• And now that I have read it, a solid thumbs up - the effort alone deserves that thumb, but it is certainly not the effort alone. Everything featured is up to the great diskmag standards of yesteryear. Good graphics, panels, colourscheme. Very fitting diskmag music, especially the first tune. There are not that many articles, but this is in no way a criticism, it already takes a lot of effort in this day and age to gather and write those that are featured. I find there's a really nice mix of Ghandy's informative, investigative fact-based journalism, the more classic ego/writing-from-my-own-opinions-based-mained pieces of Sane (I mean that in a positive way, that style has always also been near and dear to my heart) and Novel's more in-depth exhaustive writings about things both informative and storybased. So you basically get three styles in one mag, and I really appreciate that, since they're all well-done and serve to highlight the respective strengths of each of them. Let me pick out three specific articles that highlight the width in styles:
  
  "The Making of the Cure by Retream" by Ghandy. Great opportunity spotted right there, of course this deserved an article exploring who this new and interested scener would be. That's exactly what informative/positive scenejournalism should spot and provide an outlet for, very relevant, very news-worthy. Also I see your 'scene-based-non-dividing-journalist-doesn't-go-into-the-political substance' choice and respect it since that follows your line and leaves it up to the reader after getting the information.
  
  "Learning 68k Assembly - Now or Never" by Novel. I could have picked your lengthy and well-written covid-19 influenced party articles, but I extra-liked this informative one that actually helps and stimulates people to find resources and give OCS coding a go. I am also left wondering how your effort went, good cliff-hanger for follow up articles. It'd be cool with more of such articles for scene-inspired people who might need pointers to help to get started in a field. That's also relevant informative journalism, but with a more story/personal angle to motivate the readers personal involvement in the topic. Same method employed in the other articles. I (also) like this bridging between the other two writing styles, you put some meat on the bones and provide a personal angle without opinion-piece-based division or made up stories.
  
  "Short Story - Don't ask Magic" by Sane. Hehe well, it's still ethically not so nice to mildly flame a beaten horse eventhough you also went all in and exposed your psycho-bombloving side, but oh I still enjoyed this article and laughed aloud. Well-written too (as all articles were), you do have funny-bone and good ideas to execute on. Also, there's this very nice (and by now, utterly gone) classic 'arrogant editor with his own opinions' vibe in many/all of your articles that I feel right at home in, though certainly scaled down to a less edgy version since the glory days of RAW++. But this one felt like coming home to something that was very mid-nineties, the well-written imaginary story with real sceners put in to have fun with. Maybe catering to a select and super-small audience, but that audience was also me, so hey, most memorable article for the chuckles and topic.
  
  But overall it's great seeing this width and spread of articles and styles on one mag, especially considering that there for obvious reasons are not many articles.
  
  So yeah, thumbs up, but also a somewhat lengthy former/fallen main-ed review because hey, editors like that, and you deserve it for the effort. I'm glad you got this together and it was very well-done all around.

• Very pleasant surprise, good work getting this released :)

  Wow Nutman, that's kinda' sad, going on a thumbs up spree on our own productions ;)

• demo Amiga AGA Kilofix by Illi Recentes ImperatoreS
• The download link has been changed to point to a finished version of the demo that runs with 25mb of RAM and is more compatible with UAE.
  
  Also, an .avi will be available around this weekend. Sorry that it can't be sooner, it's the BP organizers who're doing this from native Amiga HW, we don't have the HW for it.
  
  Oh, and since I wasn't involved in this production, yadda, yadda, I am also going to thumb it up, because I honestly think it was the best demo released. Hopefully we will get even stronger competition next year, and then we'll see what happens :)
  
  Greets to all we met at BP - it was a great party!

  Stop creating myths Browallia.. The EC was released yesterday because we finally compiled a working AOS4 version, and Kaosmaster stays in IRIS because we did get out before JP. Good timing for us of course, but hardly a story with much meat on it.
  
  Ghandy does deserve respect for getting out 3 issues of the JP, but this issue.. Well, it IS rushed and the release today was not planned. At least it surprised everyone, also most of those working on the mag, including yourself ;)
  
  Whatever, but don't do untrue spin.

• Thank you for all the great feedback so far :)
  
  To answer some questions.. Mac port.. Sure! We'd love to, but we need someone with a Mac to do a compile of the code for us.
  
  Getting the gfx separately.. Not right now, we might recycle it for a demo, lamer-wise ;) But it is not too hard to rip for those who are determined, so go ahead.
  
  We don't have very many re-used articles. Only two I think. The Wade articles were given to us first, but I guess Wade lost a bit of patience with us ever releasing the EC, and so it was also given to others, though I haven't seen them myself.
  
  The 'slowness' of the Windows version, etc., might also be due to the fade timing I have used in the mag. It can fade faster for sure, but.. Being an Amiga scener, I thought it was pretty fast as it is ;-)
  
  And if you want more broad articles, not only dealing with the Amiga scene - you are free to send in articles, we'd love that :) The charts stay Amiga though, the EC is the grand old chart of the Amiga. Magwise I see no problem if we can appeal to as many scenes as possible though, so please... Support is welcome and appreciated.

• Ok, it is not up on our homepage yet, but will be later(www.eurochart.dk). Didn't want to wait one more minute with releasing this though. The download links should be fast and work.. So now I hope you will enjoy this massive work, no matter what scene you hail from :)
