So which of this month's games are you enjoying? Bubble In Trouble is a clever little game. Telethugs is fun too, gives me a Robocop 2 vibe. Paulo always delivers great work. I'd love a proper game in the style of the original Robocop though. It seems Zosya were working on one: is.gd/nnE1wM

Crash Jun 1991: Two tapes again, containing 10 items in all. Admittedly the Codemasters compilation tape is worth the £2.99 magazine price alone.

40 years ago, CRASH featured this cool cover to promote its review round-up of all the latest Speccy sports games. Which basically celebrated the sheer wealth of new sports games and showed the scene was absolutely not on its last legs as the cover suggested! Early "clickbait!"😁

The Covertape wars. Great for kids (like myself) on a limited budget, but the death knell for the actual software market.
Saw people comparing the cost of Switch 2 games to how many months of GamePass you could get for the same amount, and immediately flashed back to the dying days of 8-bit computers when magazines would have free cover tapes containing recent games. And how that whole sector died immediately after.
