In the early 90's, I had subscriptions to the following:
Amiga Format
Amiga Shopper
CU Amiga

I used to also buy (but not all the time):
The One Amiga
Amiga Power

The last magazine I bought regularly was Amiga Active.

Edit-
BTW your new avatar is forcing me to move the leftmost 250 pixels of my browser window off the edge of the screen as it makes me feel all funny :nervous:


You can turn off avatar display in your UserCP preferences btw ;)

Tricky, the only thing you could do there is use the "ignore" feature, but it's kinda draconian. How about locating the image in your browser cache and replacing it with a picture of a fluffy bunny?

Well, as the question was which ones you bought, I guess not :lol:

Seriously, you actually stole copies?

Well... they were unsold and sitting outside the shop in a metal box waiting to be picked up and returned to source I think.

When a mate told me there were Amiga magazines sitting outside the local shop I was 100% convinced he was taking the piss (seeing as CU and AF had closed).

Imagine my surprise!!


I had the same reaction when I wandered into a local news agent to buy a snack. I casually looked over over the computer section of the magazines and there it was, issue 1 of Amiga Active.

I hadn't even heard of it at that point as I wasn't really keeping up with what was going on (even though I was using my machine daily, I wasn't online). I practically had to rub my eyes.

So, naturally I bought it :)

No love for Amiga Active?


I thought it was a nice mag, actually. Especially given it's appearance at a time when I thought amiga print magazines in the UK had finally ceased forever.
