Which Amiga magazine did you buy?

In the early to mid 90's, some of our bookstores and video game boutiques were getting foreign Amiga mags. I remember Amiga Format and their cover disks real well. $10 or more a pop though, so pretty pricey. I remember thinking the foreign Amiga mags looked too "busy" and cartoonish for my tastes, but they were fun for what they were - the 11x14 behemoths! lol  

I'm with you on that one. When we started carrying UK mags at the store, I thought their layout was poor... sort of "fannish". Took a little while to get used to UK English vs American English. ;-)

...it'd be nice if someone came up with a complete listing of all Amiga mags in publication and where they were from at one time. I'm curious to see all the British and European 'zines that were around. Any from Australia or New Zealand? Okay, I'll start with all the ones I'm aware of in North America:

Ahoy!
Amazing Computing
Amiga Resource (Compute!)
AmiExchange
AmigaWorld
Info
The Transactor

There is a list at the Amiga wiki.. here.. http://www.amigawiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Magazines
There were a lot of magazines that didn't last very long back in the Elder Days. I think the marketplace was overloaded.

I think the prices of those magazines has a lot to do with advertising and circulation... Look at say, Popular Science today compared to an electronics hobbyist magazine like Nuts & Volts or Elektor.

One thing we really need is a huge cross-reference index to all those Amiga magazines. I have a couple swiped off the web to AmigaWorld & Amazing, but that's about it. I should think about OCRing the contents pages of all those scanned issues out there on the TerraBook.
