It's time for a good read
I've not been feeling too good over the weekend so I've sadly, not been able to play, record or write for my favourite Atari ST website. (
Yes, this one!!) Typical though, isn't it? After being at work all week, I get myself a dose of the dreaded man flu. Let me tell you, women, there is nothing worse than this illness. Scientific fact. Honest.
As I've not been in the mood, I just popped over to
Fujiology and grabbed a random diskmag. I love reading these - when I get a chance - and the ST has so many to choose from. In the end, I downloaded
Amazine #4 by HMD which is probably one of the most short-lived magazines ever? I wonder what happened to No.5 /etc? How odd :/
Amazine #4 begins with a fantastic intro by Animal Mine - which has jaw-dropping fx. The magazine itself is displayed using medium resolution so it looks gorgeous and is very easy on the eyes. (
I remember my old flickery SC1224). Inside are all kinds of information relevant to the early 90s which is both incredibly interesting and also a shame, especially when you see various productions that never got finished - Yuppies Land. I also enjoyed the interviews and then seeing who topped the leaderboard for best artist, musician and more. Geeky fun!!
Sometimes ... ugh... I wish I could be ill more often so I can take the time to relax with a good diskmag like this. The Atari ST has such an impressive library, covering a wide range of topics and interests. I enjoyed this one: it's interesting, funny, geeky and something today's youngsters will probably never appreciate. Check out these screenshots...
I love megademos but they can be spread too thin with fillers. I prefer dentros myself!
I love the GUI and how it pushes the pages across... Looks cool in ST Medium resolution too!
What? Fuzion are dead?? Right, come on guys, own it - who killed the Fuzion boys??
This was an interesting and sobering read and I would have enjoyed Yuppie's Land...
