Why is Atariscne.org reporting on a release of a new Amiga diskmag eh, CiH?
Well, yours truly offered to help out a friend, a little side-project, as it were.
‘Adventures in Retro’ is a long term project, created by a very good friend known as ‘Woodycool’ or Duncan, in civilian life. He’s a UK based retro-fan, primarily Amiga, but he also takes in a wide range of 8-bit interests, such as Commodore C16/Plus 4 and Amstrad CPC. He also owns and enjoys an Atari ST or two, so he’s living up to the ‘cool’ part of his nom-de-scene.
Anyway, I’ve been tempted to add a few articles, the sort of thing that wouldn’t fit easily in to atariscene.org. There is the future possibility that this mag could be released in other formats, including Atari.
If you have one of the other 16 bit machines, here’s a link to the home page, with a download of the first issue. - https://www.adv-in-retro.uk/ - It’s pretty compatible with most Amiga’s.
I do have an Amiga 600 waiting to be resurrected and slightly upgraded. I’ve been using the OSZX Online Amiga emulator in the meantime - OSZX Online Emulator
Anyway, enjoy!

YES, whilst this is a Disk Mag that runs on the Amiga, it's not a specifically Amiga focused Disk Mag, the idea is for it to be a "general purpose" retro-focused Disk Mag, and depending on work load and call for it, I am tempted to port this to other systems, and the Atari ST is on that list if I do.
I've always had a foot in both camps, even back in the day, I had the Amiga, I had friends with Amigas and friends with STs, and there wasn't really much rivalry between us tbh, despite what a lot of people talk about in the scene - we were just happy to play the games on the system we're sat in front of at the time, and yeah, there's some capability differences, especially in the sound department, but most of the time we didn't have game music on anyway, opting to turn the TV volume down and blast out our latest cassette tapes ............. and THAT'S what this Disk Mag is about, it's about retro (or vintage) nostalgia, regardless of your chosen platform - only reason this started on the Amiga is familiarity with the platform and my experience of how to get this up and running.
