Re: hobby magazines

More mums and dads hobby really, but I remember stacks and stacks of magazines on c.b radios. I use to get the odd ones with free computer games on for my spectrum,usually turned out to be rubbish, or just a demo.:cry: Thats if you can call collecting the games a hobby

I used to type those game programs into my Atari 800xl all those hours of effort wasted - the game would NEVER work

Re: hobby magazines

aww I loved the cut out paper dolls and clothes!!! The little tabs you had to bend over to make the clothes stay on, hours of fun. I'd almost forgotten about these.
