“Over Christmas I rediscovered my old Nintendo DSi, thinking I’d passed it onto one of my kids years ago and assuming it had either been damaged or quietly sold to pay for Robux or some other illicit habit. It was a genuine surprise and I’ve hardly put the dual-screen delight down since, reacquanting myself with... Spectrum games (via the brilliant ZXDS), since there were no DS games in the box, damnit!”

Paws the game
Richie Shoemaker, Editor
“I’ve been playing Super Mario RPG, which is as good as everyone has always said it is. I was into the Mario & Luigi RPGs all the way up until the untimely closure of AlphaDream, so it’s nice to see where the game design started out. and followed it up with Sonic Dream Team on the iPad. Hopefully SEGA HARDlight gets to do console ports one day, as I’d love to have both it and ChuChu Rocket! Universe on my Nintendo Switch.”
Vince Pavey,
“I’m still playing Marvel Snap, but there’s no time to tell you about that, as I’m leaving and this will be my last issue. In February 2010 I joined a B2B title called Develop, starting my career in the UK games industry. Eight years later, I was asked back to help with the merged brands MCV/ DEVELOP. People still read it, praise it and support it. I hope this continues long after I’ve gone and I will always be indebted to the magazine and its owners.”

“Pecorino, or Pico for short, is a one year old Ragdoll who resembles a little ball of cheese. While Ragdoll is famously a quiet breed, Pico reminds the world that rules are for breaking as her favourite pastime is screaming spots in the house include ‘Pico tree she has destroyed, rebelling against modern cat architecture. She is only one year old and is the light in Callum’s life. May Pico live forever and continue to meow while she dreams.”

Pet: Venkman and Jones Owner: Sean Cleaver Owner’s job: at Blaze Entertainment
“Venkman and Jones are a pair of cat brothers that were adopted by the Cleaver household last year. Venkman is the tuxedo cat, while Jones is the ‘orange boy’. Sean and his family and friends refer to them as ‘Sigourney’s Boys’, given their names are references to some of the best characters from Sigourney Weaver’s movies. They have their own instagram page under the same group name, where you can go to check out their cute antics and lazy feline escapades on a regular basis.”
Pet: Vinny Owner: Sayem Ahmed Owner’s job: Tech Editor at Dexerto
“Vinny is Sayem’s ‘dumb tabby cat’, who requires attention at all to commandeer a keyboard if he feels he is getting neglected, and he also requires his morning and evening cuddles, otherwise he will food is burgers, especially from for his chunk of meat, otherwise he will make very big, large eyes at you, and make you feel extremely guilty. As he is currently moving house with his owners, please keep him in your thoughts the street is that he is named after Vince Pavey, but that can neither is mostly denied.”
