Just want to know if anyone has had a chance to thumb through the BIG K magazine that started circulation in 1984. After a quick search I could not find out a lot about this magazine.

The one issue that I own is chock full of cool articles featuring the romtec, the Androbot, Vectrex light pen and the joy sensor. Interviews with '17 year old Mathew Smith', Jeff Minter, Steve Wozniak and David Crane.

This site is an excellent archive for ZZAP 64. http://www.zzap64.co.uk/cgi-bin/displayhtml.pl
At the bottom right of the index page is a link to scans of three issues of BIG K, this site also claims that BIG K magazine ran for 12 issues.

Its funny you've mentioned that, im am just in the process of scanning all my retro magazines covers to upload to the tidbits section - basically its going to be just the front covers of mags, like atari st, amiga, nintendo and all sorts of other mags.

if anyone has any mag cover scans - please send them in!
