I was a little surprised how small it is, I was thinking it would be at least A4/Letter size.

Glad you got the magazine.

Sorry you assumed it was bigger, it was listed as A5 size on the shop listing.
To archive the high print and paper quality and to have 40 pages and not 20 i went with A5 instead of A4.

DamienD · 23 August 2018, 22:33

A5 is cool, good for reading when on the tube etc.

Gordon · 23 August 2018, 22:41

I was happy with the size. And the content. Especially the A to Z you started. Just sad I didn't get any lemmings goodness.

Look forward to issue 2 though! Thanks

I was not paying attention, I just ordered it.

I did exactly the same. Didn't look, just ordered and got a surprise when it turned up in its dinky little A5 form. I have absolutely no complaints about the size though, I love it!

It's been a very enjoyable read, makes me nostalgic for the times of picking up my monthly Amiga magazines from the local newsagent.

So as the kids are not in school and I wanted to do a video about this magazine and sadly it seems it can't be done. There is way too much noise in this house be it night or day.

My second option was to do a write up on my blog so this is what I did late last night. I hope you enjoy it and will keep following the blog as it will be filled with all kinds of content.

@Amigajay, just wanted to say I was pleasently surprised by finding the Mag in the mail (i'm in Sweden). Nice job there :-)

nujack · 25 August 2018, 14:48

Thank you for the great mag and Cover-CD. Awesome!
Was a great experience. The nineties are back.

wanderer · 12 September 2018, 21:55

Lovely stuff, thank you - ordered and anxiously waiting!

MickGyver · 12 September 2018, 22:48

Ok, thanks!

Hey AmigaJay, would you mind to put Cobe's Pong4 CD32 on the next cover disc? See here: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...1&postcount=13

Looking forward to the next issue.

BTW, do you offer the cover disk somewhere to download? My CD is at my parents house (where my CD32 is), but I wanted to try CD in FS-UAE as well. If not, no problem, then I will wait till I am at my parent's again.

Amigajay · 15 September 2018, 12:01

Update:

Last few copies of the paper magazine remain, i have had some requests to sell a PDF version, i know i was against it, but since the paper version has been sold out and no more will be printed i see no harm in selling a PDF version now.

Along with allowing the cover disc to be freely available to download due to the end of the exclusivity deal.

Details are in the first post.

Jay

wanderer · 15 September 2018, 12:41

Sold out - nice! Any chance you could consider sending the PDF to those with the print edition? Wouldn't mind ordering the PDF separately though

Nearly sold out, will do in a few days i expect.

No sorry the PDF wasnt part of the print magazine deal.

Havie · 01 December 2018, 20:21

Not hassling but can we expect an issue 2? Issue 1 was great and we need to get through the alphabet of CD32 games!

thairacerjp · 03 January 2019, 01:01

best news of the new year ! i understand that it's a huge work to fill 40 pages of news, you could talk about the new Hardware to (the forecoming TF330, gamepads....., just a suggestion

), i will order for sure

MickGyver · 03 January 2019, 01:05

Great news, looking forward to the next issue!
