Coming soon! The DEF tribute to Zzap! July 2005
Posted: Sat Apr 02, 2005 12:59 pm
Heads up! Here's the news! (patience, image coming up!)
Taken from http://home.versatel.nl/zzapback/deftri ... online.gif After one year of brainstorming and six months of (part-time) work it's almost finished:
THE DEF GUIDE TO ZZAP!64, celebrating the mag, the people creating it and its huge popularity since May 1985.
Yup, that's exactly 20 years! (next munf)
After the enormous succes of Zzap!64 issue 107 (thousands of downloads, 202 printed copies, mentioned in Edge, Games TM, Retro Gamer and on the coverdisc of an Australian computer mag), created by Cameron Davis, Gordon Houghton, Craig Grannell and a team of Zzap enthusiasts, there were plans for #108, but these were postponed, and at the moment the project is declared 'braindead'.
But how could we possibly let this opportunity pass,
and NOT pay tribute to the best computergames magazine ever: ZZAP!64??
For that reason, we're going to salute the excellent mag that Zzap!64 was and is, and the excellent people behind the mag and the company. A team of Zzap enthusiasts (all from the Rrap board) worked hard to celebrate its 20 year anniversary with a special magazine:
THE DEF TRIBUTE TO ZZAP!64
Download here the pdf that will give you a glimpse of what you can expect from this Zzap!64 Special.
Soon, somewhere in May, the Real Thing will be published as a downloadable pdf for all fans and nostalgia seekers on-line and a-live.
For all those who want to be part of it, here's the challenge:
The DEF Tribute to Zzap!64 will contain a Rrap (letters) section, just like in the old days. We'll have room for about 20 letters.
We'll award ONE 'Star Letter Of The Munf' with a full colour printed copy of the DEF tribute!
So climb in your pen(n) and get writing, drawing and/or meditating!
Anything Zzap/Newsfield/Commodore/Games/Retro related goes!
A retrospect, an anecdote, complaints, congratulations etc. whatever!
Very welcome are contributions to the C64/Speccy and Zzap/CU battle!
Send all your stuff, with your name/nickname/place where you hang out to: zzapback@gmail.com.
CLOSING DATE IS APRIL 17 (Sunday)
edit: closed now
All the best,
mr.zzapback

To Iain, could you please, please give this topic a topicheader of it's own between the Zzap!64 main topics? The Issue 108 topic can stay (AFAIC) but maybe you could add 'CANCELLED' to it? If Craig agrees. (I'm sure)
Ta!
STREETDATE: July 2005 keep watching the skies!
