SAM Revival magazine issue 3 -  Dec 2002 / Jan 2003
For the SAM Coupé computer



SAM Revival is a magazine I produce for the SAM Coupé computer, and is the only new magazine that is still produced specifically for the SAM Coupé - it's a must for every SAM owner to see what's happening in the SAM world! 

So if you are an old SAM Coupé user, or perhaps new to the SAM Scene, then give the magazine a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!


SAM Revival issue 3

Another packed issue of SAM Revival! In this issue is my own feature article entitled 'SAM In A Can'. This has been my own pet project for several months now - this is a where I have taken a SAM motherboard and fitted it into a case along with a lot of extra hardware fitted internally (Quazar Surround soundcard, Serial Mouse Interface, PC Keyboard interface, disk drive and a hard drive!). I don't want to spoil this article so I will say no more - check it out in the magazine!

Other articles include part 3 of Adrian Brown's coding column. This time round he takes a look at starting he coding structure for a game, such as double buffering screens, keyboard reading and interrupt handling and is complete with source code. The hints and tips section has the first part for a full walkthrough for Manic Miner with all the behind the scenes info and snippets of gossip from when it was being made way back in 1990-91. Another article looks at the improvements in the latest version of B-DOS.


If you have any questions or queries about anything to do
with the SAM Coupé please feel to ask!

Quazar - Celebrating 30 Years of Developing for the SAM Coupé!

I bought my first SAM Coupe back in 1993, and had my first game published after just 3 weeks, later starting as Quazar in 1995 when I released my first piece of hardware for the SAM Coupe - the Quazar Surround soundcard. Over the years I have now designed and released a vast range of hardware and software for the SAM, as well as releasing a regular magazine. SAM Revival is a printed magazine with an accompanying cover disk of software and aims to be packed full of all the latest SAM Coupé news, interesting features, articles and interviews, catering for everything SAM related. Currently on issue 26, the first issue launched back in August 2002 and has grown from strength to strength, being read by SAM users in 22 countries.
