[game_preservation] Classic gaming magazines for sale in digital? Plus Gumpei Yokoi translation

[Andrew Armstrong]

  Great news on the translation! :D (makes me want to start posting such 
news on the IGDA blog).

The Books LLC thing republish wikipedia articles AFAIK...yes, royally 
dodgy unless you really need a lacking-pictures, bare-basics, poorly 
chosen, snapshot of wikipedia offline where you have no electronic 
device. Easy way to check is to highlight the contents of the synopsis:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=It+is+published+monthly+and+comes+with+a+cover-mounted+DVD+of+software+.+The+magazine+is+published+by+ACP+Magazines+Limited+%2C+which+is+one+of+the+comp&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

Sigh!
