I take it the issue numbers don't increment by 1 each month. :-)

In its earliest days, RGT was a quarterly online release. It has been every other month for many years now.

Actually, it's been monthly for as long as I've been writing (3+ years). We had a blip back a few months ago when the old editor gave up his position and it took a few weeks to find a few person.
The "142 Issues In a Row" date back to the original incarnation of Retrogaming Times before it became Retrogaming Times Monthly.

I thought it read 142 months in a row. And going back into the 90's, when I remember it being introduced, I thought it was a quarterly issue. I'll have to go back into google groups archives (spotty) and see what I can find.

Don,
I've been reading your column every month in RTM and have really enjoyed it. I knew that I had seen you post in a few of the Apple II forums I frequent. Are you open to suggestions for games to review for the II line or do you have enough stuff lined up for the next several months?

Dean,
Feel free to suggest games you're interested in seeing. :)
If you've read my column, you know that I tend to do most of these at the "spur of the moment".
The other catch is trying to get the games to work on the emulators. I've had some trouble running certain games. But feel free to throw me some games you're interested in and I'll try to squeeze them in.

Hi Don.
It's cool you've taken the time to write these reviews. The article index ("coming soon") would be very useful.
Also, which emulators do you use? I hope you file bug reports. ;-)

I don't remember specifically what games they were. I use AppleWIN on my XP box. I think sometimes I've gotten bad files. I've also occasionally had problems with certain games running on the Virtual Apple II site.
I'll start reporting these things if I run into them again.
