Atari Journal - Public Domain

The J or Journal series is another public domain series published by an Atari magazine. Atari PD Journal or later Atari Journal was somewhat unique though because the magazine had a heavy emphasis on public domain. Each issue featured „the catalogue“, where public domain programs were reviewed on one or more pages. New additions to the big public domain series were featured in the magazine as well. The emphasis on public domain was toned down in later years. Atari Journal ceased publication with issue 01/93.
