Although guardian journo's are normally part of the tribe of Mac, we get a nice little mention here:

Nice. Back in the day, I remember commenting to friends that I didn't need a console since my Amiga had great games and I was also able to do a lot more with it than just playing games as well.

>ReloKick...letting you play all the additional games

If only :-(
  ReloKick certainly helps, but it is far from letting you play 100% of A500 games, it worked for about 50-75% of them IIRC.

Not to mention the frankly weird advice on choosing the A500+ then using relokick.. why not just an A500?  Also the 500+ has that leaky battery so most of them are dead now anyway.

Shame they didn't speak to someone knowledgeable and get an A1200 with WHLoad as the suggested machine.  Hey-ho, nice to see some Amiga love in the mainstream press though!
