Although I have just about every magazine ever scanned (many now lost because sites went down) there's nothing like having real magazines to read. The earlier the better.

I have every issue of Amiga Format bar 2, and every Amiga Format annual bar 2......
 
I have the first issue of Your Computer (Australia) and the very first issue of Australian Commodore Review.
 
I have heaps of The One, Run! and Compute Magazines sitting in boxes downstairs....


Do you have the last two issues (88/89?) of The ONE AMIGA?

I love to read old CU, Amigaworld,Datormagazin(norwegian)C+VG an so on..
Brings back a lot of memories:-)

Good Times


Early mags like TV Gamer were amazing too because it was the start of home video games (VCS/COLECO/Intellivision/Vectrex/G7000 etc) and obviously I had never seen computers outside Star Wars/Battlestar Galactica.

I found about 45 issues of CU Amiga today (100% complete but as Mort scanned many badly as usual I'm hoping I can fix that and replace the blurry/warped pages of affected issues) and 25ish of Amiga Format.

I am only about 10 issues short of completing Amiga Power. Sadly few people are willing to donate ST/Amiga mags to scan and ebay are a company I will never use again. FEEL FREE TO DONATE CD32 GAMER/Amiga Power mags :) btw I don't destroy them for sheet fed scanner, I can flatbed scan nicely too if you want them back.

Found a few CVGs from the AGA years too (ie after issue 126)

Decent scans (quality of magazine condition and resolution improvement) of the first 3 years of ZZAP64 coming soon too. After Rignal and Penn left ZZAP went downhill fast AFAIC so not replacing the rest.

Sad to say ALL my scans in future will be watermarked with "illegal counterfeit ebay sale" too sorry. Currently doing that on my History of Computer + Video Games supplement book I finished scanning.

Oh and I hope the guy who won the VIC Computing mags last month scans them or lets us scan them :)

(not really of interest but I have located a complete donor set of ST Format but 1000s of miles away! But promised them sometime this year)
