Oliver Frey - A Legend Passes Away - This Week In Retro 89

Crash Magazine usually had some of the best covers seen on an 8-bit gaming magazine. Artist Oliver Frey has sadly passed away and in our own small tribute we look at some of his pieces of art that really had an impact on us as youngsters.

We also take a look at an awesome new DIY 8-bit computer build by Ivan Farafontov. Finally, Wing Commander IV is getting a high def remaster.

All of this (and more) and our Community Question Of The Week where we read out some of your game to movie adaptation pitches. You have some good imaginations!
