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. ;)

I think priority should go to people who will offer to scan them really.


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.
