AtariSociety Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Anyone know what year and what magazine was the last "english" professionally printed Atari ST/TT/Falcon magazine? I just thumbed through my 16 issues of Atari Computing and issue #16 ended Jan 2000. Were there any magazines after that that were professionally done, or was Atari Computing the last hurah!?

exxosuk Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Atari computing and Atari world were the last ones that I remember hitting the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSociety Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I posted this on a Facebook site too and ST-Computer, but german, was up to 2004 and they revived it in 2014. So that is cool. But for english, it appears Atari Computing may be the last english written Atari magazine of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Since we're on the subject, was the Falcon brochure the very last promo piece done by Atari as well? Since they shifted all their focus over to the Jaguar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataricrypt Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 interesting topic, for me I remember ST Format being the sole survivor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I think in order of closing down for English Magazines it was ST World (Merged into ST User, although it limped on as a seperate quarterly mag for a small while as well) > The One ST(Merged into ST Action) > ST Action (Merged into ST Review or User, can't remember) > Atari ST User (Merged into ST Review) > Atari ST Review (Merged into ST Format) > Atari World (Closed down) > ST Format (Closed - This was the last magazine available on general distribution) > ST/ Atari Applications (Closed) > Atari Computing (closed). The only English publication after Atari Computing was MyAtari, but that was online only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Ni Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 It's not English but French magazine : ST Magazine was the reference in France ; il disappeared in 1998, but revived in the second half of the 2000's. Old n° are availables at abandonware-magazines.org, fabulous site with thousands of scanned (french) mags... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmudde Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Since we're on the subject, was the Falcon brochure the very last promo piece done by Atari as well? Since they shifted all their focus over to the Jaguar... If someone is curious and hasn't seen this, it is available here: https://archive.org/stream/AtariFalcon030Brochure1992/Atari_Falcon030_Brochure_1992#page/n0/mode/2up. You can also see the line of thought between the Falcon's touted "Personal Integrated Media System" in 1992 and the Jaguar's "Interactive Multimedia System" in 1993. /ü Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmudde Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 That may have been presumptuous. There is also this Falcon brochure: http://classic.technology/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/atarifalcon030.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Guys, until just a few years ago we were giving away a French based (but English translated) version of some Atari ST magazine. I've still got my copies - I'd have to go back and dig them out to see what the actual date was for the last one I got. Nick Harlow imported/sold them, I think. What I actually gave away to random callers to my BBS was a 1 year subscription. Regretfully, I had to stop because their releases became so sporadic that I didn't feel right about giving away a subscription that wasn't being delivered consistently...

+DarkLord Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Checked my BBS backups - here is the last notification that was listed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings everyone!Here is the lucky winner for February 2014 at The DarkForce!

PS Stephen, I need your e-mail address! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So it looks like February of 2014 was the last time I gave a subscription away. I can't remember if Stephen got any copies though. I also maintained a subscription for myself and when it became apparent that they were not going to be delivered on time and with any consistency, I stopped. I still need to drag my copies out from storage and see what the actual last date was that I got one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
