Lite Reading

diskzine dayz

Every now and then, I take a break from playing/writing to dive into my collection of disk magazines. It’s fascinating to revisit something from these ancient times, as my daughter likes to call them!! These disks are essentially time machines, providing historical perspectives on events as they unfolded. Of course, the subject matter doesn’t have to be serious; it could simply be anything AtariST-related or something daft.

We’re travelling back to 1991 with Maggie #05. It has dodgy wallpaper, but the magazine’s contents are top-notch. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this issue, which has loads of articles and some great game tips! It’s a fantastic magazine for a leisurely afternoon flick through. Ahh, I miss the days of #diskmags...

Do you still read disk magazines? Good. Which are your favourites?

• I need to improve and add to it, but there is a diskmag section here on AtariCrypt.
• Atarimania has a great section for disk magazines (not all are English)
• The mighty Demozoo has all the credits and download/links...

Wow, that wallpaper!! You can alter the frequency and change the background music.

Hints n Tips... Help with Yolanda is gratefully received! lol

This magazine has sections with interesting background information. Love it!!

One of the most interesting pages for an old demoscene fan like me.

Wait? What is this... lol I love the '90s.

Loads of game reviews! Wouldn't you think I'd be bored with those by now?

Wow, those were the days. I wish I had a time machine... sigh...
