Heh... does Wammes mentioning MSX in his PC Active column count as well?
Surely does
Yeah he should do it more since it might improve the quality
OFFTOPIC
Since I really had the idea that things were going down hill but that might be my opinion.
So the current edition of PC-active. (Took a quick look in it. Wammes mentioning MSX is probally the highlight of the magazine !)
And the current edition of a specific console magazine mention MSX. Last one I will put up as soon as I have time to fix the scans.
