Byte (March 1980)

If you were buying a computer magazine in the early 1980s, there's a good chance it was Byte. It tended to be technically oriented with lots of projects to build yourself but it also had reviews and other coverage. Some issues were quite large. The March 1980 issue includes:

All of these photos were taken circa 1959. I believe that they were all taken in Mexico.

The first photo features one of the pyramids in Teotihuacan. I believe this is the Pyramid of the Sun.

MegaCon 2025 (4)

Day four of MegaCon was Sunday a week ago. It is not as busy as Saturday but probably still busier than all of the other days. At least until later in the afternoon. This was also Super Bowl Sunday but I'm not sure if that really had any impact.

Compute! (March 1988)

Compute! covered various home computers over the years. It was a little less technical than Byte (for example) at least in terms of hardware coverage. However, it was a great magazine and had numerous spin-off, the most successful of which was Gazette for the Commodore 64/128. The March 1988 issue of Compute! includes:

MegaCon 2025 (3)

Day three of MegaCon was Saturday. This is typically the busiest day of the con and this year was no exception. Foot traffic in the vendor hall is absurdly tight. Doing any shopping is really impractical as far as I'm concerned. I did, however, walk up and down most of the aisles to get some crowd video (which I will eventually post, probably years from now when I catch up). That meant this was another day of bumper to bumper panels.

Computer Gaming World (June 1992)

Computer Gaming World was my favorite computer gaming magazine and a very long running one. The first issue was published in 1981 and in 2006 it was bought by Microsoft and turned into Games for Windows. Despite this, it kept much of the same format and staff as before so it continued to be a good magazine it just didn't survive much longer. The June 1992 issue includes:

During day two of MegaCon I spent very little time in the vendor area. It was mostly just a crossing point from one end of the convention center to the other where the panels were. My plans is usually to explore the vendor area on Thursday and Sunday when it is likely to be the least busy.
