Spanish users. A question.

I remember another Spectrum (or video games) magazine from Spain besides Micro Hobby.

I think it was called "Micro Mania" but I could be wrong. It was much larger than normal magazines, like a newspaper size.

Does anyone remember this? And if anyone knows what I'm talking about and knows what is the name and do you know if there is an archive somewhere online for it?

I only remember keeping one copy but for years I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks.

    Yes, It's Micromania.

    It wasn't a spectrum-only magazine, and only started with the newspaper format in its second or third "periods".

    As far as I know the first periods (those related to the 8 bits) were preservated by the same team that did Microhobby preservation, but its distribution was denied. It can be easily found in internet though.

    Thank you thank you!

    I looked but at first couldn't find it but now looking at the MicroHobby site I see what you say.

    I'll look fro the Micromanias. Sometimes I thought they were better than SU and YS (I never remember seeing a Crash magazine but in later years I think I have a some from ebay)

    I really liked Microhobby, too.

    Just looking through their site I already saw a couple of the ones I used to own.

    I think I TZX'd Senda Salvaje for TZX vault but I can't remember. I did a bunch and this was years ago.

    Well, I'm off to be naughty and see if I can find MicroMania!

    Ah and there was something else, I remember typing in from a magazine. I don't know if it was Microhobby or another but the type in was "Troglodita"

    Why is it so sad to discuss that you had to use this "sad" emoticon? ;)

    Yes, Micromania, even if they were not Speccy exclusive, they were a very good read, I have a lot of issues too ;)

    BTW Sadako, before getting rid of your collection of games, PM me!! :)

    First time I've seen a MM issue was no. 2, with that awesome map of Sabre wulf... wow!

    First issues were printed in a smaller size (primera ?poca), from 1985 to 1988, my fave period. I loved their maps: Fairlight, Saboteur, Movie... as well as game reviews, with that 'top 20' as a poster at the center page.

    It was a monthly magazine, whereas Microhobby was weekly, both from the same company (Hobbypress).

    Memories! :-)
