Looks like a great issue, and a making of theme park, yes please! Although I’ve had an email saying this months issue may take time to arrive so hopefully the wait isn’t too long.

Looks awesome. However, I took the time to put together a list of all the good Monkey Ball games-

I had the email 30 minutes after the issue popped through the letterbox 😜

 

Great stuff in there, the Maui Mallard stuff was fascinating to learn about and Theme Park is an all-time classic.

Tesco!

Sweet; though I wish there was a cheaper way to get them in the EU. Thanks to Brexit, I'm now paying £22 for an issue

Mine arrived today in the post. The little kinda shiny bananas all over the front cover are great!

How does that work? VAT plus a handling charge?

[Keyboard Koala]

Yup. Used to be £10. More than doubled

The Theme Park article reminded me that when Demis Hassabis left Lionhead to form Elixir Studios and develop Republic: The Revolution he wrote a monthly column about it in a games magazine, can anyone remember which one? I bought too many mags back in the day and can't remember.

 

EDIT: Forget that request, it was EDGE and just found a site with it all in a single Word and TXT file

Surely this is the point you go digital.

Would buying through eBay not help? Suppose you'd always be a month or two behind
