Take off every 'ZIG'!!

@Eddsnake Just looked it up. They did indeed. 🤦‍♂️

@Electric-Dreams TOTAL! was also a Future publication. That ended shortly after Super Play did.

To be fair, TOTAL! deserved ignominy for giving the dreadful Rise of the Robots 77%.

I'm very sorry to hear of Jason's passing. As a key member of the Super Play team in its first nine issues he helped define the culture of the magazine, and still found time to contribute to the magazine even after leaving to join EDGE, and this interview seems to show he never lost his love for the quirky sides of gaming. Oyasumi, Jason, arigatō!

The idea of Sega Europe buying out Thames Television after they lost their lucrative licence as the London Weekday ITV company? Now that would have been interesting...

@Damo Kim Justice made a video about Mirrorsoft back in 2016. A great video about the label, and its owner Cap'n Bob. The Tetris story is recounted in it too, as is the Mirror Group Pension Fund scandal.

@Franklin Interesting to see Cap'n Bob's murky past still comes back to haunt his family.

The SNES version (and its sequel) were developed by Merit Studios Europe (now Eutechnyx).

Good luck to Steve Jarratt on whatever he does next!

Super Play was the best ever games magazine, I think the massive import and animé coverage gave it the edge, along with the fantastic cover art
