Our next issue of Pixel Addict has composer and BAFTA winner James Hannigan writing the cover story. He looks at how game music has evolved over the years. From the classic chiptunes to the licensed music of Wipeout and then full orchestras. several other musicians also share their thoughts.

This was from 3 years ago at Doncaster Gaming Market. @amigaaddict.bsky.social was only on issue 10 & @pixeladdict.bsky.social was still on issue 1! It's crazy how far we have come now with closing in on 70 issues of mags in the Addict world. Thanks everyone for support. www.addict.media

Miles better than mine- however I do blame my wife & kids (and myself for not just buying a family plan or extra accounts!) The Offspring is mine though!

It's almost 35 years since I got an Atari 520 STE Power Pack bundle for xmas 1989. (I wish I still had it. Not my pics but they bring back so many memories! However I originally wanted tge Amstrad 464 like my mate had. #retrogaming #atari

Paul Monaghan @pdmon.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Had a piece submitted for Pixel Addict Magazine about Rex, a Speccy game I have never played. He also mentioned this enchanced version which I decided to try out. Using keys to play this is taking some practice as not used keyboard controls for ages! #spectrum #speccy #retrogaming

GamesMaster mag from 30 years ago. A very strong issue for great games with several hitting 93% plus but highest was MICRO MACHINES 2- 97% and the lowest WAY OF THE WARRIOR-43% I had also forgotten all about those free gifts with Sugar Puffs! #sega #nintendo #retrogaming

Few pics of my #snes collection. Added a few loose carts since taking these pics. The snes has always been my fave console. #nintendo #retrogaming

And being a fan of #retrogaming mags, these are a few of my favourites. All played a big part in helping me want to work in print media.

Paul Monaghan @pdmon.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

So like the old days elsewhere. A few of my fave Snes games. On release they all made a huge impact on my gaming tastes and I still love playing them now (when time allows).
