Reset 64 issue 11 has arrived!

23rd June 2018

What a great month June has been for 64 magazines! Just a few days ago Freeze64 arrived and this morning I received a Protovision package in the post containing issue 11 of Reset 64 magazine!

Contents Page

As usual it’s a nice thick edition which should provide a good few hours of 64 reading goodness. There’s a ton of reviews for many recent C64 games such as Galencia, Planet Golf, Sam’s Journey and many more. There are also lots of 64 related articles covering news, interviews and much more.

Back Cover

There’s also a coverdisk – remember those? I love getting these as it takes me right back to a time when a coverdisk (or tape) might have been the only new software I got that month. Well that and typing in listings!

You never know what you are going to get on these disks and discovering what’s on them is all part of the fun!

Cover Disk (Mix-I-Disk)

Reset 64 is a bit different from Freeze64 in that they only do a limited physical print run but they do offer downloads of past issues and the cover disks. If you are interested in finding out more or getting a copy take a look here.

Just thought I’d share a couple of cool things that arrived in the post a few days ago. Namely the latest issue of ‘Freeze64’ and something I’ve been chasing down for about a year now – Corruption for the C64!

For those of you who are not aware, Freeze64 is a brilliant monthly Commodore 64 Fanzine that contains game reviews / cheats and interviews with game designers from yesteryear. Recently it has started to feature regular articles from Julian Rignall (of ZZap 64 fame) too. Anyway I heartily recommend it – it’s a very entertaining read. Take a look for yourself here.

Corruption – Box Contents

I’m a big adventure game fan, particularly of the Magnetic Scrolls graphic series. I’ve already got The Pawn, Guild of Thieves and Jinxter but tracking down the rest of the collection is proving quite difficult. I’m pretty pleased with this find though – it’s in superb condition and has all the Filofax pages that give you clues and background material for the game. Sadly it is missing the audio cassette so I still need to track that down, or at least an audio file of the contents! Now I just need to find copies of Wonderland and Fish! to complete my collection.

By the way, if you have any of these and would like to sell them – please get in touch!
