Issue 136 has arrived in dock, and Elite is our cover star this month as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series. Each game from the original Elite to Kickstarter smash Elite: Dangerous is covered in detail with exclusive interview content from David Braben. Elsewhere in the issue, we look at the making of Graftgold’s classic Ranarama and PC shooter Blood, plus delve into the archives for a look at Nutting Industries and the Microvision, the first ever handheld console with interchangeable cartridges.

If that’s not to your liking, fear not – we have an interview with Archer Maclean, the Ultimate Guide to Puzzle Bobble and Lost In Translation, a look at how games differ in their worldwide releases. The Amiga 1200 gets some love in a Minority Report, and readers weigh in with their top 25 games for the Sega Master System.

The issue is available to buy in print from imagineshop.co.uk and digital from greatdigitalmags.com, as well as in newsagents.
