I/O Magazine Covers


I/O magazine was produced by Atari UK in the early 80's. From what I can gather, you had to be a member of Atari UK's 'Home Computer Club' to get these things. Because they were produced by Atari, the content was almost 100% Atari related, and they were extremely biased towards Atari, with every new Atari product reviewed getting top marks! I wrote an article talking about the content of these magazines some time ago. This article is also on this website. Click here to read the article.
This is the very rare issue 1 of I/O magazine from late 1982. This issue was just a large fold-out piece of cardboard, hence the cover has been scanned as two bits and joined together.
By issue 2 (Spring 1983) I/O had become a proper A4 sized magazine.
The Summer 1983 (Issue 3) issue shows Paul Daniels who had just released his adventure game at the time
Issue 4 (Autumn/Winter 1983)
Issue 5 (Spring 1984) showing a young Justin Whittaker who had recently written 'Lone Raider' for Atari UK. Issue 5 is, to my knowledge, the last issue of I/O magazine.
