Delighted to have my article featured in the latest PlayNation magazine, sharing Baltasound Junior High School’s Play Pedagogy Award journey in Shetland. A brilliant reminder that children’s voices, rights and play belong at the heart of learning. #ScotEduSky #EduSky

I understand the shows were essentially a scam, but I really miss the era of "playnation" where it was somehow less predatory than modern mobile games.

It was fantastic background tv

The youtube channel description is relevant here: "Released as a free DVD with Issue 8 of Playnation Magazine, May 2002, the British dub of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is one that has been long forgotten by many kaiju fans and exists now only as an odd curio."

Yeah, gaming mags were fun, I used to love reading the funny captions on the pictures in some of the magazines.
PSM, Hyper, Playnation, PSW, N6Gem were popular favourites down under.
I remember PSW actually had a dvd that came with it that gave reviews, previews, plus cheats and tips!
