Missing Magazines from the 80s

[picosonic]

Also found "Snakes & Ladders" for the Atom by A. Worral in C&VG magazine July 1982 if you want that?

[picosonic]

Also found "Haunted House" for the Atom by Alec Pearson in C&VG magazine August 1982 if you want that?

[hoglet]

Do you have "Monster" for the Atom by Markus Jakobsson from C&VG Nov 1982?

Yes, we have this one:

[hoglet]

Also found "Bug Battle" for the Atom by G.Dunnet in C&VG magazine September 1983 if you want that?

We have that one as well (coverage of C&VG is good, as all the issues were online):

[hoglet]

Also found "Snakes & Ladders" for the Atom by A. Worral in C&VG magazine July 1982 if you want that?

We already have that:

[picosonic]

Not sure if it's counted as a game but found "Predictor" for the BBC/Electron in Personal Computing Today May 1984. it doesn't appear on the bbcmicro.co.uk site. Let me know if you want that.

[picosonic]

Found "Knights" for the BBC by Freda Perrow in Personal Computing Today May 1983 which isn't on bbcmicro.co.uk, again let me know if you want pics of that.

[hoglet]

Also found "Haunted House" for the Atom by Alec Pearson in C&VG magazine August 1982 if you want that?

I think I actually typed this one in myself!

As far as I remember, we have 100% coverage from C&VG, but if you spot anything we missed:

But we don't have any Atom titles from Personal Comupting Today, where you located Trang from.

Many thanks,

Dave

[hoglet]

Are you interested in any of these others which I have?

I'm very interested in the Atom listings from Personal Computing Today, which are all MIA:
viewtopic.php?p=359913#p359913

(We currently have nothing in the Atom Software Archive from Personal Computing Today)

From the covers you posted it looks like there are Atom type-ins in the following:
- November 1982
- December 1982
- March 1983
- May 1983

Plus any others you can find.

Hi,
I don't need Predictor, but I will have KNIGHTS please

I have a feeling it isn't game, but maybe a version of "Knight's Tour"?

Thanks,

Lee.

Let me know if you need anything from Personal Software - Spring 1983 as I cannot see the following on bbc games archive, but then again my searching skills are crap

Gomuka
The Maze
Life

[leenew]

Thanks for "Knights".
I don't need anything from Personal Software Spring 1983.
I have already typed them all in.
It should be pointed out that there are still hundreds of games that have been typed in but not yet uploaded to the site.....

Atom listings are as follows ..

November 1982 - No code listings, but there is a list of software available for the Atom and the suppliers details
December 1982 - Atom Chainloader p71 by Bruce Smith
March 1983 - Inverse video p66 by N.Tonks
May 1983 - Calendar (perpetual calendar) p80 by Barry Pickles

Let me know if you want any of these capturing or are you only interested in games?

If it's not too much trouble, I would love to see all of these articles captured.

I'll post them in the Atom Software Archive thread

[picosonic]

Once photos are taken from these magazines they’re being donated to RMC for the cave library. I was there last night and they have loads of other magazines if you would like me to look the next time I’m volunteering there.

I was volunteering at the RMC Cave on Friday night. There are tons of magazines but no Personal Computing World or any others which may have listings for Acorn computers except the usual suspects (A&B / Micro User / Acorn User / Electron User / C&VG) - I imagine you’ve already got listings from all of those or they’re online somewhere.

Hi picosonic,
I missed Personal Computing Today November 1984!
This should have a "Stockmarket" game for the beeb

Thanks in advance!

Lee.

[picosonic]

Hi, I visited the Cave today and found Personal Computing World from November 1984 for you.

These are the pics of the Stockmarket simulation listings. Hope they come out ok, thanks.
