How much does this go for? Topics seem to include a few games I am interested in along with Diadra Empty (which I just got from you and love). Not that I will be able to read it anyway. :(

I'll have it for $33.00, shipped. Not sure if other retailers are carrying this issue as it seems when they carried the first one they had stocking issues and it didn't prove to be that popular with "mainstream" gamers. I also currently have the first two issues in stock - check my sig. :wink:

Will the publisher of those cool Shooting Gameside magazines consider re-publishing them in English for it's international shmup audience? Cool single page spread about the upcoming Kotobukiya produced R-Gray 1 fightercraft model kit.

Or perhaps have a dual language format mag with both English & Japanese for it's fourth Shooting Gameside issue would be even better.

The magazine is cool and I suggest the whole serie, too. If 1365 yen equals to 18$, the price of 100 yen per credit in the Japanese arcades makes the buying of the magazine a must. When one have collected half a dozen magazines, for years to come he will have teaser about STGs.
In Bulgarian arcades 100 yen buy up to ten credits. It is true that that the games are old, from the 1990-2001 period, but the machines are in good condition. Here one buys other magazines, like "Mandate", "Inches" and "Hung" - because of the pricing. All the magazines about videogames had gone till 2008, while never a single arcade magazine being presented.
