WizWor Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was 'thumbing' through the scans of ROM magazine. What a treat. The reviews of new releases are interesting. I've found a couple new games to try based on excellent reviews. I also enjoyed the ads. I rarely bought online in those days, but it was nice to dream about all the cool things you could get for an Atari computer. Too bad there are not more scans. I subscribed to Antic from inception to finale. I tossed the magazines a decade ago. I wish I hadn't. If I had them, I'd be scanning them. I have looked at atarimagazines.com. They have invested a lot of time in transcribing Antic and I appreciate that, but it's not the same as thumbing through the magazine -- hardcopy or scan. Does anyone know of a repository for old magazine scans? Especially Antic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well I don't know if you're at all interested but there are a bunch of A.N.A.L.O.G. Magazine here /T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 These aren't scanned, but you'd probably be interested in the Digital Antic Project at http://www.atarimagazines.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross PK Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Scans are nice but again, just like games, I'd much rather have the real thing. And magazines really aren't that expensive. I think the reason why there aren't many scans of magazines online is because even to just scan one magazine in, it takes absolutely ages.
