New Diskmags for C64
There are two new C64 diskmags: Attitude #18 (April 2018) and Scene World #28 (June 2018). About the latter, its main editor Joerg Droege (aka Nafcom) writes: "[T]his time with interviews with Dennis Pauler, John Chowning, David John Pleasance, Christian Spanik, great articles by former Hugi staffer Lars Sobiraj, and also reports by Andrew Burch, Boris Kretzinger, Martin Ahman, Andrew Fisher and of course as always part 4 of Richard Bayliss' game coding tutorial with a bonus game fitting on disk side B and many many more stuff! And also the NTSC news that were missing last time by Kevin Casteels, also again with graphics from our good old Martin Wisniowski and many stuff I probably forgot to mention here!"
