  • Ugh...that purple cover font is almost unreadable against the background. Who let that happen?
  • The Psalm 9:1-2 reference appears on the masthead.
  • Who wrote that long Eastern Front strategy-filled letter, CGW? You neglected to print his/her name.
  • Good luck finding a copy of The Captain 80 Book of BASIC Adventures for anything less than $50 online these days. It's a badass compilation of program listings and tips for making your own games written by Robert Liddil.
  • Please stop publishing bad fan fiction, CGW...please, please, please...?
  • Dan Bunten later underwent a "pronoun change" as she referred to it in 1992, becoming Danielle Bunten Berry.
