Title: Blip Magazine - Feb 1983 - Twin Galaxies Hall of Fame
Post by: RayB on August 13, 2009, 02:05:03 am

Friend of mine just gave me a few copies of Blip magazine. These were published in comic book format by Marvel / Stan Lee. The first issue is from 1983 and has a feature article on Walter Day and how he was starting to record high scores.  Cool stuff. Cheesy too, but cool.

YOu asked........ you Get.
Volume 1, Issue 1, February 1983
(Now how do I see if ol' Walt needs these scans? I cant remember my TG forum user name)


The next 2 issues have this "Hall of Fame" section as well, with updates to scores.  There's also an interesting interview with Dona Bailey (Centipede)

Hi Ray,
Would you mind scanning the whole magazine? It is always fun to see how bad the old magazines actually were. :)
