Huzzah! Finally got my copy of Jazza’s book. The guy was my childhood hero, so this is very cool.

Street Fighter 2 arrives on the scene in 1991. Earns a rare editorial from Jaz at Mean Machines.

Got my Mean Machines issue 1 through the post the other day. I know I’m 34 and a bit years late, but thanks to @jazrignall.bsky.social , Oz Browne, Matt Regan, Gary Harrod and the rest of the team for the best gaming mag there ever was. 🙏🏼 #meanmachines #gaming #sega #nintendo #90s

The Games of a Lifetime Journey through five decades of retro video game history with Julian ‘Jaz’ Rignall, former CVG & Mean Machines editor, arcade champion, & game culture icon.

I've just bought this book (with additional PDF download) about the history of videogaming by 'Jaz' Rignall from #BitmapBooks. Looks to be very interesting and I grew up on his writing in #CVG & #MeanMachines so am looking forward to hearing his prose and thoughts on the whole shebang!
