After revealing that the revelation of Out-of-Print Archive being sold off was, in fact, a rather sneaky April Fool joke, things are more or less back to normal at OoPA. A brand new scan of Mean Machines issue 2 has been released, courtesy of meppi. The release comes along with a handful of online reviews from the magazine itself, including Bubble Bobble on the NES, Rainbow Islands, Forgotten Worlds and Strider on the Mega Drive.

The first of OoPA's regular monthly feature, Back in Time looks at the classic videogaming magazines that were released 20 years ago this month. This month, is, naturally, April 1990 when the likes of Zzap!64, C&VG, Your Sinclair and Crash reigned supreme in the UK market.

That's not all though as there has been new sections created to accommodate this regular feature, mainly the micro computer section, which will eventually fill up with classic online material. This month the chosen online articles are Zzap!64 Amiga's review of Midwinter for the Amiga, Your Sinclair's review of Rainbow Islands for the ZX Spectrum, ACE's interview with Lucasfilm Games and Zero's hilarious Artistic Licensing featuring Back to the Future part II.
