Could you scan it for those of us who don't live in France?

It's still on the way , life is sometimes complicated...
I know that feeling, but the really important is at the end everything was how you, iXien and TotO wanted.
Take your time fano!!! ;)
A big article of 8 pages, including a Bob Pape comment about the great speccy version. I hope you like it ! :)
The game should be released at the same time... Sorry but it's not finished.
I don't want to take the time... CPC is immortal, not me! :D
Hope you enjoy it in few weeks. September is too close for that, but October smell good. (for sure, better than Bydo)
For waiting, you can listen the first iXien try (stage 2) in loop :

Enjoy!
iXien did a very great job. I think the conversion is near perfect !
I really hope to see him more involved later also on other productions !
Oooh this looks nice... €9 is a lot for one article, I hope it surfaces somehow!

Pix'N Love mook
(magazine book) is a high value 132 full color glossy pages with varnish hardcover.
Great content about retro-news, exclusives interviews of peoples who made games in 80s/90s, reviews and a special report about the game on the cover.
It's a collectible "bimonthly" item always reprinted
(sometime soldout) and look like that :

It looks really professionally made, but €9 does seem quite a bit. I might buy one to sample the overall content and then decide whether it's worth a second visit.
Bryce.
It's a professional work, not a fanzine like. (in french only)
Unfortunatly, at the time of a dematerialised world, it's the price to pay for keeping that.
It's no more expensive than 2 monthly videogame magazines, but about retro-gaming only... With pleasure to read and reread them. ;)
