Anyone here buy this magazine? I used to get it at Fry's electronics but they seemed to stopped carrying it. Tower records and Barnes and Noble also used to carry it. Trying to find a place where I can buy it. I'm in CA btw.

Barnes and Noble still carry it in my neck of the woods (Seattle).

TBH I keep getting the magazine but the constant focus on 80's computer games on the Spectrum and Commodore that the Limeys love so much is starting to make me question if I should keep buying it. Discussion about anything BUT that stuff is getting rarer and rarer every issue.

Hmm I'll have to check other Barnes And Noble stores around me then. Haven't seen it at the one near me in a while.

I used to buy these from Borders since an American subscription is about as much as a used 3DS. Then Borders closed down, along with nearly every other bookstore in the area.
America: Where buying new books is a sin against nature.

Looks interesting but like others said, I don't want to pay the cost of a subscription. And I live in the middle of no where without a single bookstore.

No joke, I've thought about doing something like that, something similar to Ray Barnholt's Scroll magazine. I think there could actually be a legit market for it at this point.

Are there books-a-millions there in CA? They carry it

Fun fact. That little yellow guy came from his own game Chack n' Pop, and was even the origin of many of the enemies you see in Bubble Bobble

Well with proper marketing the lonsonerdy crowd would buy it in droves

There's a reason no one ever talks about Chack'n Pop compared to Bubble Bobble. It's really fucking weird. Something like blowing bubbles to trap monsters then pop them so they turn into fruit seems like a perfectly normal premise in comparison.
