TSR set out to create a magazine reminiscent of the original Dragon mag and were resoundingly successful. Looks, feels, and reads like the original. Good content from both old and new contributors. Editing and technical writing is excellent.

Features more artist contributions than issue #1 which improves the appeal but still lacks the new, purposeful content of a decent fanzine. Contains Charles Gannon's Operation Backdoor adventure which looks simply ported over from a 2300 fansite and has not been converted to the newest ruleset- although not new, an excellent adventure. Contains a review of another game (Ashen Stars) which is puzzling for a fanzine dedicated to 2300AD. Overall a few interesting bits but editing seems amiss like they're a bit out of their element. Not a page turner but hey, it's free. 2.5 overall (rounded up to 3)

An interesting fiction from the current author of 2300AD, a few bits of art from Ian Stead that are nice and an interview with a GDW alum Charles Gannon. Otherwise Colonial Times doesn't really add anything necessary or interesting as would be expected of a Fanzine though - more like junkmail. Has fictional ads etc. that look a bit amateurish. Has some history or events in the gameworld that seem to be made up by the editor maybe(?) that aren't very good. Not worth buying if it wasn't free but since it is, you don't really lose anything but time I suppose.

Great effort to create a robot builder using the MT ruleset. Better than book 8 if playing MT.

Great point based 15mm rule system. Comes complete with custom builders so there's not need for army books etc. to build a tabletop force. High production value and good artwork.
