Markt & Technik Verlag (German for market & technology publishing) is a publisher of books.
They published:
- Happy-Computer (first issue Hobby-Computer; monthly 1983–1990): type-ins, courses, competitions, reviews and interviews for every platform.
- 64'er (monthly 1984–1999): Commodore 64 software, courses, competitions, reviews and interviews. Initially, software was printed as type-ins and could additionally be ordered on disk. Starting with 64'er 11/89, software over three pages was available on disk only. In March 1994, Markt & Technik transferred 64'er to their subsidiary Magna Media Verlag.
- 64'er Sonderheft (special issue; monthly 1985–1993): one theme per issue.
- 64'er Extra: one software per issue.
- 64'er-Disc (1990, reissued 1991): only one issue despite "quite good" sales.
- Power Play (1987–2000): reviews and interviews for every platform.
- Amiga-Magazin (1987–2009)
- Stand-alone software.
Games
Software and courses were made by readers and include games and music making. Every 64'er issue, one software was awarded 2000–3000 DM for listing of the month, another software 500–1000 DM for application of the month.
Audio Personnel
Two competitions launched the careers of Chris Hülsbeck and graphic artist Manfred Trenz. In the 1986 music competition, Hülsbeck ranked 1st and won 1000 DM, Michael Winterberg 2nd and 500 DM. The top 29 was published in late September and featured Georg Brandt, Peter Thierolf and Urs Heckmann.
Shortly after, Brandt and Hülsbeck each submitted a music editor and won either monthly award. One of the developers on Nippon (C64) vaguely remembers that Markt & Technik connected them with Heckmann.
In the 1988 music competition, Stefan Siegert ranked 1st and won a Korg, Dirk Bialluch ranked 3rd. Markus Müller did not make top 10. His entry was probably first released in 2007 by HVSC. All these contestants except Winterberg and Trenz were teenagers.
