Launching a single format magazine 2 years after the machine had been replaced would be regarded by some as a brave move. Nonetheless that's exactly what Impact Magazines did with the NES and N-Force in mid-1993.

Join us as we find out how that turned out and enjoy a gaming heaven by Ocean based on a movie licence. And a gaming hell by Ocean based on a movie licence. Also, how much should you price a compilation of 4 £2.99 games at? The answer may shock you!

"If Gamesmaster can have a magazine so can we" cried Games World in 1994 and they got notorious not a journalist Dave "The Games Animal" Perry to edit it. Do they manage to review every game on over 10 formats as claimed? How did Dave think 132 pages of a magazine should be filled and just what is the hottest fighting game of 1994 according to the king of beat em ups? Elsewhere the gaming heaven is as remarkable for its hardware as its software and the gaming hell represents possible redemption for a publisher we've seen before in this same slot.

Yesterzine 43 - "Fifteen Hired Goons"

Posted on 29th July, 2022

2002, possibly the last big magazine launch. GamesTM came out fighting in one of the best months for games there ever was. The gaming heaven is a legendary series coming of age, the gaming hell is another series doing the opposite. Oh and we answer the question "What is retro?". Because why not?

In 1996, Formula One finally got the licenced game my 15 year old inner racing driver always wanted. But how does my 41 year old's inner 16 year old's racing driver feel about it now? Also in enduring changes CVG muse about people playing games against other people who might not even be in the same room using a magic thing called "The Internet". Elsewhere, Taito haven't got the memo about technological progress and I become a winner.

Mysterious Cart - The Return!

Posted on 4th March, 2022

On a journey deep into uncharted waters I found a mysterious Mega Drive cartridge, its writing Chinese, its contents unknown, its label poorly printed and its cartridge interface 32-pins. Because otherwise it wouldn't work.

In 1992 many things were different. EA Sports was the Electronic Arts Sports Network, Red Dwarf was good, The Running Man was an up to date licence that someone didn't bother to licence, a top 10 of bad games had a worthy winner and I was bad at shooting games... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aArjXUGH4Og
