Do you remember the Amstrad Action? For sure! And do you remember the Amstrad Action tribute magazine? I hope so. The Retroaction magazine published an article about the making of the tribute magazine, so be sure to read this article.
If you don’t know the Amstrad Action tribute magazine, you can download or order the printed version (very high quality – I own one :)) from lulu.com.
Maybe you remember CPC Oxygen from their great CPC magazine which was published some years ago. John Kavanagh has now updated the CPC Oxygen website to use a WordPress system. The great thing about that is, that you can now register there and write your own articles for CPC Oxygen. The site also features an Amstrad Action archive.
Be sure to go there: http://www.cpcoxygen.net (the old page is still accessible under http://cpcoxygen.fxwebdevelopment.com).
I already wrote a news about the release date of the Amstrad Action Tribute Magazine and now it is available. You can download a it for free from Lulu.com. If you want to have a paper version you should wait some days until it will be available as a printed version on Lulu.com as well.
Good news everyone ;)! Next week, on 9th June 2008, a tribute magazine to the Amstrad Action will be released after it was 18 months in the making.
Amstrad Action was the best selling and longest running magazine for the Amstrad CPC computer range and reached over 100 issues. Currently the last finetuning is going on and on next monday, you can get it as PDF (free) or as a printed issue (minimal amount of money) which contains news, reviews, interviews with the ex-staff of the AA, interviews with people of the scene and of course much more.
I can’t wait to get it and of course I will post another message here if it gets released next week :).
Hmm, seems to be a good week for CPC news =).
John Kavanagh brought the CPCOxygen website, together with the Amstrad Action scans, back online. He is currently uploading the last issues of AA, so you will find all 117 issues in the future. Here is John’s complete posting from the newsgroup:
From a dusty DVD-R from depths of a bottom drawer in a dark room full of
disembodied computer parts, from a far far away land comes the return of CPC
Oxygen (including Amstrad Action magazine scans).The site is hosted on a free webhosting site that gives a generous 5 GB of
space with not many restrictions, check it out at

I’m currently in the process of uploading the AA scans, then I’ll be putting
my effort in getting every issue online, all 117 of them 🙂
