Hardcore Computing started life primarily as a magazine that provided information on circumventing disk based copy protection (mostly for the Apple II) though it did contain some other, mostly technical, content. This "Best Of" issue from 1984 includes all such information published by the magazine up until that point in organized, condensed, updated and corrected form. Contents include:
- Getting into DOS with DISKEDIT
- An inside look at disk formats using DISKVIEW
- Deprotecting disks with SUPER IOB
- A quick and easy way to UNLOCK HYPERSPACE WARS
- Taking a peek at BOOT CODE TRACING
- List of Publisher abbreviations and INTRODUCTION TO 'PARMS'
- The Compleat Guide to LOCKSMITH PARAMETERS
- Step-by-step guide to making backups using NIBBLEs AWAY II PARAMETERS
- Technical notes and making backups using BACK-IT-UP II+ PARAMETERS
- How to make backups using COPY II PLUS PARAMETERS
- Curing those Auto-Start ROM blues HARDWARE SOLUTIONS
- A MENU HELLO PROGRAM
- USING BOTH SIDES OF YOUR DISKETTES

I'd love to get my hand on some of these old Hardcore Computing mags. About the furthest back my collection goes is some old issues of Family Computing and The Rainbow from the mid-80s. :)

The vast majority of my computer magazine collection consists of Commodore related magazines from the mid to late 1980s (Commodore, Run and Compute!'s Gazette mostly). However, I do have a handful of others from the early 1980s like Byte and Popular Computing.
