This should have been an e-zine article...
Yes, it was one of the precious few that we had submitted. Zzap had approached me and we worked this out as the format that would have appeared in the Zine. This was "in the can" but few others were interested in contributing. I sense some resentment among various users that "their Zine" wasn't released this month. Rest assured, if we had published what little content was provided, the readership at large would have both felt disappointed and betrayed. It was agreed that releasing nothing at all was a better move than putting our name and logo on the periodical equivalent of a footnote on May 1.  As I've said elsewhere, stay tuned.

I like your fonts.


The 3 fonts you can see there were from 3 sources. The main title is bold Verdana, came up pretty good and was re-used on the carts. The copyright text below that is using a font I drew myself. The third font (high scores and in game) was drawn by Ste Pickford, and is available here:

Yea.  Its actually not.  I tried to order mine and the site like glitched on my order and it thinks I ordered 25 of them!  I only ordered 1 and paypal apparently thinks differently.  I already sent bunnyboy a message about this so hopefully he can correct it. ]]> A short background on Zzap's new creation! http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=7850 2008-05-01T21:44:48 -05.00 dangevin 14 A short background on Zzap's new creation! http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=7850 2008-05-01T18:57:55 -05.00 dangevin 14 Awesome!  Great to see another game being developed.  Looking forward to picking this one up, still need to get Glider as well.
