I grew up in Denmark. THere were two.. one I dont remember, and another called "Det Nye Computer" which was great, until they ditched all the amiga stuff without a word or warning, changed their name to "Privat Computer" and lost every ounce of fun and good writing they had ever had.

Thanks JimS and Motorollin' - wow... almost forgot about Amiga Sentry, AmigoTimes, Antic's Amiga and Jumpdisk. I bought some of those disks too back in the day. $7-$10 they were, with coverdisks, but boy where they cool. Was a lot of fun checking out the various games and utilities back then. Back then, I thought the cost was a little prohibitive ($50-$70 for a mag subscription with coverdisks), but thinking about it today, there was a lot of value in 'em. AmigaWorld without any disks of course, was always around the $30-$35 a year range. Comparatively, mags were more expensive back then. Seems to me, the 1 or 2 I get today (Stereophile being one of them) only cost $10-$20 a year. Probably one of the reasons I value my old mags so much, besides the fact they're either Amiga, C=64 or vintage arcade/console mags  :)

Cool thread! I've always thought any kind of vintage/classic literature, mags with reviews, ads, programs, tips/tricks and videos are the perfect companions to our machines. Owning the machine w/ a smattering of software is not enough IMO. Mags and books totally complete the nostalgia and take you back to better times, if only for a short while.


yeah, I've read a lot of Amiga format and amiga power online, but Ive been tempted to hunt down some stacks on ebay to have a proper amiga book shelf next to my girl

Are you sure you didn't just buy a different magazine by mistake? :razz:

Wish it was so. They were trying to make themselves more of a "serious" computer magazine.
