BURNING NOSTALGIA
Dear Retro Gamer,
You remain my favourite magazine, and amazing articles like the one on Turrican in issue 214 really help keep that nostalgic magic burning. Turrican in its brilliant 8-bit incarnation on the C64 was one of my many tape-based starting points in gaming, fuelled in no small part by the brilliant loading screens and music. Is there any chance of running a Top 20 or articles of a similar nature? It would be greatly appreciated, especially if you covered the brilliant artistic efforts by Codemasters, Ocean and Apex. Also, any Creatures-related content wouldn’t go amiss. Cheers and continue the great work!

» [C64] Look how dynamic this loading screen is. No wonder it left a big impact on Robbie.
We’re glad you’re enjoying the magazine, Robbie. We’ve actually got a music article in this very issue that you might find interesting. Otherwise we could certainly run a Top 20 on loading screens and music tracks if we can get some suitable developer input.
DREAM PLUG
Hi Retro Gamer, I am part of the team of contributors for the Dreamcast Junkyard website. I was just wondering if it would be possible to get a little note in the mag plugging our ‘Top 200 Games Of The Dreamcast Vote’? Even if just on the letters page. We’ve run this poll several times before but it hasn’t been updated since 2016, so we launched the latest recount/revote this year. The poll itself is staying open until the end of March and it would be fantastic if you could feature it, as we want as wide a voting field as possible.
