Licensing? Also it can't be any more hard than slapping together a WinAmp skin.
As usual, the west just isn't allowed to have nice things >_>

Great issue! Looks like shits goin to be seriously belly up^^
I also really love the colors on the Tikal strip, reminds me so much of the early StC issues.

You are doing really great work with StC-O.

BTW I still remember when we got our last StC issue here in Germany. For so many months I still went to the kiosks and asked if there's a new issue and they always told me there isn't any. And it got cancelled here in the middle of the Deathegg saga. I think the last story we got was when they've beaten Robotnik on the Floating Island. I definately remember that in the preview of the last issue was a pic of Predicto. That preview made it's cancellation here even more cruel. You can't imagine how happy I was when I found out that the UK issues were running for so much longer several years ago.

Also: Happy Birthday, Mr Kitching!

Are the maps inside like b/w schematics? If so, I think I had the German version maaaaaaany years ago. The cover looked pretty much the same, though I can't remember any color pages in our version.
I totally forgot this thing even existed until I saw this thread. Would be cool if I can track the German version down for comparison

So this happens when you you put Silver, Mickey Mouse and the Werehog into a blender? xD
Interesting to see how this artwork also seems to imitate Uekawa's style.
BTW I guess this is some kind of mobile game, right?

Devil's Crush/ Dragon's Fury
One of the best pinball games ever made with an awesome sountrack. It has some graphical improvements over the PCE version. As for the music, I wouldn't say it sounds better or worse on any system. It's more a matter of personal preferance.

Zero Wing
Don't laugh, the game has more to offer than just great justice. It's a pretty good Shmup with some badass music. My only gripe is that the lack of an extra boss theme makes the fights a bit anticlimactic.

Gaiares
Another Shmup, also a nice soundtrack and a cool weapon system which allows you to snatch enemy weapons. There are also some very nicely drawn boss sprites

Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist
Not quite as cool as the SNES version of Turtles in Time but the music sounds much better through the MD than the slightly muffled SPC tracks.

Most of the others which come to my mind were already named, like Maui Mallard, Cool Spot (one of the few games were the music actually sounds much more like real intruments than on SNES), Thunder Force IV or Ranger X
