I've decided to release the Grunt Presses here, one a day. Here is today's very first available one, of the old Grunt Presses where the newly hired part-timers, including me, make our first appearance in print:

Issue 8 is only 6 pages, but some mentions of Tank Commander being worked on as well as the Roulette double pattern table by Ken Shimizu.

When I take over editing and publishing of the Grunt Press:

Christmas 1982 Issue:

January 6 1983 Issue:

I mention I'm working on PAC-MAN, Todd MacNaught starts on the Logo project, and Todd and Ken try to debug our NABU 1100 Development environment that uses MCP2, a version of CPM that also contains a portion of NABU IOS.

End of January 1983, Still plugging along on Roulette, Arthur working on 3D Tank Maze (aka Tank Commander)

The last of the copies I have of the Grunt Presses I personally edited. There were other editions, but they are lost in time.

The ALL NEW Grunt Press. Taken over by Marketing and published by Ed Hum. Spiffier look, less tech stuff, more humanity.

Valentine's Day 1983 Issue, Some great artwork. Mention of the Franchise Manual for Cable Operators (where is that?)

In this issue:

- Barbara Crook, NABU media nemesis
- The TURTLE CLUB, NABU's own cable access show! (I wish I could find some video on it)
- Ian Rae, Gordon Gow
- Chris Wallace and NABU are mentioned in Japan's MSX Magazine
