Was going through stuff I have stashed at the Old Folk's home and I came across this...

Now THAT'S retro!!!

Nice find. I used to buy C+VG sometimes. Normal issues had a lot of content, and that definitely looked like great value for £2.95 :)

Shame there was no Amiga in there though.

What is really great about the magazine at that time was how much they were waxing lyrical about the Konix console and chair. I bet the winner of the competition to win one was mightily cheesed off when it never emerged.

It is also strange to see a console magazine that is pre-SNES... Now that is what really dates it...

That is true. It is often easy to forget how late Nintendo were into the 16-bit console market after the Megadrive. Released in Japan late 1990, the SNES didn't arrive in Europe until 1992! And they moan about having to wait for things in Europe these days!
