ST Action #42 is now available.

Games for Windows #17 is now available.

This is the last issue of the title (and could also be considered the final issue of Computer Gaming World, since that's what it was before the name change)

I bought a lot of issues of Computer Gaming World back in the day before throwing them out for which I kick myself now. I thought the artwork/style of the mags from about #60 through to around #120 were the best in my opinion and I stopped buying them about a year later. Can't remember out why I dumped them now. Sigh!!

Yes, you've said that before.  I look forward to seeing your scans of the missing early issues, if you've got them (issue 1,2, and 4.)  Of course it would be pointless to compare these with later issues since they'd obviously look better, being both newer and possibly printed on different stock.

I don't have the early issues. I only starting reading them from 1998 onwards.

Seriously, mags whose ink comes off on your fingers?  That's acceptable in newspapers, but piss poor printing for magazines.

It definitely must be weak printing paper because that's definitely never happened to me either.

It's all good though.  It really doesn't matter how old a mag looks when it's scanned.  If edited properly, it will look better than even the best preserved physical specimen, and be available for all to enjoy.

Absolutely! They're looking really nice. Much appreciated! 👍

Also, I've gotta wonder...how exactly are you scanning your mags so that your finger could possibly be reflected??  Seems impossible even if you WANTED your finger in the scan...

After I made that post I thought about it and you're correct, that's unlikely if I've scanned it and I did of course scan it flat. I think before I scanned the mag I was playing around with the reflective lettering since I'm not used to seeing something like that on a mag which is why in my mind I merged it having happened during my scanning. I think I've sold that particular magazine but anyway it was fun at the time having a little mirror on a mag.

Speaking of GM I did upload one regular issue. I wonder if Kiwi got it? It was the Jan 2007 issue.

Interestingly this issue was published by Argus Press who were responsible for publications like Computer Gamer. I thought they had disappeared by the late 1980's this was a surprise to see it. Later issues of this title were published by Alphavite so either they sold the title to them or it died and the later issues are a completely separate title. Not sure which so they are bundled together until I find out otherwise..

Your assumption is correct, mate. Alphavite bought both Your Amiga and YC from Argus (and possibly a 3rd mag that I can't recall...). BTW this was the first standalone issue of Your Amiga - before this it was a pull-out supplement in Your Commodore.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Now I know I don't have to make another magazine category
