0About mags...
³-----------------------------------²«About mags..»³-----------------------------------²By: ¹Murk/Sonic²
First, I wanna tell you, that I'll only write about disk-mags, ³not²
paper-mags. It's quite an interesting fact that everybody thinks that there
are too many mags. Well, maybe everybody else, but ¹not² me. I simply can't
understand why everybody is complaining about the amount of mags etc. I
think that there are too few ³GOOD ²mags around. I mean, when I receive the
latest issue of e.g. R.A.W, I read every article. It takes a couple of
hours and I usually find the mag very entertaining. But, after reading through
the mag I usually don't touch it anymore. Ok, sometimes I maybe load an old
ZINE or so, but I think you got my point. I know that it takes ³LOTS ²of time
to produce a mag and that there are other things to do than sit in front of
your beloved Amiga. But still, I'd like to get a new mag every week or
so. I know that it's impossible, at least at tha mo. Because there aren't
many active article writers, and the producers can't write ³50-100² articles
/ month. Many new mags die because they don't get enough articles. Here in
Finland the problem seems to be that people aren't too good at English, or
then they just don't have anything to write about. Sure, everybody should
have something to write about. If I'd ask you to write about your life,
you couldn't say that you don't have anything to say. Write about something
that happened at your school, about a party, journey etc. Mags like ³ZINE,
I.C.E. and R.A.W ²are nice to read because there are many articles
concerning life etc. I think that it's funny to write a recipe for your
favourite soup etc. In my opinion the mags have got better this year, I.C.E.
has grown a lot and there are many new mags like MC Disk, R.A.W etc..
Our aim is to be ³the best Finnish mag², that shouldn't be too
hard. Sentinel is dead, at least I'd say that it's dead; last
issue was released in the beginning of '91. Maggy is now released with a new working
code, so it ain't that bad anymore.. (hehee..)
We'll se what will happen next. Maybe ZINE will die ³(Hope ¹NOT!³)²
, if so, will I.C.E. be the next 'leader' ?! PMC's ³R.A.W² is a very cool
new mag, personally I think that it's the one of the best. And how about LSD's
¹Grapevine² ?! Will it get as popular as it is in the UK? We'll just have to
wait 'n see what'll happen..
³---²This article was written sometime '91. I changed some parts of it just
before the release.. -Murk.
