Identify a diskmag?

MrD · 19 September 2012, 20:32

I'm trying to remember the name of (something like) a diskmag I saw very briefly once many years ago. It's possible I'm just imagining the entire thing.

Here's what I can remember:

- Ran on A500.

- It probably came on a disk together with a really small cracked game.

- On the frontmost page, they had a mascot that looked similar to Garfield the cat.

- You could configure the background and foreground colours with the F keys.

- There was background music.

Does that sound familiar to anyone? :/

Stolen Data maybe? Just can't remember if you could change the colors in that mag though.

The only diskmag I remember that had a garfield the cat on the front was Grapevine diskmag #6 but that wasn't their mascot, it was just a random picture that changed every new diskmag + there was no option to change foreground and background colours, only disable the colours but that was well into the main page iirc.

Here's a screenshot

I doubt it was this, so sorry in advance

Thanks, Stingray. I've had a look at all the Stolen Data disks that are on bttr, but it's none of those unfortunately.

edit- and I'm afraid it's not that either, Demon.

All of these have distinct pages and I think the one I can't remember had smooth vertical scrolling.

Are you sure this isn't the short lived Rampage diskmagazine that was actually a commercial endeavour?

It was a commercial diskmag that also happened to give away a free game with the diskmag.

I haven't been able to track down any rampage images to have a look.

I started look through the diskmags in the file server for rampage, and also looking for images from around the same year and I think I've found the one I was thinking of! Coders Scene Magazine!

Hurrah!

Looks like I was wrong about the scrolling. Maybe I got it mixed up with Loons Docs or something like that.

The first time I saw this was when I was... I dunno... six years old. Just as crap as I remember it. I think it was crammed on a disk with Rick Dangerous 2/3D Pool/Rockstar.a.m.H./Pipe-Mania. Loved Pipe-Mania, I did.

Thanks for the advice, folks.

If anybody downloads the CSM issue 4 image, you might be interested to know that issues 1-3 are also on the disk! If you exit the magazine, the previous issue loads.
