And GALAGA by Michael Kimball. This reprint will feature a historical afterword by me (Gabe) detailing all we've learned about the making of Galaga since Michael's book originally came out in 2014.

This year I decided to finally read A Christmas Carol. Imagine my delight learning that the Muppet adaptation's second best line delivery, "Tiny Tim, who did NOT die," comes directly from the text itself. "NOT" is canonically in caps.

RIVER KING was far less popular with the GamePro staff in issue 107. Kraig in particular was down on this "bore-a-thon." But hey, they can't all be Bomberman GB.

This was at 14,999 and someone donated a dollar. Very clean, very pleasing.
