### Welcome To RGCD Issue #01!

Well here it is, finally. Four months of intensive game playing, research, reviewing, typing and design have resulted in the first issue of this new HTML-based discmag - Welcome to RGCD Issue #01!

Unfortunately (and mainly due to the insane amount of work that went into designing the HTML code and layout templates for both the website and magazine), this issue has come out a full two months later than originally planned - so there's a good chance that you'll already be playing the majority of the games featured. However, as RGCD is a multi-platform retro-games discmag there are almost certainly still a handful of titles that you haven't heard of before. This issue contains reviews of recent top quality releases for the C64, Atari XE/XL, NEC TurboGrafx/PC Engine, Atari ST(E)/Mega ST(E) (and Falcon), Game Boy Advance, VIC-20, Direct-to-TV and (of course) the everyday desktop PC that you are probably reading this on.

Highlights of Issue #01 include in-depth developer interviews with the programmers behind the excellent Typhoon 2001 and Thrust Extreme (Thorsten Kuphaldt and Wiebo de Wit respectively), previews of Crownland and Sub Hunter (two awesome forthcoming 8-bit projects) and even an exclusive PC remake of an Atari ST classic. Every game featured in the magazine is also included archived on disc (along with any necessary emulation software), making RGCD your one-stop retro-gaming resource.
