Title: Retro Gamer Magazine - Issue 53
Post by: FiftyQuid on 10/22/2012, 09:51 PM
Does anyone have a link to the article or a text version, or a copy they want to send me of issue 53?  The article I'm interesting in reading is "We uncover one of NEC's biggest failures: the PC-FX" 

Here's what the cover looks like;

Can't you buy an electronic version of that issue?  You definitely can if you have an iPhone or iPad.  Not sure if you can otherwise...

I tried, but the link is broken.

[EDIT] For anyone that is interested in reading the article, I found this link.  Downloading the pdf now.  Free host so the download feels like I'm on dial-up.

I can't say it was a success, but that makes me sad.  :(

Retro Gamer is currently collecting a poll on the forums for use in the mag.
Looking for input on peoples favorite PCE games...

Thought I'd share since it's good to see some (if any) coverage.  I pestered one of the editors to do a feature on Working Designs.  Got a reply... "We'll try..."

If you've got an account, maybe you should link 'em our Top Turbo Games (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=12498.0) thread. That's just US releases though. Rondo is hard to beat, surprised no one there mentioned it yet. Gate and Lords, Ys and Xanadu... Dammit, I may have to sign up over there. :)
