I remember the first VG i bought contained a report on the PC FX which in turn featured a panty shot from some kind of Princess Maker clone... Graduation or something similar that thing was called. ... funny, that was about 17 years ago and i still remember...<br /><br />Boobs aside, it seems to me that the circulation of M! Games has decreased somewhat. I couldn't find it at the newspaper stands at the train stations i passed today in Bavaria.Steinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-50263189201620332282011-07-26T23:00:56.430-04:002011-07-26T23:00:56.430-04:00@ Martin: Trust me, AGM is nothing like ASM, despi...@ Martin: Trust me, AGM is nothing like ASM, despite the similar abbreviation.<br /><br />@ Anonymous: Did you read any issues of GEE recently?

I'm a german guy but ...Thanks for this article! I'm a german guy but left the country to live in Japan 6 years ago. I remember GEE, this one had a really outstanding layout, but it's basically a german cop of the UK magazin EDGE which has the same format and layout, so GEE is just a copy of EDGE. While the writing in EDGE *is* pretentious, I would say that that the guys writing GEE are just trying to be pretentious and are failing even at that. They are not on the same intellectual level as EDGE. However the concept of GEE, combining games, entertainment and education really fascinated me. But there wasn't much education it it. Some other gemran mags like PC Games Hardware had much deeper articles on topics like game AI, 3D, physics, sound simulation etc.<br /><br />> Did you know that Rainbow Arts released a game compilation for C64 on CD, released in 1990?<br /><br />Yes! Because I read the original review of that compilation in the ASM (Aktueller Software Markt) when it came out. ASM and PowerPlay where *the* main german gaming mags in the 80s/90s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-16147463196146993902011-07-23T19:23:20.076-04:002011-07-23T19:23:20.076-04:00Ah yes, the M!Games/Man!ac.

But yeah, their tendency to show boobs where no boobs are needed is a little annoying; as you mentioned, it (at least at this point) hurts the image of video games. <br /><br />Also, AGM reminds me ASM, the old home computer magazine.Martin Penwaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-63290864672973480802011-07-21T17:42:07.303-04:002011-07-21T17:42:07.303-04:00diese germans sind schon lustig drauf, hast du gut...diese germans sind schon lustig drauf, hast du gut gemacht..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-24035188139312310802011-07-20T04:29:40.032-04:002011-07-20T04:29:40.032-04:00Nice, thanks for that.
