Mycom BASIC Magazine (マイコンBASICマガジン), a contraction of Microcomputer BASIC, colloquially known as "Bemaga" was a computer (and later video game) magazine published in Japan. The bulk of the content was made up with type-in programs in the relatively easy to understand BASIC language, which made it popular with hobbiest programmers who could learn programming from typing in the programs. Other similar magazines of the time published their type-in programs in hexadecimal machine code, which whilst having the advantage of performing faster were relatively unintelligible for the budding programmer. The magazine has been credited with inspiring a great many Japanese developers, including Yuzo Koshiro who got his first job in the video game industry with Micom in 1985 aged seventeen writing the section "The Video Game Music Program", after impressing them with a music program submitted to one of their competitions.
