Just want to say thanks again for reviewing my newsletters and promoting the forums. Doing that newsletter was no easy task in 1991 on an Atari 1040STe, dot matrix printer, and no internet to look up anything. Being 18 didn't help much either. :)

Hey no problem! It seems to of helped. I am sure it was hard to make back in the day but obviously it was something you did out ove a passion for gaming, I think it shows in the end product.

This is weird...I think issue 8 might have been released. I remember reading the review for Rastan (which was done by my brother, btw). Of course, I am not sure...perhaps I just remember reading my brother's copy before sending it to Ter. Maybe Ter did send the issue to my bro as a prototype (maybe to others). So I am not 100% sure...

Well I added that note as it was the first thing TER mentioned to me after seeing the video.....

Thanks for turning me on to Zap! Thanks!!

Awesome! no thank you! I see potential in the site, of course I love Atari Age/Digital Press etc but I thought it would be great to get this site going and and get more contributing members. Besides you I know of at least one other (Gamemaster from CDhelper) who joined so I think TER will be pleased to see the result considering I just posted this late yesterday!

Colorful annotations.

Hey Ter. I asked Dom if he remembered the issue and he told me that he remembers making the review, but never actually posted (Rastan review). I guess I was just remembering the "borrador" (I think it's called "proofread version"). It just seemed so vivid... :D

Hey, Joshua it's Ter. Issue #8 was never released, and saw by just myself up until this year. It was only about 60% complete. I added a collection of articles I've written over the years to make it complete. The top 10 SMS games and Unexplained article wasn't even written until 1997.
