CRASH, the Spectrum magazine from the 80s and 90s, is back in a one-off crowdfunded hardback annual!
Fusion Retro Books, producers of many retro themed publications, has teamed up with a few original CRASH employees to bring us a brand new issue. Finally, issue 99! CRASH originally ended in 1992 at issue 98, leaving millions (probably) of Spectrum owners agog with disappointment.
Already fully funded, (within 9 hours of starting!) you can share your support and own a copy from as little as £7 for the full colour PDF version. The hardback annual, like the annuals you used to get at Christmas, will cost you £15 or you can opt to get other perks with it, like a CRASH wallet or cup, or a logo emblazoned t-shirt for slightly more. You can even get a canvas of Oli Freys front cover artwork if you fancy!
Familiar names have re-joined the project, the most notable of which are original CRASH artist Oli Frey, who is producing who produced the front cover, and Lloyd Mangram who has agreed to retake the helm of the Letters page again.
There will also be reviews of modern Spectrum games and the return of the Tips section, to name a few of the features.
Fusion Retro Books have delivered on every Kickstarter they have run, and all previous publications are available to buy directly from their website.
CRASH issue 99 should be in backers hands before December this year. If you manage to keep your CRASH annual wrapped until Christmas Day, you have better will power than I do!
