Cover of the Spring/Summer 1987 issue of Info
Info is a magazine that covered various Commodore computers throughout its life. In 1987 that included the Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Amiga. One of the interesting things about Info is that it was produced entirely using Commodore computers. The Spring/Summer 1987 issue includes:
- Gallery - Screen shots and summaries of 6 new software releases including Starglider (Commodore 64), Bard's Tale (Amiga), Uridium (Commodore 64), MandFXP-Enhanced (Amiga), Scrabble (Commodore 64), and Deja Vu (Amiga).
- New Amigas - An introduction to the new Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000, replacements for the original Amiga 1000.
- Product Roundup - A comprehensive round-up of software available for the Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Commodore 128 CP/M and Amiga). Over 2100 products are included with name, price, distributor, issue in which it was reviewed and a brief description. This feature makes up the bulk of this issue.
- Double-Take - A photo of the Three Stooges with the Stooges replaced with Commodore executives Sam, Jack and Leonard by Amiga photo manipulation software.
- CES Report - Berkeley demonstrates several new GEOS related software titles including GEOS v1.3, GeoCalc, GeoFile, GeoDex, and more; Progressive Peripherals shows off Superbase Personal for the Amiga, Vizawrite for the Amiga and C128, and Vizastar for the C128; Firebird shows off Tracker, Talking Teacher and Starglider; Epyx introduces Street Sports Basketball, Street Sports Baseball, Sub Battle Simulator all for the Commodore 64 with Temple of Apshai, World Games and Winter Games coming for the Amiga; Electronic Arts introduces PHM Pegasus, Bards Tale II and a reissue of Archon II for the Commodore 64; and lots more.
- Mail - Praise for the magazine from someone who found out about it on QLink; comments upon the latest version of GEOS disabling work disks not copied in the officially proscribed way in order to curb piracy; a debate on Compuserve's copyright policy...apparently Compuserve was trying to claim copyright on public domain software; a reader writes about an appearance of an Amiga in Miami Vice; and more!
