears in Retro Gamer’s August 2009 edition, which has just started arriving in Northern hemisphere letterboxes and newsagents.

Losing my “magazine article virginity”

I write all day at work (I’m a “radio creative” aka “I write radio ads”) but late last year, I felt the need to write about something else after hours.

The topic?
Pineapples.
No, no…  videogames.   Sorry.

And the one place I really, really wanted to get published was Retro Gamer.
