No need to thank me, I only opened up the opportunity and was delighted and hoping you'd continue to do the wonderful and enlightening interviews and lost game coverage so many got wrong in the past and set the record straight on a lot of it, for which I'm very thankful for as I'm sure the Communities are. Atari ST Gamer magazine issue 2 will be available in the new year at some stage, so it's not the end of this wonderful 16-bit just yet. So I'll finish of by wishing everyone here at Atari Age a wonderful Christmas and an Amazing Happy New Year to you all for the both the support and fantastic comments my Magazines have received since they were released. Again Thank you All and Lost Dragon for all the input over the last year. Kind regards Darren.

Thank you all who made the effort to say thanks for the calendar, and sorry I didn't keep to your tastes Wongojack, I had to vary it for a wider audience , if left to me, I would of made it all Atari stuff from the a8 and ST, but its aimed at the retro gaming community minus =, Amstrad , BBC , Oric and few others lol.. Glad you all liked it and hope you all find it useful in making 2015 that more special. Kind regards Darren.

Thanks for the support and link has been sent., it was a wonderful and very nostalgic process creating ST gamer magazine and something I hoped would carry across to you all when reading it. Only a handful of things are worth the effort and in my opinion this is one of them and if I've brought back great memories to you the readers, than I've done my job Cheers Darren.

Download link has been forwarded to you pal, Hope you enjoy the magazine and many thanks again for your support of Atari ST Gamer magazine, and hope to release issue 2 next year for you all to enjoy And for those you haven't grabbed a copy yet, if you love the Atari ST computer? Then I think you'll love this this too. Kind regards Darren.

Lol, well firstly thanks "TheNameOfTheGame" for your feedback and delighted you loved the magazine, you all are the type of guys who it's being made for so delighted that you loved it. As regards to the Tiertex feature, I'd love to have something like this included, I think it would make a brilliant article and would have no problem including it for you guys, if there was somebody available to write it or if possible include mini interview within the feature as well. So if any of you feel you could be up to the challenge either as single entity and a team effort on it, I would most certainly consider including it in issue 2, the only rule is it would need to be in for December/ early January as I'm hoping to release issue 2 in February 2015, so the clock is ticking Also if anyone else wants to contribute an article to the magazine of interest and relevance to it, I would love to here from you also, as with issue 2 will be the final issue run of Atari ST gamer magazine and really want to go all out and you guys can be involved too. All I can offer at this time would be a free copy of issue 2 for your efforts and if we break the bank in sales a little beer money thrown your way also. Have a good one guys and thanks again Kind Regards Darren.

A very cool video has been put up for the magazine from the Joy of Sticks him self and thought I'd share it with everybody here, please consider subscribing to his great channel here's the video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFxZitzgVE4 and a special thanks to everybody who grabbed a copy, without your support the magazine wouldn't be what it is. And for a show of thanks I might have something special in the pipeline for those who took the chance in buying a copy, so you'll have to wait and see what in store Kind regards Darren.

Just wanted to drop by and just say thank you to all that have got the magazine, the support has been amazing on the magazine and I will be hopefully doing a few pod cast interviews, talking a bit more about why and how it came about etc, like the Atari 8-bit magazine before this, it was very important to get the facts out there and straighten a few ties in the process So again I just want to personal thank everyone so far , you guy make it all worth while Kind regards Darren.

Many thanks Fedepede, Delighted you love the design astetics of the magazine, its hard work but totally worth it, I always do my best to capture the feel of the Atari platforms in a professional and deserving manner, so I hope you enjoy the magazine. Again many thanks for all the support given to it so far Kind Regards Darren.

Thanks very much for your input Invader, it really helps me to refine the work I do in creating these great magazines in my attempt to keep the Atari ST scene alive, which I think I've done, I haven't stopped reading mine all day and hopefully the next issue will be as good if not better, I have some hopefully amazing things I wish to include in the next one if I can get the right people involved, but delighted you loved the first issue, It's not often the Atari ST get the lime light it deserves, I aim to change all that Kind Regards Darren.

Many thanks Ravard, really glad to hear you loved the magazine, yes I agree I myself would of preferred more in-depth reviews etc. but when creating this magazine, I wanted as much as possible, remember there is over 60 reviews in here, which is unheard for a magazine of its type and one which I feel totally captures the Atari 8-bit in its heart, I've explained why there won't be a second issue, too many logistics involved, so make sure you cherish it Again many thanks for your support of the magazine and hope that people who haven't yet got a copy, your missing out on all this Atari 8bit greatness Take care Darren.

Alias unfortunitly no, as much as I'd love to do another Atari gamer magazine on the 8-bit , I just do not have the time or resourses to dedicate to another collectors magazine for the A8 this magazine was created as part of what I felt at the time needed to be made, I was tired of the Atari 8bit going unnoticed allot of time in the retro gaming community and enough was enough. I managed to sercure a great Atari historian who actually knew about Atari 8-bit indept and lived the Atari in the UK back in the earlier and mid-late 80's as it happened and had collected a vast amount of untapped information on the Atari 8-bit scene which was presented in the Atari Gamer magazine which made it as a once off special collectors magazine. At present I'm putting the finishing touches to its follow up , its big brother the "Atari ST" under the premise of "Atari ST Gamer magazine" and with huge amount of help and information I've received for it, I can say it will make up 2 special collectors issues with the first is due out next month. So lots of stuff inbound. But again many thanks for the support of this stuff, without the reader it wouldn't be the good so far success its been within the Atari Community All the best Darren.

Sorry about that I double posted..can a moderator remove this post please?
