Classic Gamer PDF Magazine Hits Second Issue 21
Skyler writes "The second issue of the recently revived, formerly paper-only Classic Gamer Magazine is now online as a freely downloadable PDF. The cover story for this issue discusses the history of James Bond videogames, but that's just the beginning, as this issue is chock full of gaming articles, reviews, classic ads, and much more." We previously covered Classic Gamer's debut PDF issue - the UK print magazine Retro Gamer is also worth seeking out if you enjoy this type of rampant gaming nostalgia.

Back in my prime video game days, I used to able to beat Contra without dying once. If I died, it was always in one of the same two or three places. I wish I had the time to play games to death like I used to do back when I was younger.

I attempted for about the 40th time to get through Gradius 4. Darned if I can get through what I think is the final level. Thing is, you can only use that code once per level, although they stack..
By the time I got to the end of the game, I must have been on a one to one level. Even continuing, you can't re-use the code....
I'm still waiting for Gradius 5 to come out. Looks beautiful, and hopefu

Yes, but omit the Select if you were like me, playing 1-player because you had nobody to play with.
Or reinsert the Select if you were coordinated enough to play with two controllers simultaneously...

I wouldn't use a PDF where HTML would do ... But PDFs certainly have their place. They're cross-platform, widely supported, and can be generated with freely-available tools (for example, I used LaTeX to write my thesis.. dvipdf makes it readable anywhere).
Or would you rather we all "standardised" on Microsoft Word?

PDAs are becoming more and more suited to this type of work. Sony has Palms now that run at 320 by 480. Sure beats the 240 by 320 I'm running on my PocketPC. Death to paper!
