FutureDisk 50: The Final Issue – Launch

On June 14, FutureDisk will release its final issue: number 50. The physical version of FD50 will go on sale the same day at the MSX Vriendenclub Mariënberg meeting, where the crew will also celebrate their farewell party.

People who ordered the Special Limited box edition (SOLD OUT!) will be contacted directly by the FutureDisk team.

Physical sales kick off this Saturday in Mariënberg. Of course, FutureDisk and the MSX Vriendenclub Mariënberg would love to see you there. Can’t make it? Feel free to ask a friend to pick up a copy for you!

Any leftover physical copies will be sold at MSX2GOTO40. After that, and only if working floppies remain, we’ll offer shipping for individual orders. A digital version will be released at a later date.
