Consider, perhaps that diskmags were cool as hell and the Amiga’s might have been the coolest of all. You can really see the through line from fanzines, to these, to the fansites and blogs of the early web. And, of course, torrent sites lmao.

Some ‘Certified 80s/90s Moments’ in the articles in a few of ‘em, though. Proceed with caution if you want to go digging!

The tools, techniques and conclusions of diskmag archeology

Not exactly a text post, but here's a video recording from my talk from Evoke about how we turned age-old diskmags into something web-readable. Best enjoyed if you're into byte-level hackery, reverse-engineering, oldskool DOS culture, and self-indulgent projects no-one understands.

Sorry about the visual, I'm aware I look like someone left a kiwi in a bucket of drain cleaner for a week.

I also hope to get a post about my DOS demo up at some point, because it was a project I had a ton of fun with, and it was super-cathartic to work on.
