Blast from the past: Stardock Magazine 1997

OS/2 is the future, man!

Stardock Magazine is nearing its 10th year anniversary.  In the old days, Stardock Magazine was done as a regular magazine.  The ones from 1996 were done with Page Maker 5 (Which I can't convert with Adobe InDesign).  So here's one from early 1996 as a PDF.  Some of the graphics and fonts are wrong (i.e. the layout errors and such weren't in the actual paper version) but it gives you an idea of what kinds of things Stardock was up to way back then.

Brad, where was Stardock located before you moved to Livonia?

Interesting stuff!
I also note that your games are actually cheaper now then in 97! This is a cool look back.

Sad to say, by 1997 I had given up on OS/2.... I was learning the pains of 95 OSR2 (first real usable 95, original release was the suck)...

OS/2 really was the superior OS in my book, back in the day, but IBM dropped the ball big time with it. The industry isn't going to follow any OS maker that loses confidence in its own product (look at what happened to BeOS, which was promising for about 3 weeks)..

I'm glad something good came of the OS/2 days though - Stardock.

I miss the old days.

Using OS/2 was the most fun I ever had with computers. Before everybody switched to Windows NT, before Windows NT 4, OS/2 was so much superior to other platforms (except expensive systems like NEXTSTEP), it wasn't even funny. But it was fun.

I like Mac OS X more than OS/2, but I still miss the old days.
