Hi:
Would anyone be interested in a small collection of amiga format magazines ?
It will be free, but you pay shipping.
No disks, only the magazines, but is all in good condition.
Anyone care ?

Hi:
Augusta, Georgia, USA

I'll take them, provided they can go media mail

@runequester
I do not know what media mail is (forgive my mail knowledge)
but I am sure I can send it to you that way.
Give me your address and I will go post office and find out how much media mail will be.
Thank you !!!

Damn you runequester!!! ;)
Great mag, I'm sure you'll loose your self in them. :)

Nice score there runequestor, and good stuff too Rednova. Ive been collecting lots of pdf copies of various amiga magazines for a while (Id prefer physical copes, but theyre not as readily available), they really are a great source of various "lost" information with various tutorials and so on.
-
they'll help build up my amiga bookshelf, and I imagine I'll get many hours of enjoyable reading out of them.
Might bring a few to work, to bring some sense to the mac and xbox/ps3 magazines there :)

Ha ha, I brought my Amiga Future magazine to work the other day and was bragging saying,"my computer community is so poor, we got to print our mags in Black and White", but I was proud of it! :)
-
I think priority should go to people who will offer to scan them really.
-
I've got two CD's full of PDF scans of Amiga Format (or was it CU Amiga) that I bought off some dude on Ebay, though they were the worst quality scans a person could possibly make. :/

Were they done with a b/w Migraph scanner on an Amiga? :lol:
-
If I recall correctly, I think they were done in color, but most at a very low resolution, crooked, you name it.
I'm pretty sure Windows 3.11 was used. ;)

THe guy who scanned all the amiga world magazines had apparently been offered most of the amiga format mag's in the past but doesn't want to put them up due to copyright/legal issues, as far as I understand it.

That's what torrents are for. ;)
It's just lame to let the past be buried. :(

... is so poor, we got to print our mags in Black and White
I have seen complaints about this, but I don't buy AF to see colorful screenshots but for the text. In the 80s it was pretty normal to have B&W pages in german magazines. Amiga Special and some "Sonderheft"s of "64er" even used cheap pulp paper.
Many "special interest" mags today are PDF only, which is IMO reducing their value drastically. I'd rather buy B&W than PDF. In fact I'd even prefer Amiga Guide format to PDF.

Ya, my Atari User subscription is in PDF format.

I'm with you, I don't need the color, though it doesn't hurt as it helps get your attention when you are looking at a new app in color rather than in B&W, but oh well.
Over all it just brings me back to the old political punk days when we all made our own zines and they were all B&W because we didn't have money and our collective was small and mostly unknown to the immediate surrounding public of the area.
