Loving the Fighting Fantasy section and nice to see Salamander getting some love for a change.
And probably the best cover so far, but I am a Star Wars fan

I suggested an article on gamebooks in the Q&A section a while back, so I'm claiming the interview with Ian Livingstone and that whole article happened because of my suggestion until someone proves differently.

was really amazed Ian Livingstone was a videogame maker - had only ever seen his name in the context of those books (of which our school library had loads for some reason).

I must say, i didnt expect that I would enjoy the Spectrum piece as much as I did, being a c64 owner and all and not even knowing what a spectrum was at the time, but i found that to be my favourite article in this month's edition, so well done to the follow/s who did that, absolutely terrific work.

The Atari VCS.

It was called the VCS for about 4 years (surely most of it's useful life), then was renamed to the 2600. As far as I'm concerned, it was well past it's sell by date by then. I think I'd gone from that to the VIC-20, then to a C64 at that time.

I don't understand why most people call it a 2600, when surely most people bought it as a VCS.

It's always been a 2600 to me. Never even heard of a VCS until I joined this forum.
If it changed it's name after 4 years, then we're still talking early 80's, aren't we?
It was still on the shelves until the early 90's.

[Darran@Retro Gamer]

Yeah we call it's the 2600 as well

[Eric]

Yep 2600. Always thought "Video Computer System" was more a description than a name.
