Flashback to the 80's

After my ZX81 I purchased an Amstrad CPC464, and oh joy I discovered Hebdogiciel. Before the internet this magazine printed the code for games and programs that you could painfully copy out. Today I discovered that there's an online archive:

abandonware-magazines

A translation of the French abandonware-magazine article:

1983–1987: Imagine a weekly magazine that, in addition to providing us with a weekly program to type out and delivering uncompromising hardware and software reviews (and that’s saying something), also featured TV listings, movie, music, and comic book releases, assembly language tutorials, a comic strip, a discount club, walkthroughs... A tone that blew you away from the first page to the last, Carali’s drawings filling in the gaps, lawsuits galore… Simply extraordinary, unmatched.
