I reckon that's where a 'best of british' could work. Include the lower tier machines, for want of a better term. With the main emphasis on Amstrad which has never had it's own bookazine, and include Oric, Dragon, much like an expanded version of the Hardware guides. Perhaps within it, to fill it, You could have a 'Sinclair Archives' as well (like the Atari/Sega/Nintendo books) covering the company that really kickstarted it. Other elements to a best of british of course would be the bedroom programmer industry, and the key names and games that emerged from that. And to round it off, you'd have to cover the magazine industry that emerged in the UK for the boom. The C&VG, The Sinclair mags, the Crash and Zzaps...knight_beat wrote:We've not had an Amstrad bookazine before. I seem to recall Darran saying that it wouldn't sell well, but maybe a a combined Amstrad/Spectrum edition would work.
It may not appeal to a mass of US readers (but still a few) but should sell well through the UK and Europe.
Yep, I like to rattle off ideas that mean a lot of work for others. But if you guys make it I'll promise I'll buy it!
