A.N.A.L.O.G.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A.N.A.L.O.G. (from Atari News And Lots Of Games) was the name of a computer magazine devoted to the Atari 8-bit home computer line (the Atari 400/800 and compatible models). Lee H. Pappas co-launched with Michael DesChesnes A.N.A.L.O.G. Computing in February 10, 1980. A.N.A.L.O.G. was later sold in 1988 to LFP, Inc.
The main rival of A.N.A.L.O.G. was ANTIC, another long-lived magazine devoted to the Atari 8-bit line.
Pappas went on to launch ST-Log, a magazine for Atari ST computers, Video Games & Computer Entertainment, PC Laptop Computers Magazine,TurboPlay, VISIO, Picture This!, Popular Home Automation, and Home Theater Builder.
ANALOG would publish games and other assorted programs as program listings. While the programs were covered under the magazine's copyright protections, users were granted the right to type them into their computer for personal use, so long as they were not sold or copied. ("Reader Comments", ANALOG Magazine #2, page 5).
[edit] Aftermath
In 1989 (LFP, Inc.) announced it would merge A.N.A.L.O.G and ST-Log into one Atari resource. Instead, both magazines were dropped less than a month later and the staff merged into VideoGames & Computer Entertainment.
December 1989 was the final issue of A.N.A.L.O.G..
