Coming from New Zealand, the land of sheep farming, I had two options when it cam to gaming magazines. Either the Official NZ Playstation magazine (actually, the Official Australian Playstation magazine in all but name) and The Official UK. Since Official UK was on import, I went for Official NZ. As with all official mags, it came with the usual demo containing videos, playables and saved game files. However, one notable difference now I'm in the UK between the two Official mags, is the lack of Net Yaroze.
Official NZ Playstation also game with Net Yaroze games. Just for the uninitiated, Net Yaroze is the Black Playstation that allowed you to programme games. The Demo disc often contained Net Yarozes. Some were worse than the worst SNES games, but others were small gems which should be recognised for what they were, but weren't. With the free YaBasic on the Official demo disc bundled with the PS2, I wish that the Official PS2 mag will feature Net Yaroze games. It will allow unknown developers to build a reputation, even get a publishing deal maybe, and will not cost the magazine.
People should be recognised for their efforts, and am prospecting a dramatic new rise in the Net Yaroze games (which I hope will materialise)

did you know the yaroze station costs nearly £500!
and that there is a blue station out there
yup

yup
Yeah, the price for Net Yaroze is terrible, and it may put some off, but just look at the potential...
...and its much cheaper than a full blown dev kit.
Does anybody know if there is a PS2 Net Yaroze version, or is the only thing available for amateurs the YaBasic on the demo disc
