I remember when I fist got my Amiga each month a tired a different mag, Amiga Format first, then CU Amiga, Amiga Shopper and then Amiga Power, in the end I picked Amiga Format as i think it did have the perfect balance of covering all areas of Amiga. I subscribe from I think around issue 80 up till the end, very sad when it did go. I also got every issue of Amiga Active as I was really looking forward to the AmigaMCC, but as we know that never happened. So when Amiga Active finally ended, I was very sad not having a monthly mag, I think its a big reason I stop following the Amiga scene as much in around 2003 to 2009, I recently subscribe to Amiga Future as it was the least I could do after winning their mouse mat in the Amigaworld competitions and the fact i wanted more news on the new AmigaONE i'm surprised by how good it is, wish i got them a lot earlier.
One good thing however is when I went to get my second hand Amiga Power Tower in 99 the guy who sold it to me had nearly
every single issue of Cu amiga and loads of Amiga shopper, CD32 Gamer, all the early Amiga Format mags up to around issue 40, even the ST/Amiga format mags all in great condition! He actually said the reason he gave up on the Amiga dream was because of the closer of CU Amiga, so gave them all to me.(the car was weighed down that day!) I kind of knew what he meant when Amiga Active closed.
