PICKS OF THE MONTH
DARRAN
Super Pocket
We don’t have room to cover the Super Pockets, but rest assured they’re both good buys. I’m loving the Atari version.
NICK
Slopecrashers
Why don’t developers do more snowboarding games? Because this makes me wish the SSX era had never ended.

Retro Games Ltd has hit a solid groove with its plug-and-play retro consoles based on classic computers, and its latest is sure to be of interest to many readers. The Spectrum is essentially a full-sized replica of the original model of the machine, with 48 built-in games and support for modern features such as HDMI output and USB controllers. We said it when we played with a prototype of this machine a few months ago, and we’ll say it again – the concept feels so obvious that we’re amazed that it has taken so long for it to actually hit the market.
