I found a speccy poster on the internet. I've censored it by adding the 8 bit thing below. My question is what is it from? It really looks like it should be from Retro Gamer, but Retro Gamer doesn't show nudity, so I'm at a loss. If it is from Retro Gamer, what issue is it?
The image below is a clickable thumbnail, but the larger image is also censored. This is a family board after all. ;)

It's not the same type of text Retro Gamer uses, either. It's a good guess that it's from a British magazine for guys. Haven't got the foggiest idea which one, though.
At first I thought, "This is NSFW?!" Then I saw the little blocking image. My my my. That is a bit titilating.
Could be Club, or Mens Only, maybe even Loaded or Nuts, or whatever these 'lads' magazines are called.
Why's she trying to nibble it? Spectrums are hard to digest you know.

Ahh.... I imagined it was from a retro gamer style publication, so I was curious as to why they had nudity in it. I guess if its an adult mag with an article about vintage computer, that makes more sense, but is for some reason less interesting.
I'd still like to see what other computers they discussed. I don't really know much about early CP/M based computers, which is one of the reasons that I find Retro Gamer so interesting. Early computers from the UK, it's like the wild west. Two kids in the basement programming games, getting rich and disregarding every copyright law in the book in the process. Brilliant!

Is there an unedited version of the pic or was it dolled up for DP standards? Just curious, not that I wanted to um, never mind, it comes out wrong no matter what.

That looks like it came from Stuff or Maxim Magazine.
Edit:
Never mind, I just noticed the boob floating in the wind. It couldn't have been from a US magazine.

Stuff and Maxim are British magazines, they just publish US versions as well afaik.
The font does look a little familiar, I'll need to study the picture more to assess ;)
The hypothesis probably is right, it is likely to be a lad's mag with a section of retrogaming.

The font is def. Maxim - I remember it well from their US mag's story on the Anon v. Scientology fight. So maybe UK's Maxim doing a classic game spread... with hot chicks?

I have some Aussie Maxim & FHM mags. They both show nippage. She's cute, man.

Just send me a PM if you want the original :) I don't want to post it in the open and violate the site's TOS.

Well maybe - I just want to know what other systems/computers they cover. I'd like to collect the entire set - if we can figure out what magazine and issue, it should be easy. At least if we can figure out what magazine it is, a simple google search should help it narrow it down.

OLD THREAD, I COMMAND YOU TO RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE (to avenge my daughter?)
I have nailed the source for this image. :)
It's from the UK Magazine "FRONT" or "FR0NT" (with a zero instead of an "o"). It's from a January 2008 issue entitled "Games Rock". As far as I can tell, this magazine seems like a geekier version of Maxim.

They apparently discuss a whole host of different systems. I found (some of) the article's images online, but they don't include the text. They're more like wallpapers. I'd like to see the article text as well.
Does anyone from the UK have this magazine?
Ah yes, I remember Front, I have the first issue with the delicious Tracy Shaw on the cover (and inside), and one later issue, again with Tracy Shaw on the cover (and inside). Tracy Shaw is hot.....Spectrums are not
