I was just going to say the same thing as David. :-) I can even honestly say it's one of the few magazines I find myself reading everything in. If you're a SAM fan, it's fascinating stuff, whether it's talking about new projects (hardware and software) or old games that never made it, and

Thanks, Colin. If you happen to know what the postage will be on ordering a back issue in the USA then I'll place an order (and accept your offer of a disk image). As long as I can pay you without creating a PayPal account, anyway. I don't mind a one off transaction, but I refuse to maintain

Yeah, 4-pixel squares in mode 2 would be easy enough. An authentic facsimile in Mode 1 would be tricky as there are squares with more than 2 colours in. Achievable with rainbow processing, but that seems a bit of a faff... Andrew On 22 Apr 2012, at 21:34, Tommo H wrote: Based on the
