Right guys, this time we really need your help in finding Amiga Format Issue 96 April 1997, the final magazine to complete the collection.
![]() This probably won't be an internet search as I have spent countless hours searching to either download or buy, but no one, and I mean no one, appears to have it anywhere ![]() So, all I'm asking is if you could put your feelers out to family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues, libraries, car boot sales, or anywhere else you can think of so we can have the Internets/worlds first complete collection of Amiga Format Issues #001 Aug 1989 - #136 May 2000 I know you EABers won't let us down, as it's all for the Amiga cause ![]() |

I have almost every AF sat up on my loft ATM... I will be selling them off maybe in the next few weeks even? (Though I should get rid of the Amiga Powers first)

@CIA admins Any **immediate** plans to catalogue any of the mags? Codetapper, myself and the other AMR guys have found that for any given mag, scanning often is the lesser of the two evils, and by quite a ways!! ![]() |

These magazines are also being cataloged by TOSEC-PIX and Jason Scott is cataloging and hosting them with the rest of the TOSEC project on http://archive.org/details/amigaformatmagazine
Details can be found here http://www.tosecdev.org/index.php/fo...hp?topic=500.0 |

Unless I'm missing something, where does Archive.org provide that for any of the Amiga Format issues that are hosted? |

For the more discerning reader who wants to find particular reviews/previews, special features etc., it can be more frustrating than enjoyable because you have access to the mags, but no way of finding anything without going through the painstaking process of manually searching the archive. Cataloguing is the much greater evil! Why? Simple answer.....it's more time-consuming and a lot less sexier than scanning, which means that people are much less motivated to contribute. |

CiA doesn't have problems purchasing the mags, just at the time of that post of mine asking for issue 96, there were no auctions offering it, and also no where else seemed to have it on offer either.
We do check, but of late we have had other pressing engagements that have required immediate attention, which have taken us away from some of our normal duties on the forum and website. I don't think, as of yet, we are going to catalogue any of the mags, because we are concentrating on all commodore mags, and not just Amiga, we'll have a tenfold increase of mags to do, and I don't really see how we can sensibly catalogue all of these mags with the number of staff/volunteers we actually have. Maybe the best we can do is type out the main contents for each mag, but not have the contents searchable like how AMR has it. I guess I can understand your concerns regarding cataloguing these mags, and indeed how much more time consuming it will be. I suppose the motivation is not really in the hearts of most people, but only in a few dedicated people, which is a shame. Time is usually a major factor in anything people do, and wives ![]() I guess for now, we will just be hosting the mags, but at a much higher quality, along with many more commodore related mags, so for now at least, AMR and you guys have got the worlds most complete catalogued amiga magazine database anyone could wish for, which in itself is a great feat, and I take my hat off to you all for the countless hours work that you have all voluntary put in over the years ![]() |

![]() What would be even better, though, is some collaboration between projects to plug the holes between magazine scans and cataloguing of contents, but the Amiga community has always been a splintered lot since the Escom days and there has been countless duplication of various Amiga projects over the years in the name of empire-building. The 8-bit communities (C64 and Spectrum, in particular), on the other hand, understand what collaboration is about far better and have achieved much more across the board with respect to non-profit projects that have benefited their communities as a whole. Sure, time is always a limiting factor with any online project that is non-profit.......but I think empire-building has been a much bigger stumbling block and is a sad indictment of the Amiga online community. Not sure it'll ever change a great deal, but I sure do hope that EAB's spirit of altruism and collaboration becomes a lot more contagious in the short- and longer-term. Anyway, must get back to work.......ciao for now! ![]() Last edited by DrBong; 25 June 2013 at 14:05. |

Whoever's in charge of the "Commodore is awesome" website that hosts (amongst other things) a great quantity of Amiga Formats for downloading in PDF format, page 5 of the Amiga Format mag collection appears to be corrupted. It only shows 2 huge half images of 2 mags and that's it. Pages 1 to 4, and 6 appear to be ok. Maybe it's just me, I dunno, but could you take a look and and let me know as I think there's a couple of new mags added I'd like to get hold of and they're on that page!! (Just so you know, I use Firefox).
