Issues of Amiga Format....

Basquemactee1 · 17 November 2011, 17:12

Does anyone know where to get hold of complete issues (in PDF format or other..) to d/l and read at leisure? I've looked at the magix FTP site and basically there's zilch, but for example CU Amiga there's loads!

More than anything it's for a letter I wrote to them and I'd love to read it again (just to see what a cabbage I really was), and I'm buggered if I can remember which issue it was!!

Any help, greatly appreciated.

While they dont yet have all issues of Amiga Format, could can find some at:

Amiga Format (full scans) at your leisure http://awesome.commodore.me/downloads/magazine/

Not all of them yet, but the scanning of most is already underway, except for 9 issues that we don't have yet.

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 15:31

tell me the 9 you need. If I have them they are yours.

DH · 11 December 2012, 17:44

These are our missing issues :-

Amiga Format - Issue 095 (1997-03)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 096 (1997-04)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 099 (1997-07)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 100 (1997-08)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 101 (1997-09)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 103 (1997-11)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 110 (1998-05)(Future Publishing)(GB)
Amiga Format - Issue 114 (1998-09)(Future Publishing)(GB)

I see... thanks... I hope I never become a bot!

I hope DDNI has those issues DH!

Kitty · 11 December 2012, 19:45

What you got DDNI?

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 20:07

will go out to the store now. I think I have all of those.

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 20:25

I have found 8 of the 9.
95,96,100,101,103,110,114,116

I am sure I have 99 somewhere...

Peter · 11 December 2012, 20:29

Nice!

Maybe DDNI has some cover disks CIA might need... (Hint Hint!!) :-)

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 20:36

I have very few coverdisks, I never kept them intact they always got recycled for :cough BACKUPS :cough

Basquemactee1 · 11 December 2012, 20:36

Cheers Demon, I went on to this site a couple of weeks ago and grabbed the whole damn lot....lol!!

Good work fellas!

np Basquemactee1, glad to be of service

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 21:08

Found issue 99.

Let me know where to send them

@Peter I have nearly all of the CDs though...

Peter · 11 December 2012, 21:50

That's great news about the mags DDNI! Thanks!

I think all the CD's are present and accounted for... unless you have any weird special issue ones?

OT - DDNI do you have any Amiga VHS videos?

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 21:51

No VHS sorry. I have some of the AF Subscribers inserts though.

Peter · 11 December 2012, 22:00

OK mate no probs - I'll let DH respond to those subs disks as he will know what is needed.

DH · 11 December 2012, 22:03

Are these the backstage mags DDNI? If so, yes please mate

DDNI · 11 December 2012, 22:12

Dunno how many I have, they are a bit scattered. Will hunt them out.

DH · 11 December 2012, 22:26

Thanks DDNI, you are awesome mate

bugsthor · 18 January 2013, 20:22

i have 99% of the amiga format, including some of the rare specail addition ones.
also some duplicates.

Basquemactee1 · 19 January 2013, 14:26

Bugsthor, do you have them stored anywhere online in PDF format available for d/l? If so, can I rob them please pretty please....:-)

bugsthor · 20 January 2013, 03:47

I have the hard copy (the mags) but if you give me a little time i`ll see if i can down load those at HOL or AMR and see if i can make them into PDF for you, and the Amiga community. got to practice a little >_<

bugsthor · 20 January 2013, 04:44

i have cover disk also. if needed let me know.

bugsthor · 20 January 2013, 08:27

OK i hope noone gets upset with me and using their downlaod bandwidth. but i`ve started downloading the Amiga Format mags from AMR and converting them to PDF format.
i shall put them in THE ZONE. if thats not ok. i shall host them myself.

Basquemactee1 · 20 January 2013, 18:02

Aren't those on AMR only odd pages not the full mags?

bugsthor · 20 January 2013, 21:37

you want the the adverts also ?

i do have them. will scan when i have time if you want, as the mags wont last forever will they and there is`nt that many of them compared to proper info pages.

It`s also been my intention to make them into a proper web page at some point, i may start work on it soon.

Basquemactee1 · 20 January 2013, 22:34

If possible bugsthor taht would be great. It's purely because I want to collect the mags exactly as they were with the adverts, letters, the lot. Some people may think I'm nuts but it feels more "complete" like that to me.

bugsthor · 21 January 2013, 18:24

ok , i will find the time to do it for you. starting with issue 1

Basquemactee1 · 22 January 2013, 00:44

Thanks bugsthor, just so you know I am missing the issues not on this site (which is hosting a great collection)

http://awesome.commodore.me/downloads/magazine/

bugsthor · 22 January 2013, 06:39

oh your the webmaster of that site then ?

Kitty · 22 January 2013, 23:28

I'm the webmaster of awesome.commodore.me, we have all full pdf mags of every AF magazine on AMR already btw, Also as Basquemactee1 mentioned most on AMR aren't complete magazines.
As for the coverdisks we have all those too I think, I would have to double check though.
We have a lot of AF stuff ready to be added to the site soon including cover cds and extras.

The list of missing AF magazines is on our forum

prowler · 22 January 2013, 23:34

Hey Kitty,

It's not just Commodore that's awesome; the Commodore Is Awesome website is too!

Kitty · 22 January 2013, 23:38

thanks prowler for your kind words

ofc Commodore is Awesome is a 'team' effort and I would also like to again thank everyone who was and is currently involved with the website

Expect some new and exciting changes/additions in the upcoming months

Basquemactee1 · 23 January 2013, 18:10

Definitely Kitty, that website is truly outstanding, especially for old timers like me. I even found the Amiga Format in which I'd written to them suggesting they changed the letter of the month prize to a subscription to the mag for the year, and they not only took me up on it, but also actually gave me the first subscription as a prize!! My one and only proud prize winning moment!

quahappy · 23 January 2013, 19:41

Wow! Excellent work, Kitty (and all those that contributed). I've just rediscovered AF issue 72. It felt mighty strange reading the review of my game, Poker Mania (PD), after all these years!
