19.07.2023 - German 'ASM Magazin' is back
ASM returns - The ASM (Aktueller Software Markt), a popular computer magazine in the late 1980s, is still revered in retro circles today. It has recently made a comeback after a 28-year hiatus. The new issue, 3/23, aims to provide an overview of the current 8-bit and 16-bit software market, just like it did in the past. However, the new ASM is more than just a software magazine. It also pays tribute to the old ASM editions from the 1980s. There are plenty of interviews with former editors, which offer interesting insights into the daily work of software journalists at that time.
