Ahoy! Best of Antho Ahoy! Best of Anthology NEW

Bruce Thomas has come through with another great collection! This time we have an 8 disk collection of all the best Ahoy! had to offer.  The following is a partial quote from the email Bruce sent with the disk images:

Ahoy! Magazine released eight Anthology Disks between July 1985 and May 1987. These disks covered four categories (Best of [Year], Best Utilities, Best Games, Best C-128) and included programs that had appeared in the magazine from January 1984 to April 1987.

Copies of the Best of 85 and Best Utilities disks have been available for a couple decades but the other Anthology Disks haven't been to my knowledge.

Most of the programs have been available in one location or another but I did have to type-in a few.I also went through all of the magazines and updated the programs with patches/changes that had appeared in the magazine both before and after the official Errata column arrived in the January 1985 magazine. Many of the problems were from messed up printed program listings but some of the programs on-disk actually had flaws that needed correcting. You may want to update your existing Ahoy! Disk Collection with these versions.

No documentation is included. For that, you will have to read the magazines - the issues for each program can be found in the ad on Page 41 of the May 1987 magazine (jpg included). One notable exception is Syntax Patrol on the Best of 86 disk which is listed as being in the September 86 issue whereas it is actually in the November 86 issue.

If you want all the gory details read the TLDR version of this file included here.

Thanks Bruce for all the efforts you put into preserving, correcting, and completing if these collections.
