If you’ve ever liked to give your joystick a good waggle, you’ll love Trigger Happy by @bitmapbooks.com It’s packed solid with the joysticks of yesterday, including my personal fav for my CPC, the Cruiser.

Many thanks to everyone who has sent the mag letters regarding Nick's passing.
It's heart-warming to know that his work was loved by so many readers.
Several will be printed in the mag so they can once again be shown to his parents. The joy he gave to people really gives them comfort. Thank you. ❤️
