‘People still remember it 40 years later’: the making of Chuckie Egg The iconic game that came to define 8-bit programming still conjures flutters of nostalgia 40 years on – all thanks to a 15-year-old tea boy who worked a Saturday shift in a computer shop in Greater M...

This was beautiful.

Exciting stuff - and Revolution has already smashed its Kickstarter target, hitting £380,000! Huge congrats to Charles , Noirin and the team.

Missed out on tickets to the Obscure concerts - looks and sounds brilliant. Some of my fave ever PSB tracks are B-sides and album tracks.

Cracking record!

“David didn’t seem happy about it. I told him he could come with us but he declined”: Tony Visconti reveals Bowie's reaction to Holy Holy, the supergroup that would be performing his songs Visconti joins us to talk Holy Holy's farewell tour, working with Paul McCartney and why AI is "clogging the arteries" of the music business

Recently interviewed another music hero - Tony Visconti - for @musicradar.com.web.brid.gy. He's the legendary musician, arranger and producer of bands such as T. Rex, Sparks & of course David Bowie, who he partnered with on albums such as Low, Heroes and Blackstar. www.musicradar.com/artists/davi...

Really excited about this - Kutaragi is coming to our conference in October!

Christ. Having just finished the brilliant Resident Evil: Requiem, this sounds like something the Umbrella Corporation came up with.

That's nice of you to say so Sam - the editor Mike Goldsmith was a big fan of cool, designer mags, so he definitely wanted it to have that feel, of something luxury, "grown up", beautiful.

Look how many staff there are on the mag too! We had 3 or 4 designers, two production editors, I think 6 writers plus a hefty freelance budget and money to spend on commissioning art for features/covers. Happy days.

Yes I think so - I seem to remember there was a record shop below us as well, but I may have mis-remembered. In that photo I was busy playing some of the demo games to feature in the news section - my desk is actually next to Sam Richards (2 in the photo).

Haha - yeah the boiling hot Bath office for OPS2 - nearby was OPSM and EDGE a bit further along the corridor.

Yeah basically Sony didn't want us to use that "PS2" logo after issue 1 because it was reserved for hardware only. So, we had to switch to the "PlayStation 2 Official Magazine-UK" logo for the second issue - not ideal, but we got away with it.

Ah, the memories! We were very happy with the slick design of OPS2 Mag - apart from having to change the mag's logo immediately after publishing issue 1...

Some great 12” mixes of this by Phil Hammond.
