Amiga Advis – Status update

Amiga Advis 1997 05The section Amiga Advis (Danish) is now in a “complete” state. Which means that it has the frontpage of all the magazines I have of this magazine, plus I’ve marked which magazines are still missing from this list.

If you, or someone you know, has access to any of the missing mags, and are willing to lend/part of these mags, please contact me so I can scan them, or you can scan yourself.

TAST

TASTA new section with all it’s mags are now open. TAST is a Danish magazine, containing type-in programs for the Commodore 64. All these scans are done by Trash99, which was done a long time ago.

The new section can be found from the Magazines menu under Danish.

Amiga Advis 5/97 added

Amiga Advis 1997 05So it’s time yet for an other magazine. The magazines are added more or less of a random, but no more random that what lies on top of the stack of magazines.

I had to scan this magazine at 2 different times. Apparently I was missing a few pages after the first time. Luckily I don’t throw out the magazines after they are scanned. They are donated to the museum only after it’s verified, uploaded and then verified again. So far I have 3 plastic bags ready to be delivered after post-processing them. I hope to bring some more during this week, so stay tuned.

Updated List! software package

I’ve updated the software package for the List! magazine. There are now 6 type-ins, where one has been taken from GB64. I’ve named the new package as v2, version bumping will happen when more filles gets added.

Thanks to RetroPlay for typing (copy/paste ocr) these games.

The package now consists of:

  • (c64) 4 på stribe (4 in a row)
  • (c64) Bøvse Reset (Burp/Belch Reset)
  • (c64) Darth Vaders revenge
  • (c64) Hot Space Duel (from GB64)
  • (c64) Intruders
  • (c16) Car Race

Amiga Advis 1/99

Amiga Advis 1/99Yet an other Danish Magazine is added, Amiga Advis 1/99.

I recently bought a Blu-Ray burner so I can backup the scanned images here. Yes I’m keeping the original images, but also the post-processed ones. Since each page is around 28megs, it’s a lot of data even for DVD’s. I ordered some Blu-Ray media, but I received DVD media instead, the person who packed it even put a checkmark for the packed stuff. I wonder how one can see a 25 pack blu-ray spindle, becomes a 50 pack dvd spindle. Anyway since I didn’t have much space on my NAS, 5GB free, I’m now making a backup of all finished stuff to a harddrive.

This will hopefully make enought space for the vast amounts of magazines, books and manuals I’ve stored on my portable computer.

New section, List

List! Issue 01RetroPlay, who are known for making new WHDLoad releases, got this magazine in an auction. At the time of writing it isn’t known if this is the only Issue ever released.

A great Thanks to RetroPlay for aquiring this magazine.

On an other note. Kiwi, over at http://oldgamemags.com, is putting a last hand on tweaking his site using my PHP script. I think we are both equally satisfied with the result.
At a later time, I might implement the code on this site here as well. He had some very good ideas which I really like.
