On the front of my White Label bundle of FS and FS2 is says: "the best space combat game in living memory" - PC Zone

So I decided to go search the PC-Zone site for the specific review and quickly found it, but it starts out with:

After sticking last month's free flappy bit of card to his monitor, Richie Shoemaker has been patiently waiting to play the game that goes with it. His patience was rewarded; yours will be tested.

And being as I am, I want to know: What flappy bit of card?

[Setekh]

No idea.

there's sometimes a piece a cardboard stickied to the back of a magazine with some details of what's inside in it.. including some demo details...

It'd be one of those double size cardboard backings you get with mags sometimes (i.e. the mag plus CDs attached to it, all in a big plastic bag), with a piccy / ad of Freespace in it.

I reckon.

I just thought it mighta been one of those monitor-mask thingies.

It is.

it's a list of all the FS key commands, neatly arranged for reference. You stick it to your monitor and bobs your uncle - quick reference card.

I have one :thepimp:

but why would they give that out prior to the review?

[Fineus]

It came with the demo I guess?

[aldo_14]

*shrugs*

I reckon it was a piccy.  

Thus, sticking it to the monitor = made it look like game

No? The actual background of the card was of an Apollo and an Anubis if I recall correctly. It's buried in a stack of paper right now but if I ever find it I'll scan it in for you.

Ah.  Well, er, maybe so.

[Fineus]

Well I've no reason to lie about it

[aldo_14]

No, I meant maybe it was that thing that they....ah, ne'ermind.
