We know it's tough to deal with the sorry state of arcades these days, but they're still thriving in Japan, and Konami has just announced one more reason to be jealous in the form of Road Fighters 3D. As you can see, that's actual 3D complete with 3D glasses, although the game can apparently also be played in 2D if you're not quite ready to experience "one of the most thrilling arcade racing experiences on the planet." Keeping up with other modern arcade machines, the game also has an online multiplayer mode, and it incorporates Konami's PASELI digital cash system so you don't have to worry about having enough change. Look for it to hit arcades in Japan by the end of the month.

Mean Machines was a leading multi-format gaming console magazine published by EMAP during the early ninties, eventually splitting into Mean Machines Sega and Nintendo Magazine System. Besides being a hugely influential magazine with authoritive coverage, Mean Machines had some damn fine gaming journalists through its run, with the likes of Julian Rignall (launch editor), Richard Leadbetter, Paul Davies, Radion Automatic and Gus Swan.
And now, Mean Machines issue 4 from January 1991 has been digitally preserved at Out-of-Print Archive, thanks to meppi, who scanned and edited this release. Four Mega Game reviews were chosen as online articles to accompany the release, including Megaman II (NES), Pinbot (NES), Snake Rattle ‘N’ Roll (NES) and Castle of Illusion (Master System). As well as that, inside the issue, you will find something quite rare indeed, a highly rated game for the ill fated Amstrad GX4000 console: Switchblade.
The magazine is available to download, in its entirety, and for free from the MM4 webpage at Out-of-Print Archive. There you will also find more details on the issue itself as well as links back to the Mean Machines magazine catalogue, where you will find the previous three issues.

We’ve all got lost in the woods at one time or another – I now I have – and now Horace has found himself in a similar predicament. Not only is Horace lost, though, but the “mystic woods” seem to be conspiring against him, resulting in Horace wandering around in, what seems to be, endless circles. Oh, my god, it’s the Blair Witch Project all over again. It’s up to you to help Horace survive the nightmare of the “mystic woods” and escape from its evil clutches.
Originally released on the Psion-3 series in 1995, Bob Smith has brought Horace back home with this conversion to the ZX Spectrum. The game can be found at Bob’s website, along with info and screenshots, and is available to download for free. While there, why not check out the other fantastic games from Bob, many of which were warmly received within the pages of Retroaction.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...zine-launches/
Atari User have just launched their inaugural issue 1 (vol 1). No, not that Atari User, this Atari User, a brand new, completely different edition with the same name. However, just like the Atari User of old, this new ezine covers all things Atari, from the classic gaming consoles to the home computers, with the likes of news, features and reviews.
Issue 1 of the “world’s only monthly magazine” dedicated to the Atari range contains a nice balance of content with news, features and reviews. Even though we’ve already read about these developments in gaming history, the first big feature in Atari User, ‘The Birth of the Atari ST’, is a well written piece of journalism.
The notorious Atari 2600 game, Custer’s Revenge – which featured in Retroaction issue 3’s ‘How to Cause A Complete Controversy’ – is up next in the ‘What Was All the Scandal About?’ feature. Again, despite being well written, the article doesn’t really give anything new on the subject, admittedly because of having read Retroaction’s fine piece that was written by Ack.
However, the content does pick up with the likes of ‘Going Floppy, Atari as it should be….’, which is a fantastic look at the various media formats used to hold Atari games through the years. It’s also nice to see some historical reading concerning the UK.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...eptember-1990/
‘Back in Time’ is my monthly feature over at Out-of-Print Archive where I look back at the classic video gaming magazines twenty years ago this month. This month, it’s September 1990 when the likes of Computer & Video Games reigned supreme as the leading multi-format magazine, Amstrad launched their new GX4000 games console, The Games Machine magazine bowed out, and a sleek black 16-bit gaming console was about to hit the UK.
As usual, the feature comes with a selection of articles that were chosen from four of the magazines covered and are available to read online: CU Amiga’s review of Corporation on the Amiga, YC’s review of Time Machine on the C64, Zero’s review of Operation Stealth on the Atari ST, and S (The Sega mag) special feature on the Mega Drive.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...amer-issue-81/
It was with mixed feelings that I laid eyes on issue 81 of Retro Gamer. Joy that Laser Squad, one of my favourite games, featured on the front cover along with an excellent interview with Julian Gollop, and slight disappointment that I had something similar planned for Retroaction over a year ago, but it was not to be, despite laying most of the ground work of the ‘mega’ feature and questions for JG. Ah, well, I can finally see what might have been. Love the cover, although I don’t know why it’s a cassette tape case because Laser Squad shipped in a small-ish box. However, I never ever thought I would see Laser Squad featured on any ezine cover, let alone a commercial magazine – although, it nearly made it to the Amstrad Action tribute cover, albeit the PC image (which I prefer and use a cropped part of that as my avatar), and would have certainly made it to that Laser Squad issue of Retroaction. But I digress… Great cover, great article, great guy.
Elsewhere in the issue, we are introduced to a new feature called ‘Future Classics’, where the guys take a look at Metroid Zero Mission. It will be interesting to see how the readers take to the introduction of the last generation games (i.e. GameCube, PS2, Xbox) as there are always arguments about the magazine covering newer stuff. Other fine features within the issue include the ‘The History of: Wizards & Warriors’, ‘The Ultimate Guide to… The Revenge of Shinobi’, ‘The Making of… Day of the Tentacle’, the excellent ‘Back to the 80s/90s’ column,
and much more.
