NE146 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Joystik magazine - "How to Win at Home Videogames" - December 1982 I posted this in usenet a while ago but then realized I had enough webspace to hold it too.. Most of you oldies remember Joystik. There were a couple of scanned issues online at spies.com courtesy of DLH at bombjack.or, but those seem to be all but dead now. It was great although they tended to not scan the pages that dealt with home games But anyway, the ONE missing issue was always the December 1982 "special" which focused on home videogames (Joystik generally focused on arcade games). So I had a scanner and the magazine, so here it is. In full. Kind of cool. Lots of 2600 games covered as well as others. It's my first scanning attempt.. and I didn't make it as good a resolution as I should have. But oh well. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/userid947/Joystik/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvgene Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Got them off of A.B.E.M. But, thanks for the post either way. I love the 4 out of ten that they give Adventure!

BydoEmpire Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Cool. I have one with a different cover (probably a later reprint). It's spiral bound and has screenshots of different games on the front, along with "pixely" artwork of different game characters. IIRC, the publishing date was 1983, but I'd have to check at home. Unfortunately, I got it when I was about ten or twelve, so there are big pen marks circling the games I wanted. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy-sixer Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 That's some good stuff. Thanks for posting those scans!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 What is really funny is the write up they did on Atari 5200. Check out the first few pages. They talk about it eventually having a voice synt. and many other things. "It looks like the 5200 is the system to beat this year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
