Hungarian Papermags
-------------------
At this point of time, four mags are
dealing with the wonder machine. The
oldest one is CoV (Commodore Világ -
Commodore World). This black&white
mag is only about games and rarely
utilities. Its power is in its
humour. CoVBoy's ( one of the
editors) ironic and funny style is
simply unbeatable, the mag's climax is
in CoVBoy's letters section. They are
mostly publishing big RPG and
adventure go-through articles. They
(the staff: CoVBoy, Getto
(graphician), 1.75 (one guy is just
0.75 after some cold beers...) and the
remarkable beercan-opener. It really
was in the imprint -ed.)) also release
the ca. yearly CoV Yearbook. They
are always in war with time, just
can't release an issue in time
(reminds of some diskmags? -ed.).
The 2nd one is 6 Kbyte. In a time
there was a kind of war between them
(in fact there was no war, just the
readers made up the case -ed.). It is
a game mag ,too, but the half of the
32 pages is in colours. 576 Kbyte
deals with every type of games, but
red hot preferred. It's not as funny
as CoV, but looks nicer. In my
opinion CoV is better, but lots of
readers love 576 Kbyte for its
professional outlook and the
articlewriters are great gameplayers.
The chiefeditor is Balogh Zsolt, a
tough businessman, the rest are ex-
scene members (does REDS mean anything
to anybody?).
The newest star is GURU, the paper
version of the loved diskmag. In my
opinion it's beyond doubts that it's
the new leader in the hood. 64 full
coloured pages, 32 for games, 32 for
hardwares, demos, misc. stuff. Its
outlook is great, but they have some
problems with page-setting. They do
the whole mag on an A3000 with a
PageStream. Nothing to say about the
game section, but its hardware news
and tests are phenomenal. The staff
travels all around the globe from
exhibition to exhibition, and they
always have interesting interviews,
hardware tests (Gáborca is a master of
hardwares and ray-tracing -ed.). The
demo section is made by Jean of
S!P/Scoopex, I think most of you know
him. Just a little quote from him:
"There were some rumours in the air
about a new european level group,
lately. And now it's here. With ex-
Soc.Brigade, Red Rats, Live Act,
Graffity and 23C members Absolute! is
born". No comments. Lots of fine
pictures are put on every page. The
staff is: Bear, Shy, Masell, Gáborca.
Guru is fine example of what the young
generation can do if they really want
to.

PS: Ooops, I think I just left out
the 4th mag. It's called Amiga
Magazin. I heard it's cool, but I
have never read one. It's dead now...
