Jerry Pournelle reviewed my 4X game Anacreon back in 1989:

He basically complained about all the bugs and usability problems with it for 90% of the review. But then:

"The game of the month is clearly Anacreon; despite its problems, it's playable and the flavor is good, much like Beam Piper's old Space Viking series. Also, the author is busily fixing bugs even as I write this. (I called him a few minutes ago and read him what I've said.)"

Those were simpler days.

I remember Anacreon! I used to play that, and another Turbo Pascal game called BEGIN that was a sort of port of the Star Fleet Battles board game on my first PC clone that I got in the early 1990s aftet leaving the 8-bit world.

I have this stored locally, of course. And re-bought one physical issue from 1981, that defined computer interaction and programming as we know it today. Say my name... :-) https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-08

If you are patient, you could name some money by selling them individually on eBay

I think you can get all the same content at the internet archive without the mandatory tracking cookies.

Are any of the overseas or foreign language editions archived anywhere?
