I always try to appreciate the good things in life, and the 85,000 CD-ROMs that people have uploaded to Internet Archive are one of those good things.

It's from this collection we get DISCMASTER.

First update of the year and I added a whole collection of nice images from CU Amiga magazine.

I went down the rabbit hole and added scans from the magazines' Art Gallery section, which included lots more really cool art. But as usual it's been really difficult to find the original versions of these images.

Of course, the answer was there all along: sample and sound library CD-ROMs https://discmaster.textfiles.com/cd-rom/Audio
CD-ROM: Audio

@gingerbeardman if you find something sounding good on Discmaster, you can click the Similar Audio link at the top right to find more audio that “sounds similar”. Alternatively if there is a track you already have, that you love the feeling of, you can upload a wav/mp3 of it to the auditory search box to find other tracks on Discmaster that sound similar. Your results may vary.

A puzzle game called "Circuit Heat" that I made in 2003 just popped up on PC Format 161, alongside a version of Sticky Balls by The Pickford Bros. @stepickford

Of course, now I remember making it, but prior to today I had forgotten all about it! https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/42140/PCF161DVD_05_04/PCF161DVD_05_04.ISO/Gamemaker/Blitz%20Research%20Demo%20Disk/DemoDisk1%20Files/Puzzle/CircuitHeat
