Well... you say it's short but it looks pretty big for me! I know it took me a bit of time to read. But it's great!

I'll be honest - the design needs work. Black on blue/yellow is a little weird and the fonts are all the same. But that hardly gets in the way of the content: I love your reviewing style! It's honest, witty, funny, at times comedically disparaging. A few spelling mistakes but no worse than I've seen in other stuff like that. It certainly doesn't detract, and the 'one-man show' idea brings with it a positive note: your personality shines through in the writing. Right down to the 1984 review :)

The Big Question and the Puyo Puyo article are two examples of original content that I really appreciated. Put it this way: you're interesting enough to write 28 pages and have people read them all. That's commendable :)

Only miffed about one thing - your 'exclusive' interview with enf65, 'cos I have another interview with him sitting in my articles dir :( I didn't want to do any interviews/articles that you had already done, but looks like people will be getting two more-or-less identical interviews with him. Never mind...

Anyways, good work, and I hope you do issue #2, and #3 ....

Thanks! Coming from a guy from GP32Zine that really does mean a hell of alot. Sorry about the interview thing, I just assumed it was exclusive;)

The things you touched upon I agree totally-I'm a terrible speller and no artist, and I think if I ever do another Issue I will be focusing on a even more basic minmalist design (black on white, more writing, less colour) as it saves me time and the reader ink, but still have a touch of style about it:) I really should start proof reading more.

As for future issues as I say, I am undecided. Seeing this feedback really is a lovely surprise-I didn't think anyone would like it at all after seeing what's already avalible.

Time will tell.

Hi all,
I made a mistake while translating the enf65 interview...
Im sorry about that...
Instead of reading :
I should be enough to make the GP32 a little popular so it will work in Europe
BUT
A little shoud be....

sorry again....I was in a hurry so I didnt take a lot of time to re read everything...

see you :lol:
 
It was pretty good, but could you make each page a .png or .gif instead? .jpg makes the text a bit hard to read (and I think a png wouldn't make each file that much bigger).

Edit: well than again, I guess the pdf version will do that anyways...
 
Can someone send me a pdf version...as my stupid firewall prevents me from D/Ling anything....cheers guys

Seeing as it is in jpeg, you *should* be able to read it on the GP32. It just wont be very pactical.

Cheers for the PDF version, works a treat.

It was a very good mag indeed.

Can't wait for the next issue. I may even e-mail in a letter to the letters page :)
