a single Atari resource under the ANALOG name, beginning with the November issue. Two issues of the combined magazine were published before LFP Inc. shut it down. STart magazine reported this, incorrectly claiming that both magazines were dropped less than a month after the announcement, but correctly reporting that production staff merged into another publication owned by Pappas, Video Games & Computer Entertainment. The final issue of ANALOG Computing was December 1989, #79. There was no mention that this would be the last issue. Additional products ANALOG Software In its early years, ANALOG Computing sold games via mail order under the name ANALOG Software. Several of these were written by magazine staff members. Some games were advertised, but never completed or published, such as Sunday Driver and Titan. Released games Crash Dive (different from the Brian Moriarty text adventure printed as a type-in listing) Star Sentry Buried Bucks Race in Space, later printed as a type-in listing in the magazine Carnival, licensed from Sega Books ANALOG published two books of program listings and tutorials. The ANALOG Compendium (1983) contains "the best Atari home computer programs from the first ten issues." An Atari 8-bit Extra from ANALOG Computing (1987) contains previously unpublished programs. The ANALOG Computing Pocket Reference Card was published in 1985 and sold for US$7.95. It contains a summary of Atari BASIC commands, player/missile memory layout, hardware register and operating system addresses, ATASCII characters, graphics modes, and other information. Bulletin board The ANALOG Computing Telecommunications System, or ANALOG Computing TCS, was a custom bulletin board system accessible only through paid subscription. After the TCS launched, an 8-page ANALOG Computing TCS Guide was bound into an issue of the magazine.
