BigK Magazine Issues 01-12 (Summer 1992 - May 1987) ** Note: This is a rework of a collection previously available. ** Content should be much the same, but the image quality is much better Big K was a short-lived attempted by the giant International Publishing Corporation (IPC) to get into the booming UK computing scene. It only lasted 12 issues, and covered most UK 8-bit micros of the day with articles covering gaming, industry news, lots of type-ins and the odd technical article. It also had the "world's first" computer-drawn cartoon strip, "Shatter". These PDFs are the compiled collections of page scans available on www.worldofspectrum.org . They've been OCR'd to allow text searching and copying - this should prove very useful for the Sinclair archivist who'd like to have their own local searchable archive. They look great on most PDF readers, including the iPad. The OCR software has done it's best, but has struggled with some of the more unusual fonts and layouts used and by the relatively low DPI of the source images. The file size is a bit larger than the combined size of the original JPG images; I've done my best to make the PDF's as compact as possible without losing image quality. Be grateful for cheap storage :) More OCR'd scans will be periodically available - please check http://retropdfs.wordpress.com (or Google RetroPDFs) for more information. Thanks to Martijn van der Heide for the wonderful World Of Spectrum site (www.worldofspectrum.org), and all the visitors and donators to RetroPDFs for their support. 90's style "greets" to anyone formally or currently involved in the Amiga scene, especially Pazza, Mic Flair, Violator, Denzil, Tango, Fat Will, mUb and Maximan, and anyone else who read or wrote for LSD Grapevine. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ;) Ken D fabwhack@gmail.com http://retropdfs.wordpress.com (Google 'RetroPDFs')
