El Tebeo Informatico

Hello, all..

I'm going through the last batch of magazine scans, and there's a batch under "Snippets" called "El Tebeo Informatico".

Does anyone have any idea where I might find out where these came from, in terms of month/year etc?

Week/year. It was published every week.

The spanish newspaper "El País" included a supplement for kids every Sunday (called "El pequeño País"), and "El tebeo informático" was a column included into that supplement.

AFAIR, in included reviews/loaders/pokes for games of 8 bit computers, so there were also Amstrad and MSX articles. I don't know if that collection includes all snippets or only Spectrum related ones.

Thanks for the information.
Is it too much to hope that there's a list of when each game was reviewed/etc?

I think 'El Tebeo Informático' started in 1987.

We can see the date of the review only if the review appears in the first page of the supplement. For example, in Arkanoid you can see the date under the 'EL PEQUEÑO PAIS' headline: 12 april 1987.

In Dragon's Lair 2 the date is 26 april 1987 and in Scooby Doo, 29 march 1987. But we can't see any more dates, unfortunately.

In the Uridium review there's a mention about the start of the 'tebeo informatico'. It says it started in the Trap Door review ('last week'). So Uridium was the second review, the week after.

Maybe the 'El Pais Semanal' library might give us any clue. But its issues are only available since 2013, unfortunately.
