Crash Magazine Issues 01-98 (February 1984 - April 1992)
Crash was the UK's best-selling computer magazine, dedicated to the Sinclair Spectrum. Mainly focussed on gaming, it also carried some technical content (mostly by the legendary Simon N. Goodwin) and industry news. These PDFs are the complied collections of page scans available on www.worldofspectrum.org . They've then been OCR'd to allow text searching and copying - this should prove very useful for the Sinclair archivist who'd like to have their own local searchable archive. The OCR software has done it's best, but has struggled with some of the more unusual fonts and layouts used (especially in later issues), and by the relatively low DPI of the source images. Also, paragraph formatting is a bit random at best; again, this is worse in the later issues. Thanks to Martijn van der Heide for the wonderful World Of Spectrum site (www.worldofspectrum.org), and ADJB and everyone else on the WoS forums for help and advice. 90's style "greets" to anyone formally or currently involved in the Amiga scene, especially Pazza, Mic Flair, Violator, Denzil, Tango, Fat Will, mUb and Maximan, and anyone else who read or wrote for LSD Grapevine.
