Title: Disk Mag
Post by: steve on 14:33, 16 January 11
I found 2 videos on youtube about a 1996 diskmag called Focus, they are not complete but if anyone has the real diskmags, perhaps they could put them in the magazine section of the wiki.



issue 1 and 2.

Both issue 1 (http://ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/amstrad/zines/FOCUS1.ZIP) and issue 2 (http://ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/amstrad/zines/FOCUS2.ZIP) can be downloaded from the LIP6 FTP site.

I remember Focus well. In my opinion, it was very well presented and showed a lot of promise, and it's a shame there were only two issues. (The writers quote my own review in issue 2! ;D)

Haven't seen Focus before. (Probably because it doesn't work on a CPC464?). Will check it out.

But I want new discmags.
Discmags are cozy. And they can't be replaced by the internet in my opinion.
The internet is constantly alive, and changes every day. A website it far from static.
A DiscMag should be something that contains sum-it-ups, stories, stats from that certain time. A timestamp from then. Something that's rarely kept visible on a website.

Invent some format and create engines for the CPC + PC + whatever, in order to please everyone. How hard can it be?  :)
Gimme a discmag!  8)

If you're creating one, don't keep it a secret! Let us know so we can send content. Surely any kind of CPC-related content is welcome?
