Hello, Retromags denizens. It is I, your lovely retro goddess, descending once again from on high to ask you a question which will feel compelled to answer. This one should be fun for all. Wrestling stars have entrance theme music to introduce them to the ring prior to a match. You don't have to be a wrestler, but assume you could choose one piece of music to be your 'entrance theme', played to announce your arrival whenever it would be appropriate (or inappropriate, I suppose, depending on your desires): what piece of music do you pick? Feel free to link a YouTube video so the rest of us can imagine your intro theme whenever you show up in a new thread. Are you the type who feels the need to hype everybody up with the theme song from Rocky? Are you some kind of asshole who sees nothing wrong with inflicting the Macarena on the rest of the world each time you emerge from your apartment? Somewhere in between on the continuum? Let your intro theme fly! For a change, I'm grabbing mine right now so nobody else can claim it. My intro theme is 'Caramelldansen' as you've never heard it before: *huggles* Areala

Hello, RetroMags I know this is a total long shot, but here goes. I am collecting data for a research project and I need your help. For this project, I will be analyzing Game Informer reviews between the years 1991 and 2016. I visited the Library of Congress and collected many of the issues already but am missing a substantial number. I have looked into buying them used on eBay, but it would get rather pricey very quickly. Would anyone be willing to scan the front cover as well as the reviews section for the following issues? Alternatively, if you own any of these issues and would be willing to sell them that can be arranged as well. If you have any questions at all please let me know. I am happy to provide compensation for these scans. I will update this post if I no longer require any of the issues listed below. Also, if you have a suggestion as to how I can obtain these, I would love to hear your thoughts. Issues needed: 1991 March June September 1992 March June September 2002 September December 2003 September December 2007 June 2008 September December 2011 March June September December 2012 March June September December 2013 March June September December 2014 June 2015 March 2016 June December

I don't know. So many games. You know what game kind of wowed me at the time that would be amazing to recapture the excitement, Lunar on Sega CD. I mean I was mulling Phantasy Star. But I was absolutely enthralled by Lunar. In a world of speechless games, here was this game with voice acting, CD music , animated cutscenes, a thrilling story. I was frankly just blown away at the power of the Sega CD. The game seems kind of quaint and antiquuicated now. But I mean it was an experience unlike many other favorite console games you couldn't even get in the arcade. It was just at the right time and place to be completing amazing. Sure there was similar CD fare, on the Turbo CD with Y's, but I didn't have one, and I had played that game on the SMS. It just added animated cutscenes. Lunar was built for the CD medium from the beggining.

Also available now is PC Gamer (USA) issue 86 ....

my answer is my favorite game of all time, The Legend of Zelda. the original, on the NES. i spent countless hours on the floor of my bedroom with hand-drawn maps strewn about me, trying to find out WHICH ROOM HAD THAT SECRET PASSAGE? I KNOW I WROTE IT DOWN SOMEWHERE! years later, i set out on a seemingly endless quest to burn every bush, bomb every wall, push every stone. i had to break this game down completely and discover every last secret. many years later, i still have these maps and hints that i discovered. i play through the game probably once a year and get absolutely enamored every time. i've played (and beaten) it every way imaginable. play through with only three hearts? yep. get to Gannon without nabbing the sword? double check. play it blindfolded? well, no, that just sounds crazy and i'm totally not buying a blindfold on eBay right now.

anything has marshmallows in it yucky!

Next up, the February 1993 installment of Video Games & Computer Entertainment, kindly donated by RetroMags' own bigster. I'll be debinding this issue and scanning it shortly. The promised Next Generation comparison scans have been posted and EGM #24's missing pages has been sent to Sean697 for editing. I also have a number of EGM, EGM2, and Electronic Games supplement covers queued for editing. Thanks for editing VG&CE #7, kitsunebi77!

I've actually never heard the original version of that, either. But if it's from Sweden, I suppose there's GOT to be some metal covers. As for opening themes, I've got two, depending on if I'm a hero or villain. HERO: I might have gone with "The Touch," but Dirk Diggler kind of tainted that one a little bit. And besides, I always liked "Dare" better anyway. VILLAIN: Keeping with the TF theme, I'll go with the "Attack on the Shuttle" theme which is straight up "bad-guy" music after the first 10 seconds: Edit: Ooooooh....inspired by Areala's remix, I did a search for metal remixes and youtube did not disappoint.

I agree. As a reader of Game Players and subscriber to UGP, I knew it was all over after the very first issue of Game Buyer.

I have always let the wrong people get close to my game systems. @!#?@! First, there was my original Sega Genesis. I lent it to the kid next door and it came bck with the microphone jack broken and something loose inside the console. Years later, my sister or brothers dug it out of my room and God knows where it is now.. Second to disappear were my Playstation games. FFVII, Gran Turismo 2, and a few others were stolen by my brothers and traded in at Gamestop for a few bucks towards a Yu-Gi-Oh game..... PISSED! Third was my N64 and all the good games I had gathered when N64 games were going out of style at Gamestop(I paid like $15 for each). I let my brothers keep it in their room, since technically the system was theirs. One day it went missing and I believe my mom's ex-boyfriend either sold it or took it for himself when he moved out, the prick. Same with my 2600! Lessons learned: 1. Don't let punks borrow your stuff! 2. If you have siblings, steps, or in-laws, keep your games under lock and key! 3. Keep record and close track on where your games are at all times!
