Low Res - a new webbased magazine

[simonsunnyboy]

How long did you wait for the last disk magazine issue? Alive 14 has been ages away and no new version has been seen yet.

Thorn, Christos and Simon Sunnyboy decided around Outline 2009 that the disk magazine concept should be transported over to a new platform and concept.

We started the Low Res magazine in Web 2.0 style. It is a Wordpress based blog with the following ideas behind the magazine:

• releases more often, even if there are not 80 articles around
  cover anything from an Atarian point of view, games, demos, hardware, news
  a Blog system like Wordpress allows instant feedback via comments
  article submissions are way more easy
  readable even on your Atari ST with CAB or Highwire
  article reviewing and proof reading can be done online while chatting, Skyping etc (no sharing of article textfiles anymore)

So here you go! At http://lowresmag.wordpress.com/ you can find the first issue of our magazine.

We hope you enjoy the read and if you want to contribute with articles, reviews or anything Atari related, just go ahead and tell us!
Low Res will need your active support - and keep in mind, if it's Atari related it is suited for the magazine, 8bit and Jaguar included.

We appreciate your feedback!

It's a great read! Nice one, guys. My Google reader was hungry for more ST feeds.

I've got a couple of articles (75% finished) from my trips to: Console Combat (not much Atari ST related - other than the one that was nailed to the pub wall), Urbis (had a Jaguar on display) and then finally the RCM members only meet (where I had my 1040STE with the SDiskEmul installed). Next month the same STE will be on display at Retro Reunited.

You are welcome Mug. I liked the pictures you did of the events I saw on Facebook.

As people asked for a slightly better navigation, we added a front page for Low Res.
If you open the magazine now, you should see a front page which will list all issues with their corresponding articles.

You can now easily jump to an issue or a specific article without digging too deep.

PS: Work on Issue #2 is underway - if you want to contribute articles or stuffs, just get in touch!

It is great that you-let us see -let us read-and let us be apart of this wise move-keeping the ATARI minds open to new and old things that keeps us fond of our great machines.You have added life to our thinking- we all have been a little dusty in our thinking-onward and keep ATARI STRONG-let the games begin-russ
