You can use print screen, paste to Word and save as PDF. It should be easier to find PDF file somewhere.

Completely agree, it's only a fiver. It's not like it racks up millions of sales every month and carries masses of advertising. Magazine sales suffer enough these days and a more niche publication like Retro Gamer probably can't afford to lose too many sales through this sort of attitude.

I'll be popping into town this afternoon to pick up a copy from Smiths.
Had a quick read in the cafe while I had my lunch. Good article so far. Will read the rest tonight.

In the Retro Gamer article John Twiddy mentions his old hard drive with the Super Putty files on not spinning. I wonder if that could just have been due to "stiction", where the heads stick to the platters stopping them from spinning up. Last year I powered up my first Amiga hard drive (86MB Fujitsu, not used for ~15 years) and it didn't spin up. It just sort of clicked several times.
I ended up putting a mouse mat on a flat surface, then slammed the drive on its side down onto the mat. That must have dislodged the heads, because it did spin up after that (and I could read all the data). So that could be worth trying. Of course, for really valuable data you should probably take it to a professional company for recovery. |

Finally got around to reading this today. Great read!
Thanks again to Galahad and Novacoder for all the work that went into finally bringing us Putty Squad! Obviously thanks also go to Retro Gamer for the article and System 3...

Picked up a copy today. Not read it since I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago... I think I'll give it another read to see if things have improved.

Galahad as you have contacts at retrogamer can you see if you can push them to do an "Amiga Book" . Similar to these

What a great mag this is. No PDF's, just buy it. Loved the issue (Paperboy fan), the Putty article is excellent - particularly amusing the bit about Galahad's 'colourful' past.
