Hello fellow amigists.
I've come across your AMR project and liking it so far, I'd like to contribute to it. But since the magazines here are somewhat different than on the British Isles, there are some questions.
But first, a quick introduction to the finnish magazines: There were basically just three different computer magazines that covered the Amiga:
MikroBitti - the first dedicated general computer mag in Finland, still alive
C-lehti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(magazine)) - a spin-off from MikroBitti, the only magazine that was solely dedicated to the Commodore-brand. This ran from 1987 till 1991 on a bi-monthly basis
Pelit - "the largest games magazine in Scandinavia" is another spin-off, this games-only magazine (hence the name "pelit") started in 1992 and is still around
None of the magazines carried cover disks or CD-ROMs, so you can forget about that.
Now C-lehti is the most interesting of the three mentioned. Unfortunately, I have none in my collection (although I distinctively remember reading them). I do however know some people who have all the issues, but I'll have to show them it's worth the trouble.
In the meantime, I have some issues of Mikrobitti and Pelit. But since both of them are multiplatform magazines, some will have Amiga and PC-games in the same page. In some cases they review both the Amiga and PC-version side by side. This is more apparent with Pelit-magazine. So if I go scanning pages, don't be surprised if you get some "unnecessary" information. :blased Hopefully you can stomach this.
How does that sound? Should I go ahead?
