Issue 108 - who wants to work on Zzap! #108
Fair point that the web has already taken the hostage of the commodore history. I try and think of some way out to make its history somewhat more interesting to read.
I have an interesting article to write about: Commodore One. The next commodore computer which can be upgradable, branded as "The Reconfigurable Computer". It is not an emulation, far from it. Can I put it on the next issue?

Well, if a 108 is really on the cards, I'd definitely be up for it, because 107 was great fun to do!

Hi fellow zzaperoni's,
I don't know if it comes in handy,
but since I'm establishing myself a name in leeching (see staff)
I'm proud to say that I 'leeched' (quite a few times) the former rrapforum around the time of the zzap107 developments. If anyone is interested in re-reading or using the old discussions & 'rules' and all that, I could put them on the board. (although it's quite extensive, but pretty interesting too, and legendary gaming HISTORY )
Btw, Iain, did you archive the old rrapforum from day one?
I'd be really interested in reading some old posts.
Please tell us.
Rob

Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.

C69: I think I speak for most when I say we should probably ignore the C16 in general, in the same way that we should ignore the Amiga. If z108 gets off the ground there's going to be limited space, and I don't think it should go to non-C64 or Zzap!64-related stuff. The exception, of course, is the CommodoreOne, which would need some sort of coverage, perhaps an interview with its creator, along with a general overview.

With regards to 'rules', we'll formulate some new ones, should z108 happen, which will include more than just a style guide. This time there will be implicit stuff on deadlines, saying that if you get stuff in more than a few days late, it will go to someone else...

I'd love to get involved if I may...
....I'd really be interested in either writing some reviews of certain games (Llamasoft titles or maybe the Taskset games) and or any other content I'd be allowed to add for you guys. As I'd like to pay tribute to all the games I grew up with AND pay back for all the inspiration/ideas I still get from them all when creating design documents for the games I currently work on.
Finally, I'd like to think that we'd get the print work again, like we did for issue 107 - If you guys would be willing to accept the magazine as A5 for example, the cost would be much lower than before *and* you'd be able to double the page size of the mag without increasing the cost too much.
Maybe we could co-sponsor it?
Can discuss if interested
Thanks
George

Definitely no way on the A5 thing - it would restrict the design too much and put it squarely in fanzine territory. If it happens, I'm sure you'll be the first people we talk to about a print version, though! Mind you, this time I'll talk to you lot _before_ I do the design, so I can get a better idea about cropping and so on.
