ACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment) Magazine Issues 01-55 (October 1987 - April 1992) ** This is a rework of a previously-released collection - files are ** slightly larger but with better image quality Advanced Computer Entertainment was a multi-format UK publication, originally one of Future's launch titles before being sold to EMAP. It covered all contemporary machines for the era, with the emphasis on the emerging 16-bit computers and consoles; it's often said that ACE was the precursor to Future's EDGE magazine. Regular features included game reviews (with an innovative "Predicted Interest Curve") and industry news and gossip. These PDFs are the complied collections of page scans already available. They've been OCR'd to allow text searching and copying - this should prove very useful for the retro 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. Also, paragraph formatting is a bit random at best. 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 for more information. Thanks to Martijn van der Heide for the wonderful World Of Spectrum site (www.worldofspectrum.org), and ADJB and everyone else on the WoS forums for help and advice. 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
