ANTIC (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ANTIC was the name of a home computer magazine devoted to the Atari 8-bit computer line (Atari 400/800 and compatibles). Its ISSN is 0113-1141. It took its name from the ANTIC chip which produced the Atari line's graphics. The first issue was published in April of 1982 as bimonthly magazine. Within a year it had gone monthly. The last issue was in June/July of 1990. All told, 88 issues were published. A "Best of" book was also published. Its main rival was A.N.A.L.O.G. magazine, another long-lived magazine devoted to the Atari 8-bit line.
In 1986, ANTIC spun off STart Magazine, a sister publication aimed at the Atari ST line in; the daughter magazine would outlive its parent by about a year.
[edit] Typo
ANTIC magazine's most useful feature was a program called TYPO (Type Your Program Once). This was a program that generated a code for each Atari BASIC line entered in a program. By comparing this code with the code in the magazine, the reader could check if they typed in the BASIC source correctly. TYPO was later succeeded by TYPO II, a smaller, faster program.
Versions of TYPO were also published and used (with permission) by Page 6 magazine.
