+David_P Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 MACAM Newsletter - January 1988.pdf As part of my lockdown cleanup / getting things organized, I'm starting to scan the half dozen or so versions of the MACAM - Montreal Atari Club Atari de Montreal newsletter that I have. Lots of cut and paste from online services, but with a twist - most were also translated into French. This is the very first; more to follow as I scan & combine them (my ADF is single sided). 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ATARI 8-bit material in French language is to be cherished. In France, we had ATARI centric publications such as l'ATARIEN, Pokey!, some very decent coverage in SVM, Tilt!, Micro7 (..) plus various user clubs' publications so there was no deficit of material but, compared to the Amstrad CPC, C64 scene (...), we obviously didn't have as much. There probably was some French speaking material in Belgium as well but @Fred_M would be the person to ask. No matter what, I'm just amazed that there actually was French language material devoted to the Atari 8-bit in Canada even if it's a user's group newsletter. I also wonder why Bits and Bytes was never translated in French (Ontario has a decent French speaking community). Merci. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was. I picked up an ultra rare set of four issues of a magazine called Acacia-Run from 1986-87 several weeks ago. It's a bit difficult to scan but we'll make it available soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
