Sorry, but I'm keeping mine. That last issue could become a collector's item, y'know...(well, maybe not :-D)

I can however tell you as a guide that the high point of the magazine definitely came after it changed from 'The One for Amiga Games' (where the reviews were tepid and the scores were generally too high) to 'The One Amiga'. The golden era ceased around towards the end of 1994. Still had great coverdisks there though.

Avoid the ones post July 1995...anyone who got one will know what I mean. The 'Maverick edition' contained amateur writing, unnecessary 8-page reviews (well, in a magazine where nobody advertises you have to fill it with SOMETHING) that droned on and on, useless tips and a recycled 'Recommended' section. I stopped getting it when it insulted my intelligence (I was 11 at the time). Apparently it had 16 pages and one coverdisk by the time it died again in July 1996.

It was still better than Amiga Action, even then. :-D
