Finally, we managed to put up the first installment of scans from the collection of Norwegian C64<\/abbr> & Amiga<\/abbr> scener<\/abbr> HBH (a.k.a. Sorry Morry, a.k.a. ZTH), who had kindly sent it to us back in 2023. Spanning from 1987 to 1989, this batch includes a couple of party invitations, an advert for the German “News” papermag<\/abbr>, and a bunch of letters from all over the world. Highlights include a detailed latter from US-American C64 sysop John a.k.a. Mad Hatter of Purple Dragon BBS<\/abbr>, in which he describes copy parties in the USA, as well as a swapletter from Switzerland written on the back of a flyer from a fishmonger which still exists and which the editor of this website walks by every day. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, the images can be viewed in the gallery below, and the hi-res scans, complete with metadata sheets, can be accessed from the links in this list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
