    Are these rare?
    I seem to have vol.1 to 4 which I believe is current including DVD case with CD. In the recent issue it looks like vol.1 and 2 have been sold out...

    TIA
    cheers

    I`ve seen the first issue go for upto £50 and the second for upto £30 although the prices have levelled off a bit it`s a good magazine to get a hold of for the future

    I wish I`d bought a few now.

    But when they first came out they were £5 with a little magazine and a cd/dvd with a load of games that could be downloaded.

    Oh well never mind....I probably wouldn`t have sold
    them on anyway :smt043
     
  4. I saw this when it came out. However, after flicking through, it seems that their idea of retro is Spectrums, C64s and other oldskool UK computers. Not a single mention of Saturn, NES, PC Engine, NeoGeo or anything, Japanese anywhere. So I didn't buy it.

    The first couple of issues sell for silly money, and you can probably still turn a profit by buying the new copies and sticking them on eBay for non-UK residents.
    Why that is is beyond me, since I've flicked through all of them in the newsagents and have yet to find anything worth spending £6 on. I mean, are there any hardcore Acorn Electron collectors out there somewhere? ;)

    Yes there are such peeps.
    Im one of them Acorn fan, not necessarily Acorn Electorn fan though, but I collect those Acorn Brand RISC PCs.
    Last year a bloke from Blackpool sold one of the best Acorn RISC PC ever over at ebay UK with 2 grand quid price tag.
    I missed the auction and the buyer wont Resell the machine to me, damn it :smt042
