(Not Very) Special Issue #2026
... LOST IN C=BITS was born in the late fall of 2020 in the middle of the Plague. The concept grew towards some kind of a book until it shrunk into a Fanzine. After one issue, it didn't look like a second one could be realized until it had been re-designed and re-orgazined to the core - The same old: "Keep what (sort of) functions and discard what doesn't."
Meanwhile, texts were written every now and then, but many of them didn't fit my imagined concept of a "C64 Zine"-format anymore. Plus I wanted to make some kind of a Perzine instead. After going through the raw material for the nth time, more than 50% of it was flushed down the drain. What remained eventually turned into features with a couple of common themes, but at that point, the resurrected "issue #1.5" (2023) was more or less finished and likewise where I wanted LIC=B to be...
So here they are instead - Those other "lost" bits...

This is a 128-page C64-Fanzine / Perzine that eventually ended up being 164 pages. (Well, it's the first issue, and everything. Some pages just had to be added.) And you can probably guess the drill - Game descriptions, reviews, and appreciation across four decades.
There are of course better and more professional Fanzines out there still dedicated to our 8-bit cutie, but one more can't hurt... At least I hope it doesn't...
The show had to go on... And it did...
