  1. A post on WOS (The lesser used Spectrum forum ), reminded me of my first own bought computer magazine, Your Computer and the #vic20 type-in listing of Snake. From this listing I learnt how to redesign the character set and create UDGS on a #vic20

  2. #Doom was released OTD 30 years ago. It, and Wolfenstein, were so mind-blowingly good from a technical perspective that Xander Antoniades wanted to just flat-out interview Carmack and Romero. _Software Development_ magazine didn't do "interviews," and "business numbers." I wrote an editorial calendar, clipped potential advertisers, commissioned some articles, and the first issue of Game Developer hit the streets in April 94. #ComputerMagazines #GDC #gamedev

  3. The specific debate on whether an AI-generated image is art may be new, but it's hardly the first time Technology's 'intrusion' into Art has been debated. :heart_cyber:

  4. We'll be watching this video about scanning old computer magazines tonight, which should have interesting discussion about copyright issues.

Think I'll go off to eBay for a browse. Not that I don't already have enough of my own in house! youtube.com/watch?v=oNS4TJDjDi
