oky2000

....along with an Atari website to showcase this stuff with a combined ST/A8/VCS interactive magazine for gaming and upgrades published on the site bi-monthly. However I don't see the point any more so I just wont bother. I guess the old die-hard 'Oky2000' haters will be muttering "Commodore CUNT" under their breath but the truth is, with some notable exceptions, that generally the A8 people here are bitter, jaded, greedy, rude and unhelpful.

Every single time I have asked for even the slightest bit of help you are met with a wall of silence, or worse still animosity. In contrast people on other forums for different machines GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to help someone who just wants to get into a new machine and do cool projects. Some of these people even sell/donate things way below the perceived *R@RE* value of items on ebay. Though I'm not a charity and I don't expect anything other than an even handed fair deal or just some friendly help pointing me somewhere else.

I think some of you people need to have a long hard look at your attitude, yeah sure the A8 wasn't programmed to within an inch of its life in the past unlike the C64 but then nor was the Amiga with maybe only 10 games out of 10,000 released even coming close to it (and I don't take that out on ST users). But the Amiga community are not like this at all, they WILL help anyone, even someone who says the A500 is fucking ugly P.O.S. to boot compared to the Atari 520STM.

So this is pretty much where those people who regard me as the "Commodore Cunt" can open a six pack and celebrate because I just won't bother any more with the A8 community.

I will have my hands full getting replica C64 and Amiga cases manufactured anyway, so no time for these dinky little A8 fun projects that wouldn't make me any money. The people that are helpful around this section of AA are on other forums anyway so no problem. Win/Win for everyone involved

At least I leave with a greater knowledge of the A8 and a large number of cool games I never knew existed. Hell I even seem to have disk/tape images for games that Atarimania doesn't even have downloads for so I guess it wasn't a waste of time all things considered.

Not seen scans of this magazine before on the net and it had this interview in there.

Stock machines nice condition and working, looking for swaps for other A8 or interesting stuff for EACH. ie I don't want to swap all three for one 1200XL.Also not interested in 600XL thanks

Name your swap and which machine you want.

(I am in England)

Just need a 520/1040STF case but it would be a shame to use an ST that works/is repairable.

Yellowing not bothered about. I'm in the UK.

It really is time NOW to make sure these magazines are not lost forever and we have them all digitally stored for everyone to enjoy before getting them becomes impossible.

So here is the deal, I have an excellent scanner, and I have the time to do it.

Here is the offer, send me the mags, I will scan them.

So I am interested in all ST specific magazines, every issue, all those in the title and any more you know of which nobody is scanning seriously like say ST Action too.

If you have any magazines you would like to see scanned and then available for everyone in the world to access for free from a website then please do your very best to find the magazines and PM me so we can get the ball rolling.

Once these magazines are gone they are gone for good, we need to start doing this ASAP because even Amiga magazines which have had much more attention from scanners are becoming difficult to complete whole sets (CD32 Gamer, Amiga Power, Amiga Format, The ONE Amiga etc).

Now is the time, magazines get harder to find with each new ebay joke of a change of policy and people in their 100s just throw them away rather than LOSE MONEY thanks to greedy ebay fees!
