Jurassic News è una fanzine realizzata da appassionati di retro computing con lo scopo di dare vita ad un periodico gratuito che tratti l’informatica delle origini.

Tutti hanno sentito parlare del Commodore64, dello Spectrum o dell’Apple II (tanto per citarne alcuni): sono i nomi fantasiosi dei primi calcolatori personali veramente alla portata di tutti. Qualcuno di voi ne ha posseduto uno o magari lo possiede ancora e ricorda l’eccitazione di quei primi passi nel mondo dell’informatica che ora è ormai esplosa e permanea tutta la nostra vita quotidiana.

Coloro che ricordano con nostalgia la pionieristica atmosfera dei primi approcci al BASIC o al linguaggio macchina o che semplicemente hanno passato molte ore cercando di superare quel livello di gioco che sembrava impossibile, troveranno in J.N. la stessa atmosfera di un tempo.
