Borderline (magazine)
Borderline was a comics magazine created by former Comics International news and features editor Phil Hall, which was published from 2001–2003. Borderline was the first PDF comics magazine available to read on a computer or as a print-out.
Borderline was a cross between The Comics Journal and the NME with a heavy mix of mainstream American/British and international comic books. Comic books and creators from countries such as Brazil, Poland, and the Philippines were featured alongside American and British comic book icons.
History
Borderline was launched as a free download in August 2001. The idea of creator Hall was to produce something that appealed to the growing number of comic book fans, but didn't want just a website. Hall said in a 2007 interview with The Comics Village that the decision to create Borderline came from the growing amount of grassroots comics fans who wanted more than just to read magazines about Marvel and DC comics. The magazine's remit was to highlight areas of the comics industry that were neglected by the other magazines about comics.
Borderline (video game)
Borderline is a 1981 arcade game by Sega. The player controls a Jeep and has to destroy enemy refineries. There are four stages with different gameplay. The first stage plays very much like a vertical scrolling shooter. In the second stage, the player maneuvers his Jeep through underbrush, and enemies can only follow on its path, a concept later found for example in Dig Dug or Digger.
It was a launch game for the SG-1000.
