Big Blue Disk
''Big Blue Disk'' was a monthly disk magazine that was published by Softdisk Publishing between 1986 and 1998.
==History and profile==
The magazine was started in 1986, getting its name from the nickname for IBM, "Big Blue". The magazine was based in Shreveport, Louisiana. It carried various games and applications for DOS as well as reviews and various extras. Some of them were freeware or shareware, or demo versions of commercial programs, but other material was original to the disk magazine. When it began, it was published on 5¼" floppy diskettes, but it was later published on 3½" disks and CD-ROMs. Sometimes, but not always, the disks were actually blue as the title implied. Notably, it carried some games from Apogee, including ''Kingdom of Kroz'' and its sequels. In 1991, on issue #57 it was later changed to ''On Disk Monthly'' and then again renamed to ''Softdisk PC'' on issue #91. The series ceased publication in 1998. ''Softdisk for Windows'' was a spinoff publication for the Microsoft Windows operating system which outlasted it by a year. Other short-lived spinoff publications included the business-oriented ''PC BusinessDisk'' and the recreational ''Gamer's Edge'', the latter of which had on its original staff the people who soon founded id Software. There was also briefly a separate version for users with CGA and EGA graphics adapters, when the main publication (formerly compatible with CGA and even text-only MDA monochrome systems) moved to a graphical interface that required VGA graphics.
Publishing rights in some countries were licensed by Softdisk to other companies, which released adapted versions including ''PC Disk Downunder'' in Australia and New Zealand, and ''El Usuario'' in Latin America.
