Any old type in program magazines

[Drooby]

Hi, is there any old mags that have type in pages ??

[KiwiArcader]

For what computer systems?

Computer Gamer & CVG have type-in's for Spectrum, BBC, Amstrad CPC, C-16, C-64 etc. and most old UK magazines that are model specific, eg, Amstrad Action, Sinclair User also have listings. As far as USA mags go RUN and Compute!'s Gazette cover Commodore computers.

I have several mags dedicated to type-in listings for Acorn and Spectrum but haven't scanned them given they are fairly esoteric and no-one has asked about them.

Sync and Rainbow Magazine offer type-ins for the Sinclair and the Tandy CoCo respectively.

I think 3-2-1 Contact had a page of BASIC programs in every issue.

Yeah. Pretty much any 1980's magazine for home computers had type-in listings because in many cases they were released at the time as the computers were introduced and there was a distinct lack of software in the first few months. Amstrad users like myself took to typing in listings at the start because there were less than a dozen commercial games available at launch so it became a way to flesh out the collection. Of course that assumed you typed it in correctly or worse, they presented working listings in the first place. Oh man ... they were the days .....

Now that I think about it, old issues of Dragon Magazine also included some BASIC type-in programs. These were "help you be a better DM" type programs, stuff to help track character statistics, generate wandering monsters, etc...

Reminds me of a book full of BASIC programs I have stored in a bin somewhere.
