Which Amiga magazine did you buy?
« on: December 21, 2010, 12:25:19 PM »
Just out of interest which Amiga magazine did you buy, and why? I bought CU Amiga which was excellent. Bought Format a few times but not as good as CU Amiga in my opinion.:)

When I was in my early teens I loved Amiga Power - the attitude of the writing, the focus on games, and the cool coverdisks.
 
When I got a bit older (and AP became a shadow of its former self) I moved to Amiga Format for a bit, then eventually got a subscription to CU Amiga. This was by far the best in terms of quality, content and the amazing CUCDs.
 
I really miss those magazines :cry:

I'd bought Amazing computer Amiga and Awiga World magazines. It's sad that the magazines just dropped off with no closing statement leaving users hanging. They both were good works.

I have the last edition of CU Amiga which had the front cover printed upside down as a bit of a prank. But there was no warning to it's going pre this. But I know one of the team brought out Amiga Advice or something like this. But it folded not long after. I really looked forward to CU Amiga arriving through my letter box each month. Good thoughts. I actually notice that Nick Veitch of Format and CU Amiga went on to work for PC Answers but it too has since folded.

That's correct they wanted to end on a high and they did. In fact I think they released some heavy duty software stuff on the last disk. Talking of the disks they gave away SCALA 100MM free which was a fantastic piece of software.

Amiga Format - MUCH preferred it to CU Amiga, just my opnion. However I liked both magazines and subscribed to them from very early on.
 
Sadly about 8 years ago I found myself homeless and in need of cash, lived with a friend for 6 months and had to get rid of the magazines, couldn't store them any longer. Sold all the cover CDs on Ebay- my entire collection of EVERY Amiga Format, CU Amiga cover CD - not a single one missing, including the infamous CU Amiga TFX for AGA machines-scoop CD and a couple of CD32 games. Makes me cry just to think about it. Wish I never had parted with them now...I have a WinUAE monster-PC to use them on.
 
Ah well...
Hi sorry to hear you were homeless hope you are sorted now all the best to you:)
