lert reader John Silva wrote in to get an update of the magazine release and also casually mentioned
that not only was he friends with Ione Skye (River’s Edge, Say Anything), but that he also got together
with her from time to time to play classic videogames. John then offered to see if he could get her to let us
know what her favorite videogames are/were as sort of a follow-up to our Games of Fame article last issue.
Naturally, being very big fans of shameless name dropping (as well as big fans of hers), we encouraged him
wholeheartedly. She was kind enough to send the following message:

Dear Classic Gamer,

Thanks for being a fan of mine. I liked your last issue .John showed it to me and it was awe-
some. I really liked the trash or treasure one. I played some of those games back
in the 80s. Anyway, I'd have to say I like Clu Clu Land. It is a really under-
appreciated puzzle game and also that little furry red guy is so cute! I heard that
they are re-releasing it for the Game Boy, so hopefully if I can get my hands on an
SP I'll be able to play it. I wish you guys the best and hope that I'll be featured
soon.

Love Always,
-- Ione Skye
