Thanks for posting these magazines.  I was a contributing writer for "Amazing"
back in the late 80s/early 90s and it's great to see that these old mags are
still appreciated and being preserved.

I'll second that, Bob!  I found the first article I wrote about the Amiga the other day.
If anyone ever wants to recreate the history of the Amiga, roomers and all, Amazing is an excellent archive.

What an AWESOME site/resource.  I checked out the extensive commodore magazine section and came across a magazine as a 10 year old I use to read - Family Computing.  I remember awaiting each issue with tremendous anticipation... I had a Coleco Adam at the time and would type in all the programs listed for it (or Apple II with minor tweaks- same Basic Language). Then when my Commodore 64 arrived I went back and added those!

Thank you so much for preserving so much of the joys of my childhood.  Very soon I'll be ordering your DVD set!

Thanks

Wonderful! Now I can quit hoarding many many boxes of Amiga mags, including the rare ACTech and Transactor series which you seem to have. Thanks!

Look through and see what you have that is still missing.
 
Contributions and loans of material will help fill in the gaps.
 
Most later magazines (stapled ones) can be easily scanned by removing the staples. A 100 page magazine takes about 15-20 minutes total time to take apart, scan, start OCR and put back together.
 
Enjoy

Wonderful job! Really!

Still no chance for the Amiga World Tech Journal disks to be imaged?
And if ever you had the chance to add the french magazine Amiga News Tech, it would be wonderful too!

Many thanks!

I imaged the floppies that I got with the magazines. Most were still sealed in the magazines.
 
I have Vol 1 (1-5) and Vol 2 (1 & 2). I will try and get those online tomorrow evening.
 
Point me in the right direction to get that french magazine and I will get it added. Just starting to add other languages due to requests.

Congratulations on making this resource available.
 
I own www.amigaformat.com domain and was wondering if you're thinking of doing the same with the Amiga Format magazines?  
 
There are a total of 136 magazines in all along with 9 or so specials!  I"ve got a few of the specials and the very last issue of Amiga Format that I am in the process of scanning.
 
There are also some of the Amiga Formats that have already been scanned in full on other sites....do you feel like taking on a challenge?

Personally I loved reading the German magazine "Amiga Magazin" by Markt & Technik and going to the "Messe" in Koln. The community in Germany was always big...

Any chance of those appearing online in your collection ;-) ?

They are always bound by stapels in the back if I remember correctly, so with a A3 scanner...

Unfortunately, I never owned any copy of Amiga News Tech myself... Only rumour has it being very interesting for developers. But it was very expensive, and I couldn't afford it. I do hope some owner of them is reading us and would accept to scan and/or share them.

The highlight of several vacations where we drove through Germany (from Norway, via Sweden/Denmark), was picking up Amiga and C64 magazines mostly from Markt & Technik ... They, combined with Das Guru Buch, were probably the main factors to get me to actually care about doing well in my German lessons at school.

(Ok, I just realized I claimed that the highlight of several of my summer holidays was to buy computer magazines - at  guess that sounds a bit sad )

64'er was fantastic. I hope someone will contribute copies of that. (EDIT: I see http://www.homecomputerworld.de/ has a bunch of articles etc. from 64'er, but unfortunately not full issue scans)

Also, people, don't forget the Amiga Magazine Rack, though in general the pages available is quite spotty it also has a few non-English magazines: http://amr.abime.net/magazines

(a joint effort to consolidate the two sets would be amazing...)

This is a fantastic labour of love and all Amigans and other computer fans surely must thank you so much for your dedication and hard work in getting this resource to this stage.

I salute you!
