Editorial

Here it is... the last Zzap!Raine issue for year 2003, and again there are two additions. No new sections added, but let's say welcome to Lee Bolton in the Raine reviews section (he was the editor of Zzap!Test #1 and is mostly fond of C64 games).

And let's also say a huge welcome to Paul E. Morrison, who also formerly contributed to Zzap!64 #107 (he's also credited there), and is webmaster of a well-known website dedicated to arcade and 8-bit computers retro-reviews. I invite you to read his first Raine review: Kick and Run.

Here's the long-awaited return of two sections: Redhot is back with the third chapter of his Milestones, featuring reviews of videogames that left footprints in the gaming history.

Another odd character is back: Rockford. He still lives in a cave full of diamonds and tells us something about people working here in Zzap!Raine. Not just working actually... we're a sort of nomads going forth and back.

This month's reviews: Rygar (the cover game) the legendary warrior coming from the dawn of times; Truxton is a restless vertically scrolling shooter produced by Taito and developed by Toaplan; Kick and Run is a soccer simulation: the flyer claims "Not just another soccer game, but a soccer experience!", "Everything's included except the stadium!" and "fast paced action with all the thrills of real soccer!"... oh God is that true? Who knows... Gun & Frontier is a western-style vertically scrolling shooter taking place in a world named Gloria, it's a war between pioneers and aliens; a special review of Pengo is here, dedicated to all the fans of the early 80's.

I think that's all, so I wish you merry Christmas and happy new year and... happy zzapping!
