Skrolli
Finnish computer magazine
Skrolli is a Finnish computer magazine. It was founded in September 2012 and a sample issue was released shortly afterwards. The magazine has been issued quarterly since March 2013. In December 2015 a crowdfunding campaign for an international English language edition was launched; this Skrolli International Edition shipped in April 2016.
While most famous in its native Finland, Skrolli has received international attention. For example in 2018, LucasArts alumni, game designer David Fox used a Skrolli magazine article about Rescue on Fractalus! as basis of a memoir thread on Twitter. In 2019, game designer Jeff Minter gave two presentations on Skrolli's stage at the Assembly demoparty.
In 2014–2015 the Finnish language Skrolli featured Mikrokivikausi comic strips by Harri "Wallu" Vaalio. The virtual cover disk of the first Skrolli International Edition included a playable demo of the game Illuminatus, which originated as a popular April fool's joke by MikroBitti magazine.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
