When you support APWOT, you support freelance writers like myself! Go pick up any volume and I guarantee you’ll be blown away by the quality of both the writing and design.

Now that Donkey Kong has swung back into the spotlight with a bold new 3D platformer, @radishgames.com revisits the ape’s first fully 3D game – Donkey Kong 64 – with members of the original Rare team behind the colourful collectathon like Grant Kirkhope, Mark Stevenson and George Andreas 🦧

The new APWOT arrived yesterday and it's simply marvelous to hold and read. I may be a touch biased having worked on multiple issues, but @cazwis.bsky.social produces a wonderful product and you should totally check out the Kickstarter for the next issue: @apwot.bsky.social. Print ain't dead.

It is here! and oh my stars, I came for the UO/VW feature but the layout design in every story is just. GORGEOUS?!?!?

I cannot wait to read this cover to cover.
I remember now that I backed the standard edition, probably because I'd be doing exactly that and wouldn't want to mess it up

Personally, I love the @apwot.bsky.social issues, and got a few special versions. They live on my bookshelf at work and students leaf through them delighted at how nice it feels.

You should buy nice magazines!

Nothing like kicking off the weekend with a shiny new issue of APWOT ✨ And what’s that inside? Why it’s an in depth retrospective on the development of Donkey Kong 64 featuring interviews with the team and beautiful art… written by yours truly! Go get yourself a copy.
