Finishing up the edit for this month's new episode (due out on 8 July), with @bazgreenland.bsky.social and @pdmon.bsky.social and the topic of DEF II comes up. Who remembers DEF II on BBC2 in the 90s?

Our next issue of Pixel Addict
has composer and BAFTA winner James Hannigan writing the cover story.

He looks at how game music has evolved over the years. From the classic chiptunes to the licensed music of Wipeout and then full orchestras. several other musicians also share their thoughts.

This was from 3 years ago at Doncaster Gaming Market. @amigaaddict.bsky.social was only on issue 10 & @pixeladdict.bsky.social was still on issue 1!
It's crazy how far we have come now with closing in on 70 issues of mags in the Addict world. Thanks everyone for support.

Zero is one of my fave mags so really enjoyed guesting on this.
Currently editing the next episode of 8-Bit Back Issues and we've got @pdmon.bsky.social and @leechrimes.bsky.social chatting about Zero magazine. David Wilson is mentioned, as is 'Hold My Hand (Very Tightly)'. I'd love to put the song in the pod!

Should I?

The first release of Snapper for the BBC Micro featured the familiar arcade game Pac-Man character and ghosts - as shown in the magazine advert. However, potential legal issues resulted in modifications to the graphics and later releases had Pac-Man wearing a hat and four 'alien' like creatures.
