With such sour overtones, I wonder why drobe bothered to 'promote' this mag at all. -- Spriteman. Spriteman on 4/10/02 9:11AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

It's very amusing. And rude. moss on 4/10/02 11:00AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

To be honest, a CD magazine has the edge over a paper one, (in my absolute honest opinion), because you can bundled more goodies on a CD and they're easier to store in a rack, unlike paper magazines where you get 3 old copies lying around lost under a coffee table. And they work out cheaper, but that's really because it takes more work and money to publish a whole magazine every month. Although, you need your computer to read a CD magazine. It's all swings and roundabouts. Chris, drobe.co.uk diomus on 4/10/02 11:26AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

I mean how can ever expect to read something which isn't on a monitor, Chris? Snig on 4/10/02 11:23PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Hmm, cancelling the AU and getting RiscWorld suddenly sounds a much more likely prospect. Snig on 4/10/02 11:35PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Cancel AU and get Archive or Acorn Publisher (I've heard they're both great). takkaria on 5/10/02 6:43PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

You've heard? That's great re-assurance. :P Snig on 9/10/02 12:35PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

In this review Andrew weighs up much-improved graphics and sound against playability and stability.
