It's a cracking issue this month. We've got a great interview with Mark Eyles about his work on Aliens, a lookback at Commando and we've restarted regular Next coverage.
For those not a Patreon - If you're at all interested in the comings and goings of the current ZX Spectrum scene or just want to enjoy the nostalgia of reading Crash again, then in my completely unbiased opinion, it's a great read.

Hi there,
In collaboration with Sandy White, we have created two new mugs, one for XMAS with seasonal decor inside, and a black one for all year around.
In addition, we have made good a piece of art Oliver Frey created for the CRASH gaming cataloge - a publication that pre-dates the magazine. The art was over 2-pages originally, and can now be offered with OIi's signature (he signed the cards in June this year) for a limited run.
Take a look here: 2022-10-23 11:11:36 +0000 UTC View Post
We now have our very own CRASH XMAS mug - with Christmas pattern inside the mug and on the handle, and two of the most iconic CRASH covers merged together. Going to limit these - so first come first served!

Hi there, I have added CRASH binders as an add-on on our live Kickstarter (just edit your pledge, re-add Tier and then add-ons). This will give me a good idea on how many binders to order once the campaign completes.
We have 12 days left, and the campaign is going really well. I will come up with some stretch goals today, starting from £70K. The link is:
Hi there,

Hi there,
Attached is issue #11 of CRASH. With our good friend Oliver Frey recently passing, we dedicate this issue to him. He is already sorely missed. Roger needs all our support at this time.
Any problems with the issue, please do comment. This will go to print on Friday, as I am in Wales at the moment with family.
Cheers, Chris

In the last week or so, I have been appointed a very pro-active account manager at the Royal Mail which has been welcome. He has taken a big interest in the EU issues I have had, and the good news is I have been submitting all my post into the EU correctly and VAT has been paid e...
