Missing the Z

Future Publishing are launching a new videogame magazine for 7-13 boys called Zap! Sacrilege anyone? Of course the target audience will barely remember the Dreamcast, let alone the C64, but Zzap! 64 was the greatest magazine in the world when I was 12. Even better than Smash Hits. You can almost picture a bemulleted Julian Rignall giving this new mag the thumbs down - "too derivative, not a proper shmup" - while that scorelord bloke gets even angrier.
