- Really got into some research this
- issue, I decided to do some reviews of
- Commodore vic 20 games, BUT guess
- what, I dug out Bomber and Blue
- meanies played them for 3 hours, and
- realised I hadn't done any actual
- reviewing!
-
- So err no vic games reviews then in
- this issue, sorry about that, I did
- though find around 50 games I had in a
- box locked in the attic of my house,
- and fondly looked through the covers
- remembering the fun I had playing the
- games many years ago before the
- Commodore 64 came out. After the 64
- the old vic games just moved to the
- attic never to see light of day again,
- well until now.
-
- I have some concerns I have been asked
- how I can justify the cost of the disk
- image, and copies of the magazine,
- turns out some members are copying the
- disk images and printing the pdf then
- charging for the copies this is
- disgusting, I can appreciate a small
- charge for cost of the disk and even
- ink but no more. If you are being
- charged more than a duplication cost
- please let me know.
-
- The whole goal of the magazine is that
- its all FREE! So the disk image text
- and pdf are all free to download or
- read online, I suggest a local library
- or Commodore club should have some
- form of web browser if you don't have
- internet access.
-
- Thanks this issue and last go to Al
- Jackson who has been mugged with the
- job of Disk creation, Al sort of
- volunteered but didn't realise it and
- now checks e text on the disk imaged
- D64
-
- Remember the magazine is all by
- volunteers, ok 2 people myself and Al
- doing the disk text, it may not be
- professional but it's the best I can
- do, as I have said I am no writer, I
- also found I am not good at
- interviewing, if you feel you can do
- better then please do and send in some
- text or a review you have written
-
- I just read the sad news about
- Richard joseph Commodore musician
-
- If you have an article you would like
- to share please feel free to send it
- to me

- Nigelp2k@yahoo.co.uk
-
- I have tracked 350 individual
- downloads of Commodore Free issue
- number 4
-
- More surprising is no one has actually
- criticised the magazine and ripped it
- to shreds am I doing everything right,
- I expect many will now correct this
- oversight
-
-
- ...end...
