My family subscribed to this magazine back in the day. So many fun hours reading and re-reading the articles and fantasizing about having each one of the computers they were writing about. The ads were fun too.
This is how I learned to code as a young age. I typed in every single program they had. The most challenging was the hex-based music machine they printed, which was difficult as someone who both couldn't type and didn't understand the mechanics of what I was typing.
Same! The worst was when you double and triple checked that you typed it right, only for next month to have an "oops we made a typo haha". K-Power section was always the best!
Man, watching history videos on YouTube about the rise and fall of the Amiga and Atari ST is one heck of a bittersweet "what could have been"
Smart businessman, but not the best reputation as a boss or for creating a pleasant work environment, even by the standards of the day.
