SAM Revival magazine issue 18 - Mar/Apr 2007
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 18

Issue 18 is quite a packed issue! More pages than the previous few issues, and a jam packed coverdisk!

Let's kick off with what's on the disk. First up are the three brand new emulators from Simon Owen. He's been busy getting the SAM being other machines and has completed his Galaksija and Orao emulators which were announced in the previous issue. The Galaksija is a Z80 based computer from Yugoslavia, while the Orao is a 6502 based Croation system so that's using Simon's latest 6502 CPU emulator core. Both are now fully emulated on the SAM and there's a pile of games on the disk for each system. To finish off his hat trick Simon has also released an Apple 1 emulator too!

It doesn't stop there! Also on the coverdisk is the latest version of Chris Pile's SAM Defender, and also Captain Comic - a classic platformer by Lars Perrson which was first released back in 1994 and was a remake of a freeware PC game. Wrapping up the coverdisk there's also a demo I've coded up to copy an old school effect from the Amiga and includes the source code.

Onto the paper side. 40 pages jam packed with news and articles. The Developer Diary is bursting at the seams with information from Simon about all three of his new emulators, and there's also the first screenshots of ISAAC - the port of Rebelstar that's being developed by Stuart Brady and Warren Lee.

This issue also sees the start of a new programming column. I've looking at recreating some demo effects from the Amiga on the SAM, and tackle a two layer tile based scroller.The issue wraps up with the compulsory sprinkling of SAM Snippets with bits of trivia from the SAM world.

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 founded Quazar back back 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.
